I'd like a pointer to a source of polycarbonate cases.

I wonder if this is there method to get you to buy from them again?
Alcohol is not considered a "solvent" for any plastics, metals or epoxies used in electronics. It makes for a fair cleaner to remove grease and oils..
What about George Best?
Anything which removes labels or the glue they leave behind is of interest to me! Do you know what Goof-Off's active ingredients are ?
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.

The Allsop CD Strong Box:
The vast majority of CD (music, ROM, or otherwise) jewel boxes are polystyrene, including the half-thickness jewel cases. Some music CDs come with a clear center insert.
Don't know, but the product is a bout 3.00 a pint at my local Home Depot. It will burn your skin pretty well if you leave it on for a while. I used it once to remove tar off my fore-arm, and I won't do that again.

Neither are good for removing labels affixed to plastic surfaces.
Perfect, thanks!

Jeez, dude (edited, was dipshit). Google is your friend. A simple search on "Polycarbonate CD Cases" yields hits galore!
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.

Moron, there are *thousands* of different "plastics". Such an absolute statement shows what a complete moron you are! BTW, Goo-Gone works fine on many plastics, including melamine.
What a frappin' moron!

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

From the shit you spew in these groups, you have been huffing the crap for years.
Why don't you try snorting some, DimBulb. It might clear up your head! What a maroon! ...and everyone here knows it.

Hammond Mfg, in your own country, in fact :-).
I've used some of the transluscent and some of the clears and was very happy.
I think some of the NEMA-rated boxes are polycarbonate too.
Tim.
The strongest solvent I ever came across here was MEK (methyl ethyl ketone if I recall correctly). Smells very much like chloroform.
I have alswys liked to use spray furniture polish for optics. I beleive it contain silicon and this leaves a very fine (effectively optically transaprent) film which is also grease resistent.
