I was reading a how to clean heads from VCR according to a technician with years in the field and seem very confident... he recommended to use this fluid to clean the rubber pinch roller on the VCR that will both clean and recondition the thing. However I got all that he asked... except this... which can no be found. Before you ask me if I try ebay or reselleratings or around google I say you should see that I empty all posibilities.
Anyway the site is...:

-some people say on this page (DAT "talk"):
http://www.tape.com/techinfo/datclean.html
that the pinch roller can be clean with alcohol and not matter if it dries out and die it has to be changed every 1-2 year anyway or every 1500 hours, other say don't use alcohol instead use mild soap water for it...
-On here it says is safe to use alcohol Isopropyl (I can't believe it)

Non-slip fluid
My guess (I'm a chemist when not a video geek) is that this refers to xylene, a solvent commonly used in the preparation of non-slip surfaces. e.g., http://www.protectakote.co.uk/faq.htm
One of the links you provided mentions that you can use xylene (tradename Xylol) to clean the capstan. The capstan is metal and it is okay to use xylene. But you must avoid getting xylene on any of the plastic/rubber parts.
Also, PLEASE be careful when using any of these solvents. Treat them with respect. Xylene is toxic - http://www.ccohs.ca/oshanswers/chemicals/chem_profiles/xylene/working_xyl.htmlJohn Miller -
