Stabilant 22S Electrical Contact Enhancer Concentrate – 50 mL Mixing Bottle

Prepare a convenient diluted supply of Stabilant electrical contact enhancer with Stabilant 22S. This package provides Stabilant 22 concentrate in a 50 mL bottle with room to add a suitable high-purity alcohol carrier, allowing the mixture to be prepared directly in the supplied bottle.

Stabilant is an electrically active contact enhancer designed to improve the reliability of electrical and electromechanical connections. Diluting the concentrate reduces its viscosity, making it easier for the active material to reach recessed connectors, sockets, switches, card-edge contacts, and other difficult-to-access contact surfaces.

Specifications

Designed for Convenient Dilution

Stabilant 22S provides the active Stabilant concentrate in a bottle large enough to prepare a diluted solution.

Diluting Stabilant with a suitable high-purity alcohol reduces its viscosity and allows it to flow more readily into recessed contacts and other areas where applying the thicker concentrate directly would be difficult.

The alcohol serves primarily as a carrier. After application, the alcohol evaporates and leaves the active Stabilant material at the contact interface.

Electrical Contact Enhancer

Stabilant is designed specifically to improve the reliability of electrical contacts.

When used as a thin film between mating contacts, the material remains normally non-conductive while providing enhanced conductivity within the microscopic areas where electrical contact is made.

This makes it particularly useful for closely spaced electrical contacts where reliable signal transfer is important.

Contact Enhancer, Not Simply a Cleaner

Although Stabilant has some detergent and lubricating properties, its primary function is as an electrical contact enhancer.

Unlike a conventional contact cleaner that is intended primarily to remove contamination and evaporate, the active Stabilant material is designed to remain within the contact interface after application.

This makes it useful for both troubleshooting intermittent connections and preventative maintenance.

Useful for Recessed Contacts

Diluted Stabilant is particularly useful where direct application of the concentrate would be difficult.

Typical applications include:

• Card-edge connectors

• Multi-pin connectors

• D-type connectors

• Socketed components

• Plug-in circuit boards

• Signal switches

• Equipment connectors

• Computer connections

• Instrument connections

• Camera and projector electronics

• Automotive electrical connectors

• Vintage electronic equipment

Concentrate vs. Diluted Application

Stabilant concentrate can be used directly when the contact surfaces are easily accessible.

Dilution is useful when lower viscosity is needed to carry the material into sockets, recessed connectors, and assembled electrical components.

After the carrier evaporates, it is the Stabilant concentrate remaining at the contact surfaces that performs the contact-enhancing function.

Apply Sparingly

Only a thin film of Stabilant is required within the mating contact surfaces.

Applying excessive material does not improve performance. The objective is to place enough active material within the microscopic gaps at the contact interface.

When using the diluted formulation, remember that the alcohol carrier evaporates after application while the active Stabilant remains behind.

Stabilant 22S vs. Stabilant 22A

Stabilant 22S is supplied as concentrate in a larger mixing bottle so the user can add an appropriate alcohol carrier.

Stabilant 22A is supplied already diluted with isopropyl alcohol and ready to apply.

22S is a practical choice when you want to prepare a larger quantity of diluted Stabilant yourself, while 22A provides the convenience of a factory-prepared diluted formulation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Stabilant 22S?
Stabilant 22S is Stabilant electrical contact enhancer concentrate supplied in a larger bottle designed to allow dilution with an appropriate alcohol carrier.

Does the bottle contain 50 mL of Stabilant concentrate?
No. The 50 mL refers to the mixing bottle capacity, not 50 mL of undiluted Stabilant concentrate.

Why is the bottle larger than the amount of concentrate?
The additional space allows an appropriate alcohol carrier to be added directly to the bottle to prepare a lower-viscosity mixture.

What can be used to dilute Stabilant 22S?
High-purity isopropyl alcohol or ethyl alcohol can be used as a carrier for Stabilant.

Why dilute Stabilant?
Dilution lowers the viscosity so the material can more easily reach recessed connectors, sockets, and other difficult-to-access electrical contacts.

Does the alcohol do the contact enhancing?
No. The alcohol acts as a carrier. It evaporates after application, leaving the active Stabilant material behind.

Is Stabilant 22S a contact cleaner?
Its primary purpose is not conventional contact cleaning. Stabilant is an electrical contact enhancer designed to improve connection reliability.

Can Stabilant 22S be used on card-edge connectors?
Yes. Card-edge connectors are one of the applications for Stabilant.

Can it be used on socketed components?
Yes. Dilution is particularly useful for carrying Stabilant into sockets and other recessed contacts.

What is the difference between Stabilant 22S and 22A?
22S is supplied for user dilution, while 22A is already diluted with isopropyl alcohol and ready to apply.

How much should I apply?
Only a thin film is needed within the electrical contact area. Excessive application is unnecessary.

Where is Stabilant 22S made?
It is made in Canada.
