Safety Parts Cleaning Solvent is Sierra's combustible, non dangerous goods parts wash solvent for workshop washers, in 20 L drums and 200 L drums.
What it does
This is a hydrotreated petroleum distillate with a flash point above 118°C. Sierra says it cleans like a solvent while avoiding the fire risk of a Class 3 dangerous good; it is combustible rather than flammable. It softens grease, oil and grime on mechanical parts and evaporates very slowly, so it stays in the washer and on the part rather than flashing off. Water will not dilute it.
Where to use it
Workshops, fleet depots, mine and farm maintenance sheds, and engineering shops that run parts washers or brush tanks and want to keep Class 3 solvents off site. Part of our solvents and thinners range.
How to use
- Fill the parts washer or brush tank to the maker's level.
- Brush or soak the part until the grease lifts, then scrub.
- Drain the part over the tank, then wipe or blow dry in a ventilated area.
- Replace the solvent once it is heavily contaminated and send the waste to a licensed collector.
Safe on / avoid
Suits steel, cast iron, aluminium and most metal components. Test rubber and plastic parts first. Although combustible rather than flammable, it still burns, so keep it away from heat and ignition sources and store it apart from strong oxidants. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.

▸How flammable is Safety Parts Cleaning Solvent?
It is combustible, with a flash point above 118°C, and is not a Class 3 dangerous good on the SDS.
▸Why choose a high flash point parts wash?
Sierra pitches it as solvent strength cleaning without Class 3 flammability, which suits workshops cutting back on flammable stock.
▸Does it evaporate quickly?
No. Its boiling range of 250 to 330°C means it stays wet. For fast drying use Sierra Lite Brake Cleaner (Solvent B1).

The SDS classifies it as an aspiration hazard, so never swallow it or siphon by mouth.
DANGER Aspiration Hazard Category 1: if swallowed it can enter the lungs, which can be fatal (no H number printed on the SDS).
