There seems to be almost nothing on the web about what the Caig stuff
actually is. Materials safety data sheet lists ingredients as 'trade

Reasonable discussion of the Stabilant stuff in patent #4696832
I've used it for years on PDP-8/x, PDP-11/xx, Lisa, etc. systems I've restored
with excellent results. I wouldn't think of restoring a system that had
plugable modules without it... IIRC, I first found out about it from space

reliable computer module/board contacts.
