TooTallTim-
I’ll declare an interest here, I work for a company that sells two types of brake cleaner and IPA.
Yes the normal brake cleaner is very (entertainingly) flammable so I wouldn’t spray a lot around and use a naked flame (of course I would I love fire!).
I’ve checked the safety data sheet and there is nothing about it turning into phosgene, it does not contain any compounds containing chlorine so it can’t.
I’ve used it for years and on bikes and motorbikes and it leaves no residue, funnily enough our brake cleaner is formulated to not leave an unsafe residue on brakes…….
Can’t speak for anyone else’s. OR FOR IPA!
It does however contain acetone which isn’t nice.

Why? Heat or uv? Just thinking I should be very dead by now.
