DeoxIT Fader F-Series is a precision lubricant and treatment for conductive plastics used in 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. Over time these conductive plastic components lose their original lubrication from wear and/or repeated cleaning. Dust, dirt, drink spills and other contamination also degrade the components lubricant. The need for re-lubrication is necessary to avoid excess wear and abrasion to the plastic surfaces. Another use for DeoxIT Fader is on conductive membrane switches and components. Oil, grease and acids build up on the membrane surfaces due to repeated finger contact and can lead to device malfunction. Applying DeoxIT Fader will provide a long-lasting barrier against these types of contamination. The oil, grease and acids will be displaced above the DeoxIT Fader layer preventing contact with the plastic membrane.
