PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Contact Cleaner Lubricant DATE: 03/97
PRODUCT CODE: EML PAGES: 2
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A solvent / lubricant blend designed to remove surface contamination and oxidation from all metallic contact
surfaces. Reduces electrical resistance across the switch or connector by increasing the surface area of
the contact. Ensures long term protection from corrosion and arcing by depositing a fine film of Electrolube
(2X Oil) Contact Lubricant.
Available in a variety of packaging to ensure suitability and ease of use. 100% Ozone Friendly aerosol
version available.
PRODUCT USE
Primarily for slider / rotary tuners, potentiometers, for friction, ball or roller wiping contacts, slip rings,
brushes and commutators. Can also be used in rocker/push-pull switches, edge connectors, plugs and
sockets, valve pins, bulb holders, switch gear, locks, hinges and general electro-mechanical uses.
FEATURES
*An excellent electrical contact lubricant, electrical contact setting, and smooth mechanical setting
selection and performance.
*Reduces contact resistance to a low stable level without altering frequency through the components
designed variable setting range.
*Non-silicone, synthetic lubricant, eliminating problems caused by carbon deposits and silicone
migration.
*Clear, non-staining, anti-static.
*Conveniently packed in aerosol with extension tube for inaccessible areas.
*Compatible with most plastics, paints and rubbers.
*Prevents capacitance, resistance and frequency deviations, erratic high and low setting spots,
sparking and tracking.
*Rapid solvent evaporation ensures swift return to normal operation.
