SINCE 1904, BALLISTOL HAS DEFEATED RUST, GUN JAMMING AND HUNDREDS OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERS WHO’VE TRIED TO IMPROVE IT. For over 100 years, Ballistol has been the world’s most useful and environmentally friendly lubricant. People all over the world trust Ballistol to lubricate, penetrate, clean, protect, and preserve their firearms, leather gear, wood, metal and plastic surfaces and more. With a mind-
boggling range of applications, this environmentally friendly multi-purpose oil has become a must-have tool for shooters, hunters, fishermen, and handymen all over the world. OUR MISSION: DEVELOP AN OIL THAT CAN BE USED ON EVERYTHING. At the turn of the 20th century, the German Imperial Army contracted Friedrich Klever and his son Dr. Helmut Klever, a professor of chemistry at the Technical University of Karlsruhe, to create a unique, multipurpose oil. This new oil had to clean, lubricate and protect:
• The metallic parts of guns and rifles
• The wooden stocks of guns and rifles
• Soldiers’ leather gear. In 1904, Dr. Helmut Klever succeeded in producing the special compound, which he named “Ballistol” (from the words “ballistic” and “oleum”, the Latin word for “oil”). This new “ballistic oil” performed even better than anyone hoped. In 1905, the Imperial Army tested and adopted Ballistol as an essential tool for German soldiers and remained a German “secret weapon” until 1945 when WWII ended. Within a decade word spread about the miracle oil and hunters, boaters, hikers, and outdoorsmen in Germany, Austria and Switzerland were using Ballistol. Today, Ballistol is used by those in the know all over the world. And speaking of the world, Ballistol is 100% environmentally friendly. And unlike some other oils that clean, lubricate and protect, it’s non-carcinogenic and won’t irritate your skin. Whether you need to clean a firearm, prevent rust, rejuvenate leather, waterproof boots, loosen a rusty bolt, fix a squeaky hinge…try Ballistol.
