Description
STA’-PUT ST172 Non-Flammable Solvent Cleaner is a 5 gallon shop cleaner used to remove adhesive overspray and clean spray equipment. The ST172 solvent cleaner is built for professional adhesive operations that need fast cut action, a clear liquid formula, and a non-flammable product choice for controlled plant maintenance work.
ST172 Solvent Cleaner Benefits
- Removes adhesive smears and overspray from equipment and surrounding work areas.
- Non-flammable formula fits plants that restrict flammable cleanup solvents.
- Clear liquid makes it easier to see residue lift and confirm wipe-down progress.
- 5 gallon pail format works for regular spray line maintenance and refill planning.
- Published TDS lists one year shelf life in unopened containers stored in the recommended temperature range.
The current technical data sheet identifies ST172 as an ITW STA’-PUT cleaner used on spray equipment and overspray cleanup. It lists methylene chloride and trichloroethylene in the solvent system, 11.2 pounds per gallon weight, and 1497.7 g/L VOC by EPA Method 24. The Chemical Concepts product page also notes this item is being discontinued as methylene chloride rules tighten, so buyers should confirm availability before building it into a routine stocking program.
Common Applications
- Cleaning adhesive spray equipment at the end of a shift.
- Removing overspray from shop fixtures and nearby metal surfaces.
- Wiping adhesive smears before they cure hard on laminated work.
- Keeping a dedicated non-flammable cleaner in maintenance areas that handle solvent-based adhesives.
Handling and Storage
- Use only with approved equipment and follow the current SDS and TDS.
- Do not thin the product.
- Store out of direct sunlight and do not open the container above 100 degrees F.
- Use saturated but not dripping cloths when cleaning bonded seams.
