CAIG Laboratories offers an extensive array of contact cleaners, lubricants, enhancers, preservatives, and accessories for electronic, electrical and mechanical applications.
CAIG's familiar and trusted DeoxIT® range of high-performance contact cleaners are being used in the field of Audio-Video, Telecommunication, Avionics, Computer Servers, Marine, Photography Equipments and more. CAIG's infamous range of DeoxIT® series of contact cleaners include:
Type of Contact Cleaners
DeoxIT® D-Series
Unique Contact Cleaner, Rejuvenator and Protection
DeoxIT® D-Series contact cleaner dissolves oxides and sulfides that form on metal surfaces. This restores the contact's integrity and leaves a thin microscopic layer that protects the metal.
Special additives improve conductivity and prevent dissolved oxides from re-attaching, keeping them in suspension and allowing them to be easily dispersed by the mechanical action of the contact.
DeoxIT® Gold G-Series
Contact Enhancer, Conditioner & Protector
DeoxIT® Gold G-Series (formerly ProGold), is a unique conditioning solution that improves conductivity and provides long-lasting protection on gold, base metals and other precious metal contacts and connections (gold, silver, rhodium, copper, bronze, nickel, etc.).
DeoxIT® Gold is the only product that actually penetrates plated surfaces, molecularly bonding to the base metals to seal and protect both surfaces.
DeoxIT® Fader F-Series
Moving Contact Lubricant for Conductive Plastic Faders and Controls
DeoxIT® Fader F-Series is a precision lubricant for moving contact surfaces (faders, switches, potentiometers and other mechanisms with sliding surfaces). It replenishes lubrication lost on surfaces that have been cleaned with solvents or other cleaning solutions.
DeoxIT® Shield S-Series
Lubricant & Protectant For Better Metal Electronic Connections & Contacts
Recommended after DeoxIT® D-Series contact cleaner for best protection and NEW metal surfaces, usually in the manufacturing process. It is also ideal where high degrees of pollution (sulfur, salts, acids, etc.) are present. DeoxIT® Shield S-Series should be applied to a clean surface – after using DeoxIT® D-Series or other cleaning methods. For reference, DeoxIT® Shield has 0% cleaning action.
Testimonials
DeoxIT® D-Series is an excellent product for removing oxidation and contamination from dirty switches & controls and reducing intermittent contact problems. We have been using CAIG products with great success for over 40 years.
Corrosion problems on very sensitive connectors have been an annoying problem for us. We have tried many products without success until we tried CAIG’s DeoxIT® D-Series and DeoxIT® Gold. They are the only products that have worked perfectly. We highly recommend them.
We have been using CAIG products since 1980 on our automated teller machines to help ensure reliable performance.
We were having trouble with edge connectors in our manufacturing environment until we tried DeoxIT® Gold Wipes . . . . . . great product.
I have used CAIG products over the last 30 some years. DeoxIT® D5 Contact Cleaner, DeoxIT® F5 Fader, and DeoxIT® Gold Pro Gx3 are all indispensable when servicing older units with dirty or intermittent mechanical switches and controls. DeoxIT® Gold Pro Gx3 is the only solution for cleaning dirty tube pins that I have found and it will not turn to gunk under the high temperature of the vacuum tube pins. For servicing of electronics these products are indispensable. Thanks, CAIG Labs!

We use DeoxIT® Gold Wipes to protect virgin edge connectors, DeoxIT® D-Series contact cleaner to eliminate intermittent problems on primitive tin-to-tin connectors (which tend to vibrate) and will be using DeoxIT® Gold in the field for gold connectors . . . . . excellent products.
