Cramolin Electrical Contact Cleaner |
|
|
I scan around for various news and opinion about electronic cleaners.
I read a post about the Cramolin company on Usenet, but not sure of the status of the company.
Regardless, I found I can order Cramolin Contaclean through Newark Electronics as a Farnell part #
840026.
The stock is not big in England, but hopefully they can get more quick.

Wow.
I know it can be ordered in the US through a phone call to the guys at
cramolin.de, but the shipping costs and duties are incredibly high.
If there's any way to get it through Newark and let them deal with the
importation procedure, it might be a lot cheaper. Let us all know how
it goes!

I believe there are "issues" with its use in many US locales. |

I will probably order some. Newark is not as friendly, as they tighned up minimums, and
shipping costs for me. It does not show up on the Newark website. Just ask your
local rep. It seems most all the Cramolin products are on the Farnell website. Just search Cramolin.

What I was talking about was a usenet post about the Chemz company buying
out Cramolin. Possible elimination or changes of that Cramolin product?
Don't know if its true. Will find out.

FWIW, The techies here stopped using Cramolin years ago claiming it
eventually left a sticky residue. Have since switched to products by
the Caig corporation. They make several sprays and lubricants. |

I also switched to the Caig DeoxIT and ProGold products, www.caig.com .
Much easier to use, find and have many convenient applicators.
The mini spray and pens are easy to carry around. Newark carries them
and they have many international distributors. Not sure if Farnell
carries it yet - if not they should. Oh, the DeoxIT and proGold do not
leave a sticky residue. I also had that experience with Cramolin stuff
and something in it also ate away some plastic switches. So far so
good with the Deoxit stuff - been 10 years now.

According to the German MSDS, it's really just oleic acid in a solvent
with a little Sudan Red. You could probably drink it if it's a fluorocarbon
solvent.

Maybe in the UK.. Newark here has no minimum. I just ordered 50 RJ-12
connectors, and some other small thing... a blade for a Harris punch
tool.. |

Yeah; I still have a tiny residual quantity of both the
red and blue, and still would prefer them for non-wiping
contacts like relays. I use them on a high-clay paper
like a glossy business card.
And would greatly appreciate an update on available modern chem's.
Thanks, as always,

Caig proposed using freon. The deal never happened, mainly because Caig

Cramolin ws willing, and did remove the hazardous ingredient. Caig then
went on their own. Another good thing about the Caig sprays, it seems
like they are currently using non-flamable propellant, as they decided to
use when they broke off relationships with Cramolin. However, the Cramolin
Contaclean
spray bottle sprays extremly well, unlike every other spray bottle I've used.
It
has a nice controlled spray. must be that German engineering.

Go here. http://store.caig.com/
Type Cramolin in the search field. Click on Cramolin Sprays. Read the
ingredients. Number 1. FREON TF.

Not sure what your pointing out. It was Caig who used freon and
Dymet nonflamable. The German company used Freon and propane, still do as far as I know.
I have a bottle of R-100L. I have also tried the 100% form of DeOxit, and
like it, but I have not used it much yet. I think there is way too much Red
in the product. I suspect its just coloring material.

Sorry, I mis-understood you. I thought you were saying Caig never used
FREON.
"Many people perpeptuate this misinformation about its history.
I still have my dropper bottle of Cramolin. There is NO freon in it.
Never was.
greg"
That's why I said it was in the spray only and pointed out the
ingredients list from Caig documentation.

Who said anything about Freon? The Caig guy said it had something to do with
production byproducts going into the river.
