Yes, not only is it being used by a number of police forces in servicing their communications equipment it is being used by industry as well. Stabilants have very low oral toxicity. Under normal workplace conditions no skin sensitization effects have been noted. And Stabilants are environmentally friendly materials. Thousands of applications of the consumer version of Stabilant 22 have been made over a period of several years now without any reported problems.
Some end users prefer to use industrial syrettes to apply the material.
Camel's hair brushes can be used to brush it on card-edge connectors or they could be dipped into the dilute material. Most metering type liquid dispensing systems can be used as well. In some field trial applications lasting over fifteen years Stabilant 22 has shown no sign of reduced effectiveness. With a high molecular weight and a very low vapor pressure, little is lost by evaporation. Unlike some other contact protection oils, Stabilant 22 will not cross-link when exposed to free machining materials such as high sulfur brass, or when used on contacts where agents used to promote cross linking of thermosets or elastomers are present in the environment or in the actual connector components.
