Ballistol..what is it and what are its uses.

BALLISTOL

Universal and environment-friendly


Since 1905 Ballistol, the first alkaline weapon-oil, has found many enthusiastic usersnot only in the field of gun maintenance but also in handicraft, industry, home andhobby, where it has become an indispensable helper.
As a high-quality special oil Ballistol combines multiple functions, like cleaning, rust protection, lubrication and disinfection. Moreover, Ballistol is absolutely free from resins and acids. This is why its reputation has become so legendary on all five continents. No other oil comes even close to the multi-functionality of Ballistol.
Applied on metallic surfaces (e.g. iron, steel, nickel and chromium), Ballistol does two jobs simultaneously - cleaning and conserving. Due to its alkaline qualities it reduces the oxygen carriers which are responsible for the oxidation (= rust) of metals and thus protects against corrosion. On top of that it neutralizes feeble acids and is able to creep into hairline cracks and remote corners because the oil has a very low surface tension. Ballistol is made of valuable substances with pharmaceutical purity - its production is regulated by extremely strict hygienic rules. All effective substances in Ballistol are purely natural products and appear in other natural compounds that are totally decomposable in the circular course of nature. The non-volatile components of Ballistol-Oil and Ballistol-Spray fully comply with the legislation and regulations on allowed substances in food. Therefore Ballistol can also be used to maintain machinery in food and drink processing plants where the machines get in contact wittL nourishment. Even an accidental intake of Ballistol is absolutely harmless.

Ballistol and the care of weapons
Pull a tow saturated with Ballistol or a felt stop through the barrel and cartridge feed. Depending on how much residue there is, this procedure may have to be repeated several times. Drip some Ballistol on single parts and the magazine (alternatively use Ballistol-Spray) and then dab the parts with a fluff-free piece of cloth. Intensive metal smearing means that Ballistol has to be used amply. Finally pull a dry tow or felt stop from the cartridge feed towards the muzzle. If you plan not to use the gun for a longer period of time, leave it slightly wet with Ballistol. But do not forget to do the drying as described above before the next shot. The external parts of the gun must be wiped very gently with Ballistol, do not apply much pressure, otherwise the browning might be mechanically damaged by the cloth used. Ballistol maintains and protects your gun, keeps the mechanical parts well-functioning and removes metal residue in the barrel. A thick layer of Ballistol will - after a while - turn into white Vaseline-like film thus protecting the gun against corrosion and keeping movable parts movable. This protective layer has got nothing to do with resinification! Acid combustion residue will be automatically neutralized and made harmless. Only an alkaline oil like Ballistol is capable of doing such an outstanding job.
Ballistol and fishing
Maintains hooks, fly hooks, bait needles, spring-steel wire, and cast leaders. Ballistol keeps your reels running smoothly.


Ballistol in handicraft and industry
For the maintenance of chrome parts in cars, for loosening seized screws, against unwieldy locks and screeching hinges. Keeps plastic and oil-resistant gum and rubber in good shape. In winter it prevents locks from freezing. Neutralizes battery acids that might have leaked and neutralizes hand sweat. In fine mechanics for the protection of polished metal surfaces, for maintaining sensitive scales, precision tools, fine- mechanical parts and last not least for all kinds of measuring and diagnostic instruments. In beverage-producing plants highly appreciated for the maintenance of filling machines, for instance in breweries or fresh milk filling and packing plants. At butchers' for meat-processing and cutting devices. In machine factories for storing and maintaining high-end quality machinery.


Ballistol for home and gardening
Against unwieldy locks, screeching hinges, for maintaining gardening tools, like tor instance lawn-mowers, scissors, hose reels and carrying carts, etc. For bicycles, mopeds, sewing-machines, typewriters. Ballistol is ideal for the upkeep of doon cupboards and chairs: natural wood will be regenerated, stains (from water) removed, the wood will get back its original silky gloss. Brittle, inflexible and hard leather will be soft and elastic again, Ballistol will protect it against water and decay and will provide smooth leather a soft and silky gloss. Ideal for boots, saddles, head-gears and belts. Chamois leather may also be treated with Ballistol, but mind that this kind of leather then loses its original rough surface.
Keep Ballistol products in their original packages and see to it that the bottles are not left open. Then Ballistol has got no expiry date and does not resinify, even after several decades of storage. Do not fill Ballistol in any economical oilers which contain brass parts. Ballistol would become sort of greenish and jelly-like in those oilers. Instead we recommend Ballistol drip-oiler. For spraying Ballistol on bigger surfaces we offer Ballistol hand sprayer. Both products are available at your special retailer or directly from us.
Ballistol is available in 50ml drip-bottles, in a 500ml can, and in a 5-liter canister as well as in larger units for industrial purposes. Furthermore, we offer Ballistol in a 50ml, 100ml or even a 200ml spray can, with the practical additional spray pipe. It goes without saying that all sprays are free from so-called CFC's, chlorinated hydrocarbons and other environment damaging components.
