Review Lubri-Clean options for your CRC cleaning application
Get a cleaner recommendation built around your maintenance job. Share your current CRC SKU, what you're cleaning and the materials involved. We'll review the Lubri-Clean candidates and quote the current package for your application.
Two catalog-described cleaning approaches
Lubri-Clean Tri-Free — 16020TF
For a process that calls for a non-chlorinated, quick-drying cleaner, start your review with Tri-Free. Lubri-Loy's catalog describes residue-free cleaning and degreasing of metal parts with residual grease and soil.
Lubri-Clean — 16020
For a cleaning process requiring a non-flammable product, review the current 16020 formula with our team. Lubri-Loy's catalog describes a non-flammable cleaner/degreaser with electrical-contact cleaning applications.

Email the current CRC part number, net fill and case quantity. Tell us:
- The soil you need to remove: grease, oil, dust or other contamination.
- The surface materials, including plastics, coatings and elastomers.
- Your electrical-maintenance procedures and process restrictions.
- Expected usage, order quantity and delivery destination.
For brake-cleaning work, include the exact brake-cleaner SKU and application. General degreasing ability does not establish brake-system suitability.
Cleaner comparison FAQ
Can I replace QD on sensitive electronics with Tri-Free?
Not on these descriptions alone. CRC lists QD 03130 as plastic safe; equivalent sensitive-plastic and electronics compatibility has not been established for Tri-Free. Provide the exact materials and obtain current product-specific guidance.
Does Tri-Free's listed 14 oz mean lower cleaning cost than an 11 oz product?
Not necessarily. Formulation, application method, usable coverage, purchase quantity and delivered price determine value. Request a quote; no cost-per-job advantage has been established.
Which 16020 size should I compare?
Use the current label on the supplied package, confirmed in writing on your quote. The live product page and catalog list different fills.
Where can I request the latest SDS?
Visit product documents or email customercare@lubriloy.com with the catalog number and application.
