Choosing Kontakt Chemie

Start with the job: contacts, delicate electronics, dust, lubrication, heat transfer, soldering gas or label removal.

Switch and contact cleaning

Kontakt Super 10, the 701.227UK, combines high purity electrical cleaning with mechanical lubrication for contacts, switches and relays. The 701.227UK removes grease, tarnish and oxidisation and leaves a protective conductive lubricating film that resists drying and dust, cutting voltage drop between contacts by reducing resistance.

Electronics, optics and plastics

The 701.228UK Kontakt IPA contains 99.7% isopropanol in a 200ml aerosol can for pinpointed application on electronics, fine mechanics and optics, and evaporates completely. Where sensitive plastics such as polystyrene or polycarbonate are involved, the 701.226UK Cleaner 601 is formulated for electronic components and precision mechanics, has a low surface tension, leaves no residue and comes with an extension tube.

Dust removal

Dust Off 67 HFO, the 701.232UK, is a high pressure, inert, liquefied gas for removing dust and loose debris from sensitive components, optics and precision instruments. The 701.232UK is non-flammable according to directive 2008/47/EC and has a Global Warming Potential of 7 with no ozone depletion potential.

Grease, heat sink compound and soldering gas

The 701.224UK silicone grease is a lubricating, insulating and weatherproofing agent for switch contacts and ignition systems that repels moisture and prevents leakage and flashover on high voltage parts. The 701.223UK heat sink compound increases thermal conductivity and heat dissipation from electronic components, and the 701.225UK butane gas has a universal valve for filling gas soldering irons.

Labels and general cleaning

Label Off 50 acts on the adhesive itself to neutralise it, separating paper labels from glass, china, metal and wood. Label Off 50 comes as the 100ml 701.220UK and the 200ml 701.221UK. The 701.222UK Multi Foam 77 is a foam cleaner for workshops, offices and the home that is effective on glass, metal and textiles.

Frequently asked questions

What does Kontakt Super 10 do?

It cleans and lubricates contacts, switches and relays in one step, leaving a protective conductive film. The 701.227UK removes grease, tarnish, oxidisation and other contamination from contact surfaces, and its residual film resists drying and the attraction of dust. By reducing resistance, it cuts voltage drop between contacts.

Should I use Kontakt IPA or Cleaner 601?

Use Cleaner 601 where sensitive plastics such as polystyrene or polycarbonate are involved, and Kontakt IPA as a universal cleaner for electronics, fine mechanics and optics. The 701.228UK IPA is 99.7% isopropanol and evaporates completely. The 701.226UK Cleaner 601 has a low surface tension, leaves no residue and has an extension tube for hard-to-reach areas.

Is Dust Off 67 safe for electronics?

Yes, it is an inert, moisture and oil-free gas made to remove dust from electronic components without leaving residue. The 701.232UK Dust Off 67 HFO is harmless to all common materials in electronics, is non-flammable under directive 2008/47/EC and has a low global warming potential of 7. It suits sensitive components, optics and precision instruments.

What is heat sink compound used for?

It increases thermal conductivity so that electronic components dissipate heat efficiently. The Kontakt Chemie 701.223UK heat sink compound has high thermal conductivity, an excellent moisture buffer and a low metallic impurity content. Silicone grease, the 701.224UK, is a different product: a lubricating, insulating and weatherproofing agent for switch contacts and ignition systems.

Which irons does butane soldering gas fit?

It fills portable gas soldering irons. The Kontakt Chemie 701.225UK has a universal valve for filling all kinds of gas soldering irons. It is pure liquid butane gas in a compact 200ml spray can, with a high heating value, and it leaves no residue.
