MILITEC-1® is ideal for firearms that are exposed to harsh weather conditions. After proper application, a light coat of MILITEC-1® is highly corrosion resistant - approximately three times more effective in preventing rust than Mil-Spec lubricants. This will cut down on damage caused by damp weather, and makes MILITEC-1® especially useful for firearms carried on motorcycles, bicycles or boats.
A MILITEC-1® treated firearm can be wiped completely clean and dry and will still retain adequate lubrication. That’s right - no liquid lubricant, but still completely lubricated. This is because MILITEC-1® is in the metal, not just on the surface, so the liquid component is unnecessary. This unique self-lubricating effect was used to great advantage in Desert Storm, Afghanistan, Kuwait and Iraq. Clean, dry MILITEC-1® treated weapons continued to fire even in blowing dust and sand, since there was no liquid for the dust particles to adhere to and gum up the works. This same effect is useful in extremely cold conditions where there is no liquid to congeal and slow down or freeze the action.
