Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be!

@mijostyn,

CFCs were banned 20+ years ago - whatever is left is with those that horded the product a long time ago; and CFC-solvents have an indefinite shelf life.  So, enjoy what you have  - very few people have any left.  There are some laboratory quantities left for sale - but they are insanely expensive.  But for the sake of the planet and the safety of others - please stop recommending it or discussing it.  As I have now said twice, the replacement solvents in Brake Cleaner are now either carcinogenic or will dissolve the record.

And, the CFC's in your car AC system such as CFC-12 boiled at room temperature and could not and were never used as a solvent.  And the current replacement HFC-134a (that can dissolve Viton fluorinated rubber) that has no ozone depleting potential is being phased out because it has a high green house warming potential - yeah we fixed one problem only to cause another.  

@mijostyn  As a long time record collector, calling me Victorian is quite a complement. LOL.

@antinn   Thanks for attempting to bring some common sense and experience to this thread. +1

Cleeds, I was simply responding to your comments which seem rather odd. At any rate your previous comments were a perversion of the subject at hand thus misleading. 

Antinn, CFCs were banned in certain high use applications such as air conditioners. The worry was that they were breaking down the Oxone layer. They are readily available in various forms used for other purposes. This is the one I use https://www.grainger.com/product/5YK77?gclid=CjwKCAiAq8f-BRBtEiwAGr3DgW8iLDfylpAiijn-6L6umNg4_a4W971...
CRC also makes a CFC free formulation (green bottle) This one might damage PVC I do not know but rest assured the CFC version does no immediate harm to PVC even if you soak the record for a week because unlike several commentators here I have done it.  As you note there are various CFCs with varying boiling points. The ones in use now have relatively high boiling points. 

@mijostyn,

Your summary of CFC's is wrong.  All manufacture of  Class I ODS substances were banned in 1996 - and this included all applicable  refrigerants and solvents.  Class II ODS (HCFCs) are now banned or will be shortly.  Good heavens man, I was awarded an EPA Ozone Protection Award in 1995 for my Navy work in reducing the use of CFC-113 solvent  in precision cleaning of Navy life support systems.  I am intimately familiar with the whole CFC phase out and my follow-on work made me intimately familiar with the global warming issue with many refrigerants.

But you have confused chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) with chlorinated which are completely different.  The 'chlorinated' product you are using is the one that contains perchloroethylene - the human carcinogen.  The CRC Brake Clean Chlorinated SDS is here -  Grainger SDS Lookup.  

Not sure how my thread went from inquiring about the age old anti-static formulation that RCA was using on their vinyl, and which seems to work like a charm, even decades later...to: Brake Cleaning fluid used to clean one members LP's!! Just goes to show how fast these threads can and do go off rail!! LOL
