Electrical Contact Cleaner

Kappa Sigma Corporation offers Kli-Nit brand Electrical Contact Cleaner, CT-2 (oil free). Electrical contacts play a crucial role in electrical circuits, as they make and break the flow of current in circuits. An ideal electrical contact offers infinite resistance when open and zero when closed. Actually, a contact does have a finite resistance when closed; this resistance has a heating effect due to so-called "I-squared-R" losses. If not maintained properly, the contacts will offer high resistance and may even burn up due to overheating. Electrical cleaners are used to remove contaminants that could provide a path for tracking or arcing, and to remove grime that would cause overheating. These cleaners can also be used to advantage to clean stripped wires before joining terminals and so forth. Kli-Nit CT-2 cleaner is used to clean the cables of all greases, oily stains, insulation burrs and foreign particles. Kli-nit CT-2 evaporates within 20 seconds, making the joint ready for casting. The easy-to-use aerosol is especially useful in ducts and manholes, where there is limited space. CT-2 cleans faulty electrical contacts in relays, thermostats, pyrometers, motor starters, contactors, drum controllers, spark plugs, points, battery terminals, radio, TVs, switches, etc. Kli-Nit is a pioneering brand in the field of maintenance chemicals since more than three decades. It is accepted by a wide range of users including electricity boards, thermal and nuclear power plants, air force bases, computer maintenance centres, etc., a brand trusted by thousands of engineers.
