CRC Industries is expanding its industry-leading Brakleen brake cleaner line with the launch of CRC Brakleen Platinum Brake & Parts Cleaner and a newly reformulated CRC Brakleen Brake Parts Cleaner (the iconic red can). 

The two formulations give service professionals distinct options based on cleaning application, formulation, flammability and regional availability.

More than 55 years after CRC pioneered the aerosol brake cleaner category with CRC Brakleen, the company continues to advance the category as automotive professionals navigate evolving performance needs and regulatory requirements. Leading that evolution is CRC Brakleen Platinum, which the company says is a first-of-its-kind, non-chlorinated formula that brings together less than 10% VOC, all-in-one brake and parts cleaning and 10x the cleaning power of leading low-VOC non-chlorinated formulas, so professionals can do more with fewer products.

“CRC pioneered the aerosol brake cleaner category with Brakleen more than 55 years ago, and we’ve continued to lead through innovation and performance ever since,” says Len Mazzanti, CEO of CRC Industries. “CRC Brakleen Platinum represents the next step in that legacy to help technicians clean faster with fewer products.”

As regulations continue to evolve, CRC states it also is reformulating its iconic CRC Brakleen Brake Parts Cleaner to give professionals a premium non-flammable option that maintains the trusted cleaning performance across all 50 states.

CRC Brakleen Platinum Brake & Parts Cleaner establishes a new standard for cleaning performance as CRC’s first all-in-one brake and parts cleaner. Its innovative formula delivers 10x the cleaning power of leading low-VOC non-chlorinated formulas, CRC states, giving technicians a powerful, versatile solution for everyday auto maintenance.

The fast-drying, residue-free formula helps technicians complete maintenance efficiently while requiring fewer cans to get the job done. With less than 10% VOC, CRC Brakleen Platinum will be available across 49 states and Canada, the company says.
