I have a record cleaning machine for my vinyl collection, but I need
to get some more cleaner to use with it. When I bought the machine, it
came with one small bottle of cleaner. I also bought a bottle of
concentrate that I added to a gallon of distilled water. After sitting
around for years, that mixture got kinda funky so I threw it away. It's
time to get something new.
I shopped around for commercial cleaners, but all the ones I found are
priced out of this world.
I did some research on the subject online. I think this is the
solution I want to make:
75 ml distilled
water 25 ml Isopropyl alcohol (make sure
there are no additives, like Lanolin) .5 ml wetting agent (Kodak Photo flow, Triton X-114 or X-100)
... but instead of Triton X-114 or X-100 which are suppose to be nasty things that can cause health problems, I hope to use Triton(tm) XL-80N surfactant from Dow Chemical which is suppose to be safe.
I went to Dow's web page and requested a sample a couple weeks ago. The only thing I received from them was a specification in the form of a .pdf document.
Any thoughts/comments on the subject? Does anyone know I can buy a small quantity of Triton(tm) XL-80N surfactant.
