PrOlix® Dry Lubricant

Lubricates

PrOlix® is a unique dry lubricant developed with modern technology. It is not affected by extreme temperatures (−80°F to over 460°F) and remains dry to the touch.

PrOlix® may appear thin, but testing has proven it retains the optimum amount of necessary lubricant. It will not wipe off during firing or flash burn. It will not build up, become gummy, or discolor (competing petroleum products often turn yellow or brown). PrOlix® will enhance and protect any metal or finish to which it is applied. The solvent is blue in color but dries clear on a patch.

The PrOlix® protective skin (film) renews itself each time it is used and prevents contaminants from adhering, making follow‑up cleaning easier. Penetration is possible because of its thin formulation (8.2 cP). By chemical action it then turns into a heavier, dry, enduring, long‑lasting protective coating (68 cSt at 40°C). PrOlix® was even rated next to the winner in a grease test!

Cleans

PrOlix® is a penetrating solvent developed over many years, used in industry, and rated one of the safest and most effective agents. Based on citrus technology (it has a pleasant, mild smell in contrast to petroleum‑based solvents), it is biodegradable and ozone‑safe.

We took field test results and modified the solvent for firearm use. The end result was improved effectiveness while remaining non‑abrasive and non‑acidic. In short, it won’t remove or harm your metal or wood finishes. We do recommend testing on plastics in a small area (on the back side). If no adverse reaction is noticed, you may proceed with complete confidence. Another benefit of using PrOlix® is that total disassembly is not required.

The solvent seeks out dirt, oils, grime, etc. (even in small or hard‑to‑reach areas) and floats them away. The chemical action during cleaning develops the dry lubricant and it is drawn into the pores of the material, creating a protective skin.

Protects

PrOlix® has been proven to work in the freezing conditions of Alaska, the dusty, wet flatlands of Texas, and the damp, humid jungles of South America. PrOlix® preserves and protects due to its thorough cleaning and complete surface coverage.

PrOlix® will not remove metal defects. It is a must for all blued, nickel, and stainless steel finishes. PrOlix® is armor‑tough yet works equally well on precision guns, air guns, and the sophisticated arms used by law enforcement and the military. PrOlix® is #1 in total gun care. You can depend on PrOlix® — or your money back. Guaranteed.

Industrial

PrOlix®’s second‑generation dry lubricant formulation exceeds government guidelines and contains no components that appear on the EPA’s lists of toxic or hazardous substances. It is a non‑aqueous cleaning agent with minimal odor, no residue, and is effective for immersion or hand‑wipe cleaning applications. Its closed‑cup flash point is above 100°F (38°C), making it suitable for ultrasonic, spray‑under‑immersion, recirculating parts washers, and immersion/soak applications. PrOlix® recommends not using heat because it is unnecessary.

Multi-Purpose

Use on firearms, fishing reels, knives, tools, and more. Prevents wood deterioration and restores a natural look.

Simple-to-Use

  • Apply PrOlix® dry lubricant directly to the part using a brush, cleaning cloth, or patch.
  • Allow time for penetration, then wipe or scrub as needed. Repeat until clean.
  • Goes on wet, cleans, bonds, and dries to the touch.
  • For best results, remove grips before use.
  • Always refer to the manufacturer’s manual for proper cleaning or repair procedures.

 

CAUTION: Keep closed when not in use. Store in the original, properly marked container only. Wear eye protection while using. Use in a well‑ventilated area. Supervise children and pets.

The elaborate, ongoing testing by our competitors relates to their petroleum products, which any armorer or gunsmith will agree do not belong on firearms. Petroleum products contaminate and create problems when used for cleaning, lubricating, and “protecting” the tools of our shooting sports. PrOlix® has been compared with them all — the results: no other product comes close. We strongly encourage you to test it for yourself.
