OTHER INFORMATION Recommended use: Recommended restrictions: Revision number: Further information: 3 CN No: 34039990 Contact Name: Carolyn Booth Department: Technical The information provided in this Safety Data Sheet is correct to the best of our knowledge, information and belief at the date of its publication The information given is designed only as a guidance for safe handling, use, processing, storage, transportation, disposal and release and is not to be considered a warranty or quality specification The information relates only to the specific material designated and may not be valid for such material used in combination with any other materials or in any process unless specified in the text Technical Data Sheet 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.
