Eternabond Prep

Would anyone know what is in the Eternabond cleaner spray, it is difficult to procure around here and I would like a substitute, this stuff works really well to clean the surface before applying the Tape...

Our roofing is TPO.

    Dicor says about their Diflex II TPO roofing material that if there is "(E)xposer to acids, solvents, greases, oil, fats, chemicals or the like" no warranty coverage. So acetone is ok on TPO but not rubber?

    I also used acetone on the area for the eternabond. It dries and evaporates
    quicker than mineral spirits.

    Regarding my Winnie's rubber roof, Winnebago says: "Do not use acetone or any products containing petroleum distillates on the surface" on page 11-2.

    According to the can I have in the garage, it contains heptane, acetone and co2. I bought the can when I bought the Eternabond, but there was a delay in the delivery, so I used acetone.

    I used acetone, cleaned up the roof and helped remove lap sealant residues. I have a EPDM roof and the acetone did not damage the roof.

    The directions that came with mine said to use mineral spirits. It has held up fine using that.
