Where to buy record cleaning fluids

Everybody has their favorites but the bottom line is, despite all the marketing and chest thumping, you're only removing a small amount of dirt/grease/oil from a plastic disc.

It's not rocket science.

IPA (isopropyl alcohol) does not contribute to cleaning and is basically unnecessary in most solutions.

Surfactants are the active chemicals in record cleaning formulas; alcohols are drying agents.

But the odor of alcohol may increase the user's perception that the solution is a more effective cleaner than one without.

Isopropyl alcohol has a very low theoretical Kauri Butanol value and therefore is a poor choice to remove oil and grease from plastic.

It is a drying agent as stated; your tape recorder example is irrelevant.

It's always a good idea to know the subject matter before posting.

Your posts suggest otherwise.

I said the theortical KB value. If you knew anything about chemistry you'd know that only aromatic and aliphatic solvents' KB values can be quanitfied. Esters, glycol ethers, alcohols, ketones, etc. can only be estimated or theorized.

So the bumblebee thing means what?

You're way over your head here.
