BALLISTOL MICROFIBRE PATCH 21MM 150PCS
The Ballistol Microfibre Patch 21mm 150PCS has a Higher efficiency (compared to cotton). Optimized microfiber that holds oil and dirt equally with high absorbency combined with high strength. The microfiber patches were specially developed for barrel cleaning. Unlike highly absorbent material, the microfibers emit moisture almost completely during application. The cleaning effect of the Ballistol Microfiber Patch 21mm, as with all microfiber cloths, is clearly superior to the cleaning effect of natural fibers. Excellent for checking the cleaning result after cleaning with running cleaning felts.
For routine cleaning done regularly, about five patches are used if the air rifle barrel is not too fouled up. You’ll notice when the patches come out clean. This means this 150PCS patches can last you quite a few cleans. We highly recommend cleaning your air rifle barrel after every 2000 shots when using pellets. Likewise, after every 200 shots when using slugs.
It is not uncommon for regular jumping between ammo brands and sizes in the same barrel to cause the build-up that gives accuracy issues. Fouled up barrels can cause rust and accuracy issues, too. Barrel cleaning is routine maintenance and also part of a service or repair.
About Ballistol
Ballistol has been tried and tested, remaining unrivalled since 1904. They still make it today using the original recipe.
Produced in Germany for over four generations and sold worldwide. Originally developed as a weapon oil for the imperial army, it soon became a valued household remedy in many countries. Millions of consumers have experimented with Ballistol and found surprising new applications for it. Including use on humans and animals.
Around the turn of the century, the imperial army was looking for an all-round oil. One that would not only care for and preserve the metal parts of the weapons, but also the wooden stocks and leather items. At the same time, it had to serve as wound oil for injuries, cracks and abrasions.
The name Ballistol survived all the turmoil of history in the last century. In fact, it became a household name for hunters, shooters, anglers and many others – a synonym for a miracle oil. The outstanding feature of Ballistol is its versatility. There are many other protective and lubricating oils on the market. However, none can match the almost unbelievably wide range and compatibility of Ballistol.
With Ballistol you can clean, conserve, protect, care for, impregnate, lubricate and disinfect. It is not only the match for steel and iron machinery and equipment, but also for natural wood and leather (except suede), as well as oil-resistant rubber and plastics.
Ballistol forms a milky-white emulsion in water, similar to the protein and fat in milk. Most universal oils have a neutral pH of 7, while Ballistol is slightly alkaline at pH 8 to 8.5 and therefore has additional valuable properties. It can neutralize weak acids, such as hand perspiration, which otherwise leaves ugly fingerprints on sensitive metal surfaces, even stainless steel.
