Ballistol Multi-Purpose Oil, Aerosol, 6 oz

Ballistol, a multi-purpose oil, was developed for the German Army, who requested a product that could lubricate, clean, protect, and preserve firearms, gun stocks, and leather gear. This versatile oil is unparalleled in its ability to clean firearms, minimizing the need for extensive brushing and scraping of barrels and chambers. It forms a protective film on metal surfaces and can creep into the finest cracks and fissures, making it an excellent "penetrant" that can help loosen frozen nuts and bolts. Remarkably, Ballistol can even protect wet surfaces.

Unlike most lubricants, Ballistol emulsifies with water, and when the water evaporates, the oil remains to protect the metal, plastic, wood, or leather. This unique property ensures that Ballistol keeps all smooth leathers soft and moisturized, although it should not be used on suede. Moreover, Ballistol is non-toxic and biodegradable, with no harmful by-products produced during its use, disposal, or decomposition, making it environmentally friendly.

Ballistol's versatility is further demonstrated by its use in various industries. Coca-Cola and many of Germany's famous breweries utilize Ballistol, as does Bizerba, one of the largest precision scale manufacturers, who specify Ballistol because it never becomes sticky or increases friction over time. Additionally, Ballistol is an excellent polish for silver and brass.

Human sweat and skin oils are slightly acidic, and their effect is similar to the etching process. Ballistol, being slightly alkaline in nature, neutralizes this effect, providing added protection for the surfaces it is applied to.

Of course, Ballistol is perfect for a wide range of household chores that any normal oil can perform. However, why settle for a "normal" oil when you can have a single product that can do so much more?

The product's country of origin is the United States, and its package dimensions are as follows: height of 6.75 inches, length of 2.25 inches, and width of 2.25 inches. The package contains a 6-ounce aerosol can, making it the perfect solution for lubricating and protecting firearms and a multitude of other applications, while also preserving and protecting metal, wood, leather, and plastics in a biodegradable and environmentally-friendly manner.
