MG Chemicals 406B-425G, Super Wash Electronics Cleaner, 16 oz., Aerosol, Case of 10
MG Chemicals 406B-425G, Super Wash Electronics Cleaner, 16 oz., Aerosol, Case of 10
MG Chemicals 406B-425G Super Wash is a hydrocarbon-based electronics cleaner and degreaser with very fast evaporation and zero solvent residue. It cleans printed circuit boards, machinery and compatible electrical or electronic devices, and can serve as a secondary rinse to accelerate drying after slower-drying cleaners. This listing is for a case of 10 aerosol cans.
Package clarification: The manufacturer specifies 425 g net weight and 590 mL net volume per aerosol. Use those manufacturer values for product comparison; the existing listing title retains its legacy 16 oz. wording.
Best Uses / Applications
- Quick cleaning and degreasing of compatible PCBs during electronics assembly, maintenance and repair.
- Secondary rinsing after slower-drying cleaners where the combined process has been validated.
- Removal of grease and many types of flux from compatible electronic assemblies.
- Cleaning compatible machinery and electrical devices after equipment is de-energized.
Key Features
- Very fast evaporation for applications where drying time matters.
- Zero solvent residue, as reported by MG Chemicals.
- Hydrocarbon-based cleaner/degreaser with a variable valve for flow control.
- Manufacturer-described as plastic safe; test actual assembly materials before use.
- Non-conductive, but flammable: do not use on live circuits.

Choosing the Right Cleaning Approach
| Approach | Selection consideration |
|---|---|
| 406B Super Wash | Very fast-drying hydrocarbon cleaner/degreaser for compatible PCBs and equipment; may be used as a qualified secondary rinse. |
| 4050A Safety Wash II | A separate solvent blend combining polar and non-polar cleaning action. Do not assume the two formulations are interchangeable. |
| Slower-drying cleaning process | 406B may accelerate board drying as a secondary rinse, but verify solvent compatibility and cleaning results for the full process. |
| Flux-specific remover | Evaluate when the exact flux residue is not adequately removed. No single cleaner should be assumed effective on every flux chemistry. |
Compatibility and Safe Handling
Do not use on live circuits. The manufacturer's non-conductive description does not make this aerosol suitable for energized equipment. De-energize equipment and allow complete drying before returning it to service. Test plastics, seals, coatings, adhesives and component markings on a representative sample before production use.
The current SDS identifies an extremely flammable aerosol and a pressurized container that may burst if heated. It also identifies skin irritation, suspected reproductive toxicity, drowsiness or dizziness, aspiration hazard and long-lasting aquatic toxicity. Read the complete SDS before use. Avoid breathing spray or vapors, use appropriate ventilation and protective equipment, keep away from ignition sources, and do not pierce or burn the container.
The TDS contains manufacturer statements concerning CARB and non-food-chemical use in food facilities. Obtain the applicable manufacturer recognition documents and confirm their scope for the intended use rather than treating this cleaner as food-contact approved or universally compliant.
Existing MTE availability and shipping restriction: Only available in the USA and Canada. Must ship ground.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is MG Chemicals 406B-425G used for?
Super Wash cleans and degreases compatible PCBs, machinery and electrical or electronic devices. The manufacturer also identifies it as effective on many types of flux.
Can Super Wash be used on powered equipment?
No. Both the TDS and SDS warn against use on live circuits. It is an extremely flammable aerosol despite being described as non-conductive.
How many cans are included?
This listing is for a case of 10 aerosols. Each can has a manufacturer-specified net weight of 425 g and net volume of 590 mL.
Why does the title say 16 oz.?
That is the existing listing wording. The current manufacturer specification is 425 g per can; use the metric net weight when comparing packages.
Can it speed drying after another cleaner?
MG Chemicals describes 406B as a secondary rinse that accelerates drying of boards treated with slower-drying cleaners. Validate the combined process and material compatibility first.
Does it leave residue?
The manufacturer reports zero solvent residue. The cleaning process must still remove dissolved contamination instead of allowing it to dry back onto the assembly.
Is it safe on all plastics?
Do not assume universal compatibility. Although the manufacturer describes it as plastic safe, test the actual plastics, markings, coatings and adhesives in the assembly.
What is the shelf life and shipping restriction?
The current TDS lists a five-year shelf life. This MTE listing retains its USA/Canada availability restriction and ground-shipping requirement.
