Ballistol Cold Degreaser – powerful grease remover and cold cleaner

Stubborn oil and grease deposits, dried-on residues or diesel dirt: Ballistol Cold Degreaser removes what other cleaners leave behind. Developed for professional users in gunsmiths' workshops, for gun care, in workshops, industry and metalworking, it can be used just as reliably in hobby and household applications. If you need surfaces that are clean, grease-free and ready for further processing, this is the right product for you.

Performance and areas of use:

Ballistol Cold Degreaser reliably removes oils, greases, soot, nicotine, resinified oil residues, diesel deposits as well as adhesive residues and stickers. It is equally suitable for degreasing metals, plastics, glass and many other materials, making it essentially a true universal cleaner. It has proven particularly effective wherever cleanliness is a prerequisite for the next work step and preparation determines the result: in the pretreatment of surfaces before painting, bluing or electroplating, in cleaning individual parts before assembly, or in gun and equipment care. After all, bluing, electroplating and paint only adhere to completely grease-free metal. 

Typical areas of use:

• Pretreatment of metal surfaces before bluing, electroplating or painting
• Cleaning brakes and brake discs
• Machines, engines, gearboxes, housings and units
• Tools, chains, bearings, guides and gears
• Metal plates, workpieces and sliding surfaces
• Guns and precision parts
• Soiled workpieces and components before assembly or surface treatment

Technical properties:

• Removes oil, grease, resinified oils, soot, diesel deposits and organic soiling
• Suitable for metals, plastics, glass and many other materials
• Dissolves adhesive residues and stickers
• For pretreatment before bluing, electroplating and painting
• Cleans thoroughly and without residue
• Proven for cleaning brakes and brake discs
• Acetone-free, no nitro solvents

Directions for use:

Spray onto the item to be degreased several times, depending on the degree of soiling, and allow to drip off at an angle. In the case of heavy oil contamination or a thick layer of grease, wipe off with a cloth first. Allow the pretreated metal surface to dry, then spray again. Once dry, the area is grease-free and the follow-up treatment can be carried out.

Do not apply to hot parts or running engines. Use only outdoors or in well-ventilated rooms. For sensitive materials such as certain plastics, as well as painted or anodised surfaces, compatibility should be tested beforehand on an inconspicuous area.

For metals prone to corrosion, prompt further treatment or preservation with a suitable rust protection oil, e.g. Ballistol Premium Rust Protection Oil or Ballistol Universal Oil, is recommended after degreasing.
