Is ArctiClean Conductive?

[MyLeftNut]

I've been using ArctiClean for a few years now and always wondered if it was conductive or not. I've never spilled it outside of the cores it was used on, but in the even that I do, or that I use it to clean grease that got on other stuff on a pcb like resistors, etc... So does anyone know?

Test for yourself. Put a little dab on a peice of paper. Then set your DMM to test continuity. If it beeps then its conductive. If you don't have a DMM then go out and get one. Its a good thing to have around. You can get them for about $20.

Just tested bottles 1 & 2 (cleaner & prep liquid) with my Fluke 77, and no they are not conductive.
