General Lubrication
BALLISTOL can be used to lubricate practically anything on
and around cars, boats, motorcycles etc.. If it squeaks, if
it binds - BALLISTOL it! Since BALLISTOL is non-toxic and
does not contain any carcinogenic substances, it is safe for
use inside a car or boat in areas where people might touch
it. Since it becomes practically odorless approximately 20
minutes after application, its smell will not be a nuisance
to people traveling in a vehicle.
You can lubricate practically any material with BALLISTOL.
BALLISTOL can be used on all metals and all plastics.
Zippers on convertibles (Jeep etc.), door hinges, locks,
antennas, switches, threads on lugs and nuts, adjustable
seals, sliding car windows etc. can be lubricated with
BALLISTOL.
Cleaning and Maintenance BALLISTOL works well on leather and
wood. It prevents leather from becoming brittle and protects
it against humidity. Between 2 and 6 fl. oz. of BALLISTOL
mixed with an average size bucket of cold water can be used
as car polish. Apply the mixture with a clean sponge, wipe
dry with a soft cotton cloth and enjoy the new shine of your
car's old paint.
Treat you plastic dash board with BALLISTOL. Unlike other
products BALLISTOL
will not make your dash board crack.
Wooden appliances in luxury cars or RVs or vinyl seat covers
can be maintained and cleaned with BALLISTOL. Apply in pure
form to wood and use 1 part BALLISTOL with 10 parts water on
vinyl (one quart of BALLISTOL with 2.5 gallons of water).
BALLISTOL removes tar and insect stains and protects, cleans
and shines chrome plated parts.
Wire pulls can be maintained and kept in smooth operating
condition with BALLISTOL. Apply to steel wire. BALLISTOL
will creep along the wires. Since BALLISTOL will never gum
up, it will not become a problem in your wire pulls later.
Gearshifts, throttle cables, break and clutch cables on
motorcycles etc. can all be kept up with BALLISTOL.
Cleaning Truck Parts BALLISTOL is used for the cleaning of
truck parts. BALLISTOL will clean truck parts without
completely degreasing them, thus leaving them covered with a
thin film of paraffin which protects them against corrosion.
Depending on the dirtiness of the parts, BALLISTOL can be
recycled 2-4 times by filtering it through a wire filter
with a mesh width of approx. 20-40 micrometres. In the event
that BALLISTOL thickens after a period of repeated use, a
small quantity of Iso-Butanol and/or Benzene can be added to
restore its previous viscosity.
Warning: BALLISTOL is no longer strictly non-toxic when
Benzene has been
added to it.
Changing Tires in Tire Shop BALLISTOL is compatible with
rubber as used in car tires. In the process of putting new
tires on a rim BALLISTOL can be used to lubricate the tires
and to lubricate and clean the rims as well as to lubricate
the tools and machines used in the process. BALLISTOL's high
and long lasting lubricity in combination with its multiple
uses make it not only the one and only substance needed in
the tire shop, but the use of BALLISTOL will also speed up
the process of changing tires considerably thus making the
operation more cost effective.
Protecting Door Locks against Freezing BALLISTOL will
protect door locks against freezing during the cold season.
It can also be used to defrost door locks that are already
frozen.
Top Engine Oil BALLISTOL has been highly recommended and
used for decades as
a top oil for combustion engines.
Winterization of Motors Whenever an engine is exposed to a
change from a
higher to lower temperature, which, if for no other reason,
occurs when a motor cools down from its operating
temperature to environmental temperature, condensation water
forms inside a motor. This condensation water dissolves the
acidic residues from fuel combustion inside the motor,
forming acids. It is these acids which destroy a motor
faster than any use. In order to neutralize them an oil must
meet two requirements: it must be alkaline and it must be
emulsifiable with water. BALLISTOL meets both requirements.
When winterizing any motor, remove the spark plugs, fill
approximately 1-2 fluid ounces of BALLISTOL into the
openings and tap with a clean piece of BALLISTOL soaked
cotton cloth (do not use plastic fibre). BALLISTOL will keep
your motor clean as a whistle. When you re-start the motor,
the BALLISTOL contained in the cylinders will burn away with
residues producing white exhaust fumes for a short period of
time.
Acidic and Galvanic Corrosion Normal corrosion is oxidation.
Normal corrosion inhibitors protect only against oxidation.
Most do it by covering up the surface to which they are
applied acting like a paint or coating. That works fine, as
long as lubrication is not also needed on the same part.
BALLISTOL has been engineered to provide an optional
combination of lubrication and corrosion protection. This is
why BALLISTOL fights corrosion in a way which is not hostile
to lubrication. BALLISTOL inhibits corrosion in a chemical
way, not mechanically. Its alkalinity protects not only
against oxidation but also against acidic corrosion,
galvanic corrosion and salt water corrosion, which is a mix
of all of the above.
Battery fluid is a very corrosive agent. If it spills it can
damage contacts, cables and other exposed metallic parts.
Even its vapours can corrode electric connections located
near a battery. BALLISTOL can neutralize acid spills
chemically and protect contacts and cables.
Electrical Contacts BALLISTOL is safe for use in electrical
networks. Its electrical conductivity of only 0.05 Micro-
Siemens/cm, make it practically an insulator for most
electrical applications up to approx. 5,000 Volts. BALLISTOL
dissolves traces of copper and brass and their oxidation
products and is therefore excellent for the maintenance of
electrical contacts, switches, relays or breakers especially
in areas where lubrication might be required, too.
Warning: Do not apply BALLISTOL to electrical installations,
when the BALLISTOL is emulsified with water or when the
electrical installations are wet.
Motorcycles BALLISTOL can be used on motorcycles just like
on cars. In addition BALLISTOL can serve as a chain lube and
for the maintenance and preservation of saddle bags, boots
and motorcycle clothing. It will prevent the leather from
becoming hard and brittle and it will make it practically
water impermeable. BALLISTOL can be applied to leather while
it is still wet. It will impede the development of fungus
and mildew in the leather. Brass accessories on motorcycles
can be cleaned and polished with BALLISTOL. BALLISTOL also
cleans and shines chrome and stainless steel and it cleans
aluminium, but will not make it shiny.
Warning: Do not spray BALLISTOL on brakes and brake
discs. It will reduce
friction significantly and with it the effectiveness of the
brakes!
Diesel Fuel Due to new US regulations Diesel fuel now
contains less sulphur. The decrease in sulphur content has
greatly decreased the lubricity of Diesel fuel. However,
Diesel motors and Diesel pumps are engineered to use the
lubricity of the Diesel fuel for their own lubrication. Less
lubricity in Diesel fuel means more wear and tear in Diesel
motors and Diesel pumps. This means higher cost for trucking
companies. If only approx. 1% of BALLISTOL is added to the
Diesel fuel (one quart per 25 gallons or 1 gallon per 100
gallons of Diesel fuel), the fuel regains up to 80% of its
previous lubricity without adding more sulphur. To add a
gallon of BALLISTOL to every 100 gallons Diesel fuel will
cost fleet owners more - but much less than short lived
Diesel engines and pumps.
