Ballistol and Metal
Ballistol is widely used in the precision gauge and tool industry and in the production of scales and other precision instruments. Ballistol forms a protective film on the surface of metals. Due to its low superficial tension, it is capable of creeping into the finest cracks and fissures in metal surfaces. Ballistol does not resinify. Most other technical oils harden with time. Ballistol, however, contains a combination of anti-oxidants and medical oils, which make it less susceptible to aging.

Ballistol and Leather
Ballistol effectively protects leather against damage by water, insects and fungi. If the leather has been properly processed, Ballistol will form permanent chemical compounds within the leather which will actually make it impermeable to water. It neutralizes residues of tannic acid in leather.

Ballistol and Wood
Ballistol protects, preserves and rejuvenates all natural wood surfaces. It enhances the woodgrain and protects against humidity and insect damage. It´s ideal for antique furniture!

Ballistol is made from natural substances.

When you buy a sword a sample of Ballistol (50 mL) and two Scotch-Brite pads are included as a "Maintenance kit".
