Mostly xylene.

Another label/glue remover is "goo gone". The above database lists its
ingredients as "proprietary or trade secret", but IIRC it's orange scented
naptha.
Neither are good for removing labels affixed to plastic surfaces.

Moron, there are *thousands* of different "plastics". Such an absolute

on many plastics, including melamine.

Most likely limonene (although you'd probably be able to smell that chemical
over a solvent, whatever the mix). Used in any "orange" cleaner product,
and evidently, suprisingly effective, considering it comes from orange peel.

Could be. They advertise that it's "orange", but I'm not convinced. It
does work, though not as well as other solvents.

Melamine isn't a plastic, DimBulb? "Plastic" is a term that covers a
*wide* variety of organic compounds. Only an idiot would assume they'd

Melamine is like "bakelite" that hard material that old simpson
multi-meters and ashtrays were made of.
I know it isn't plastic, dipshit. I know all about the materials
used in the electronics industry for components, and for component
packaging, terminal strips, encapsulation, conformal coating, etc.
A twit like you that acts as if he knows what I do or do not know is
showing just how retarded you are. You are just like the TerrellTard,

No shit. Most of them are petroleum based, and are soluble by way of

I use BBQ lighter fluid on plastics, with great results. No damage of
finish or paint. Best to test a inconspicuous space first, of course.

Alcohol is one of the more innocuous of the organic solvents. I doubt
that it would attack any plastic case, but other solvents can. One thing
that alcohol can do is dissolve the labelling ink on some circuit boards
or components. This would make repair (i.e., replacement based on the
component value or board number) difficult, maybe dangerous if it
happened that a lower-voltage component were substituted, for example,
because the original component's label had become smudged or obliterated.
Solvents might dissolve the lubricant on switch contacts, or sliders, or
disperse it over potentiometer tracks causing later problems. Spraying
solvent into equipment may damage speaker cones or piezo speakers.
Liberally dripping solvent into equipment may cause it to malfunction,
e.g., an air-gap capacitor trimmer will have different parameters when
the dielectric is liquid solvent, and if the solvent is flammable it
might cause a fire from static electricity or a switching spark. If a
cleaning solution were to leave an hygroscopic residue on a circuit board
this could initiate electrochemical corrosion (copper/brass + lead/steel/
aluminium in contact in a conductive solution). Water-based cleaners with
ammonia will be conductive, so could short out tracks on a board.
