Cramolin does not recommend DeoxIT for pots. It might dissolve the
carbon track, but they do make a product designed for pots.

DeoxIT is totally unrelated to Cramolin.

Cramolin is a brand of the German company, ITW Chemische. Their current contact cleaner (replacing Cramolin red) is Contaclean, and the current contact lubricant (replacing Cramolin blue) is Protection. Top-Pin is for precious metal contacts. Cramolin also makes a number of zero-residue cleaners and degreasers of varying aggressiveness, and a bunch of other tech sprays. Their products are of the highest quality and for the most part they tell you what is in them. See http://www.itwcp.de/en/

DeoxIT is a contact cleaner supplied by the American company, Caig Laboratories, the former importer of Cramolin products in the US.

The distinction is important -- in a number of tests, Caig products have proven much inferior to the real Cramolin products, and in some cases have actually caused damage to components.

Cramolin products are somewhat harder to find in North America, but well worth it.

Best regards,

Charles
