Hello, i recently started using this head cleaner on my multitrack decks and i havent noticed anything but one of my decks seems to be having dropouts and im not sure its related to the cleaner but it got me thinking. What are your opinions on this head cleaners ingredients? The bottle lists its ingredients as follows

PROPAN-2-OL
ISOHEXANE
N-HEXANE


Im aware the first one listed is regular isopropyl alcohol but im not aware of the other 2 and i would like to know if they are safe on cassette and reel to reel heads

The cleaner
 
Isohexane and hexane are relatively fast drying hydrocarbons, They are fairly weak solvents and shouldn't hurt anything on an audio head.

On the other hand, it seems pretty pricey for head cleaner. A good 99% alcohol always worked for me, and is a lot cheaper.
 
I thought you were asking if they were safe for you. The first one was all used ( 99% Alcohol ) the next are expensive and don't do anything really that Alcohol doesn't do.
