I have a can of brake cleaner that says: No CFCs. I don't know what that means, and what difference would it make if it is
not non-chlorinated?
not non-chlorinated?

CFCs are about the ozone layer. I think the "non chlorinated"(?) is if it is safe to use on a polymer frame.

CFC CONDOMS FOR CHICKENS. My PM9 has over 34,000+ rounds through it, and runs much better than an illegal trying to get across our border

Precisely Weedhopper. I don't think you can even buy clorinated brake cleaner anymore. Could be wrong on that.http://bawanna45.wix.com/bawannas-grip-emporium#!

Yes you still can buy chlorinated brake cleaner, at least by me. They have both on the shelf at all the local auto parts stores.Originally posted by Bawanna View PostA couple Colts, a couple Brownings, a Makarov, a Sig, a couple Rugers, a couple Kahrs, a couple Smith & Wessons, a Walther, and a couple Berettas .....Oh, and some long guns...

The non-chlorinated brake cleaner is better for the environment. Otherwise, no difference.Never trust anyone who doesn't trust you to own a gun.

CS:
I believe that "CFC's" in this instance refers to the old Freon12 propellant that was used in the "bad old days" to boost the product out of the can.
As you may remember automobile A/C used to use Freon12 (Difluorodichloromethane) before all the screaming about the ozone layer and now automobiles mostly use a 134a refrigerant (Tetrafluoroethane) that is less bad; basically because it uses no chlorine molecules that are accused of doing bad stuff.

CFC=chlorofluorocarbons=bad stuff. CFC Free=non-chlorinated=marginally better stuff if you like your liver and the environment. Both=potentially harmful to plastic (with CFC more so.) Both=kick butt degreasers and decarbonizers. Great for hosing out striker channels but will peel the paint off your sights. I don't use it on polymer.Comment

Don't think they sell it in farm stores. Especially in the sheep lingerie section.Originally posted by jocko View Posthttp://bawanna45.wix.com/bawannas-grip-emporium#!

Here in the great pacific north west (Orygun) you can still buy chlorinated brake cleaners. I'm told that the chlorine will melt polymer. I'm allergic to chlorine, so won't use it.
I have not yet "melted" any of my "plastic" guns with non-chlorinated brake cleaner. Cleans good!

CFC's refer to the propellant used to pressurize the can. Both chlorinated and non-chlorinated Brakleen are labeled as "NO CFCs"
Non-chlorinated Brakleen says "NON-CHLORINATED" in large letters on the front of the GREEN label.
Chlorinated Brakleen does not mention chlorination on its RED label."Typing the word "grandparents," I mistyped and the autocorrect changed it to CandyLand. Not entirely inaccurate." - Our daughter.

Read the label, I mistakenly said red was chlorinated but apparently some red labes are actually non-chlorinated.
