Any idea what the anti static additive is in the Knosti fluid?
if you really want to know JD was close. Basically an antistatic agent usually consists of no more than a detergent capable of carrying and dissipating an electric charge, usually phosphate esters They work in two ways:- i) they attract moisture from the atmosphere and/or they conduct the charge away themselves. Never,Never use the likes of Fairy liquid they contain salt in order to thicken them. Note water/isopropanol is not a long term antistat, it functions as a cleaning agent with good surface wetting which means the disc will be cleaned and the charge discharged to the cleaning cloth.
...so if Fairy is a no-no, any ideas what would be a good one?
