There seems to be almost nothing on the web about what the Caig stuff
actually is. Materials safety data sheet lists ingredients as 'trade secret'
Reasonable discussion of the Stabilant stuff in patent #4696832
In my quest for more reliable repairs I have been using Dow Corning
#4 Electrical Insultating Compound for a number of years on all our
high current (>1A) plugs and sockets. I find that it reduces or
eliminates corrosion, plus it also reduces contact resistance and a
connector that was warm to the touch is now cool.
Not very expensive either...
