WILL ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL DAMAGE MY ALUMINUM OR STEEL WEED GRINDER?
Isopropyl alcohol is a commonly used cleaning solvent that is safe for use on most materials, including aluminum and steel. However, it is important to use isopropyl alcohol carefully and in moderation when cleaning a weed grinder made from aluminum or steel.
When used in moderation, isopropyl alcohol will not damage an aluminum or steel weed grinder. In fact, it can be an effective cleaning agent for removing stuck-on plant material and other debris from the grinder’s teeth and grinding chamber. However, it is important to rinse the grinder thoroughly with water after cleaning to remove any residual alcohol and prevent corrosion. Excessive amounts of alcohol can damage the grinder, causing it to corrode or become weakened. It is best to use just enough alcohol to effectively clean the grinder without causing damage.
MY O-RING IS MADE OUT OF PTFE/NYLON, WILL ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL DAMAGE MY O-RING?
Isopropyl alcohol is a commonly used cleaning solvent that is safe for use on most materials, including PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), also known as Teflon, as well as Nylon.
Nylon is a synthetic polymer that is resistant to many chemicals, including isopropyl alcohol. When used in moderation, isopropyl alcohol will not affect nylon components in a weed grinder. However, it is important to use isopropyl alcohol carefully and in moderation when cleaning a weed grinder that contains a PTFE/Nylon ring. Excessive amounts of alcohol can cause the PTFE ring to become swollen or distorted, which can affect the grinder’s performance. It is best to use just enough alcohol to effectively clean the grinder without causing damage to the PTFE ring. In conclusion, isopropyl alcohol is safe for use on a PTFE ring in a weed grinder when used in moderation.
