Hosa DeoxIT FaderLube 5% Spray 5 oz — conductive-plastic fader cleaner & light lubricant for smoother, noise-free audio controls

Hosa F5S-H6 CAIG DeoxIT FaderLube is a 5% spray solution formulated to clean, lubricate, and stabilize conductive plastic and carbon-contact faders, switches, and connectors for smoother operation and reduced noise.

Designed for audio gear and electronic controls, this 5 oz aerosol from Hosa combines CAIG’s DeoxIT chemistry with a light lubricant to treat conductive plastics and carbon-compound surfaces without leaving heavy residues. It’s intended as a maintenance spray to restore tactile response, cut down on static and crackle, and extend the life of moving contacts in mixers, faders, potentiometers, and playback equipment.

How does this spray improve my mixing board or fader performance?

The DeoxIT formula cleans oxidation and contaminants from conductive plastic and carbon surfaces while depositing a thin lubricant that restores smooth movement. Treated controls feel more responsive and consistent, which helps when making precise level adjustments during sessions.

• Breaks down oxidation and grime on conductive plastics
• Leaves a light lubricating film for smoother travel
• Reduces scratchy or intermittent audio caused by dirty contacts

Is it safe to use on my carbon-compound controls and connectors?

Yes — this specific 5% DeoxIT FaderLube is formulated for conductive plastic and carbon contacts that are common in audio faders and some potentiometers. It avoids heavy residues that can gum up fine mechanisms while still providing protection and cleaning action.

• Suitable for conductive plastic and carbon-based controls
• Low-residue formula to prevent buildup inside mechanisms
• Non-destructive to typical fader materials when used as directed

How should I apply the 5 oz spray for best results?

Apply sparingly and allow the spray to work into the contact surfaces before moving the control repeatedly to distribute the lubricant. Use short bursts and wipe excess if needed; test on an inconspicuous area when in doubt to confirm compatibility with your gear.

• Power down equipment before applying
• Use short sprays into fader tracks or switch housings, then move control back and forth
• Wipe excess and let dry briefly before powering up

What troubleshooting benefits will I see after treatment?

After cleaning and lubricating, you should notice fewer audio artifacts like crackles and intermittent contact, plus a steadier control feel that helps avoid sudden level jumps. Regular maintenance prolongs contact life and reduces the need for replacements.

• Reduced static and crackling in affected channels
• Smoother travel and improved tactile feedback on faders and knobs
• Less frequent servicing or contact replacement over time

Who is this product for? Musicians, audio engineers, studio technicians, and live-sound operators who maintain mixers, DJ gear, and audio consoles will find Hosa F5S-H6 CAIG DeoxIT FaderLube useful for routine upkeep. It’s aimed at anyone needing a reliable, low-residue cleaner/lubricant for conductive plastic and carbon contacts — especially when consistent control feel and quiet operation are important. Always follow manufacturer guidance for your specific equipment and test compatibility on a small area if unsure.
