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,
