Trico is the same,
produces Phosgene, better known a Mustard gas, used by both sides in WW1

Got a 20L drum of triclone in the shed, I really try to avoid using it now. But as a kid, my dad always had it around the workshop and we pretty much used it for everything including cleaning our hands at the end of a days work.

I use the Normfest MC-1 brake cleaner all the time at work and it's really good (at least as good as the wurth stuff) but it's all pretty nasty stuff. The article mentions Argon and heat being the cause but I would strongly suggest that the Argon, being inert, had nothing to do with the incident and that merely exposing the brake cleaner to heat has caused this. I must say i'm a little suprised though.

That article was pretty scary! I am very glad I can only afford to use petrol to clean things!!!!!!!!
