Ballistol was developed for the German Army who requested an oil that would lubricate, clean, protect and preserve firearms and gun stocks as well as preserve leather gear. It is unmatched for cleaning firearms and minimizes the need for brushing and scraping barrels and chambers. It forms a protective film on the surface of metals and is capable of creeping into the finest cracks and fissures making Ballistol and excellent “penetrant” to help loosen frozen nuts and bolts. It will even protect wet surfaces. Unlike most lubricants, Ballistol emulsifies with water; when the water evaporates, Ballistol stays behind to protect the metal, plastic, wood or leather.

Ballistol will keep all smooth leathers soft and moisturized (do not use on suede). It is also non-toxic and biodegradable; neither its use, disposal or decomposition will produce any by-products that are harmful to the environment. Coca Cola and many of Germany’s famous breweries use Ballistol as does Bizerba, one of the largest precision scale manufacturers, who specifies Ballistol because it never gets sticky or increases friction over time. It’s also a great silver and brass polish. Human sweat and skin oils are slightly acidic; their effect is similar to the etching process. Ballistol is slightly alkaline and neutralizes this effect. Of course Ballistol is also perfect for all the household chores any normal oil will do, but why settle for a “normal” oil when you can have one product that does so much more.

Ballistol cleans and removes all types of bore fouling. Cleaning with Ballistol will save you time, minimize the need for brushing, and also form a protective film on your firearm. Due to its slight alkalinity, Ballistol neutralizes and dissolves black powder and corrosive ammo residue. In addition, Ballistol will beautify gun stocks, and prevent them from drying out. As a lubricant, Ballistol will never gum up or harden. With Ballistol, your entire firearm will stay lubricated and protected.

Ballistol is fully compatible with all metals including aluminum. However, Ballistol dissolves traces of copper, zinc, lead and tombac and can, therefore, be used to clean brass, bronze and silver. Read more about Ballistol for metal care.

Ballistol is an excellent smokeless powder cleaning solvent. It will “melt” carbon deposits in the barrel and chamber.

Most corrosion inhibiting lubricants can only protect against normal oxidation. They do so by covering up the surface, which they are supposed to protect, and prevent contact with water and air. Due to its alkalinity Ballistol can also protect against galvanic corrosion, acidic corrosion, and salt water corrosion.

Due to the anti-oxidants contained in it, Ballistol will never harden or gum up, and retains its lubricity over extended periods of exposure. Read more about Ballistol’s longevity.

Gun Stocks

Using Ballistol to maintain wooden gun stocks is particularly recommendable in climates with frequent rain and/or high relative humidity. Wood absorbs water and swells as a consequence. This may mean your stocks become bigger, wider and longer as they absorb more and more water. Before long they will no longer fit your gun or even crack. Ballistol will also prevent wood from drying out in hot arid climates.

Ballistol will not damage wood stocks; conversely, Ballistol seals and protects wooden stocks of firearms. In fact, Ballistol brings out the grain and luster of old wood. Read more about Ballistol’s uses on wood.

Ballistol is also safe to use on composite polycarbonate stocks.

Black Powder Solvent

Due to its alkaline character, Ballistol is ideal for cleaning and maintaining black powder firearms. The residues from black powder in chambers and bores are acidic. Ballistol neutralizes and dissolves them. This eliminates the need for aggressive solvents.

Since Ballistol emulsifies with water, mix one part Ballistol and two parts water to make one of the best black powder solvents available.

Corrosive Ammo

Again, due to its alkalinity, Ballistol neutralizes corrosive ammo residue. Ballistol can be used straight or as an emulsification to neutralize potassium salts left by corrosive ammo. Use 10% Ballistol to 90% water for an initial flush. Continue regular cleaning with straight Ballistol.

Pro-Shot “Silicone Cloth” is made of double napped 100% cotton flannel, and it is double treated with pure silicone. It helps to remove fingerprints, as well as potentially corrosive epidermal oils. Pro-Shot’s “Silicon Cloth” both polishes and cleans, and it has quickly become a shooter’s favorite! Packaged in a resealable poly bag for keeping silicone cloth clean and moist after use.

Use Zerust^®/Excor Vapor Capsules to protect multiple metal types from corrosion in almost any enclosure or sealed packaging. Zerust diffusers emit Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors (VCI) that prevent oxidation of the metal surface that causes rust. They provide targeted corrosion protection in hard to reach spaces and additional protection to metals in Zerust VCI packaging applications.

Zerust capsules are quick and easy to install. Simply peel back the protective paper from the adhesive tape and install securely in desired location. Tightly seal the enclosure to trap protective vapor inside. Metals will be protected from rust and tarnish for up to one or two years depending on the capsule model and environment.

The ZCORR Bluguard VCI Vacuum Pistol Bag was designed to protect most small arms from corrosion and general contamination. The vacuum valve and 100% water proof and airtight zipper closure allow this bag to maintain its enhanced preservation qualities for extended periods of time in multitudes of environments. Depending on a firearm’s overall height, optics may remain mounted and are unaffected by VpCI molecules, extra clips can also be stored with the firearm. As always, optics should be stored with caps on. The Universal Pistol Bags are the most convenient storage and preservation solution for smaller firearms ranging from a small .380 to the larger 1911. Vacuum Series firearm storage bags are ideal for firearms that are subjected to changing climates, harsh climates, or for those who want the industry’s most Fail-Safe protection.

Depending on use, firearms can be stored rust free for 5+ years.

To use a Vacuum Series firearm bag effectively:

1. Clean your firearm as recommended by the manufacturer and slide it into the bag.

2. Press the heavy duty zipper closure shut.

3. Place any house hold vacuum hose over the one way valve and remove air.

To remove the firearm simply:

1. Open the zipper closure and remove your firearm.

2. VCI technology leaves be hind no residues so firearms are ready to be used right out of the bag… unlike messy oils & greases. We advise against placing firearms inside gun socks before placing them in ZCORR Bluguard VCI Collector Series Storage Bags as they may inhibit the effectiveness of the VCI chemistry.

ZCORR Vacuum bags are now even stronger due to an added reinforcing layer which further reduces the threat of tears or punctures. The ZCORR Vacuum Shotgun/Rifle Bag was designed to protect rifles and shotguns that may have large clips or optics installed on them from corrosion and general contamination. Depending on a firearm’s overall height, optics may remain mounted and are unaffected by VCI molecules. As always, optics should be stored with caps on.
