In the undiluted form, Stabilant 22 is non-flammable, however if its temperature is raised above 200' C the decomposition products will burn. If small amounts are accidentally orally ingested it will cause bowel looseness. Stabilant 22 has an LD50 of about 5 grams per kilogram body weight. Some end users prefer to buy larger quantities and use industrial syrettes to apply the material onto connections. Camel's hair or sable brushes can be used to brush it on card-edge connectors.
Cards can also have their edge connectors dipped into the dilute material.
In treating 'finger-stock' electronic seals, the concentrate, Stabilant 22 may be wiped on just as if the technician were using a protective oil. Stabilants have been in some field trial applications for over fifteen years now without showing any sign of reduced effectiveness. The material has a high molecular weight and a very low vapor pressure, thus it is not prone to evaporation. World-wide patents pending.
