Ballistol
and The Industry
Numerous beverage
manufacturers, bottling
companies and
breweries
in Europe use BALLISTOL
for the maintenance and
protection of their machinery.
Among them are bottling stations
for Coca Cola, mineral water
companies and of course, many of
Germany's famous beer breweries.
One of Germany's largest
precision scale manufacturers,
Bizerba, has specified
BALLISTOL for use in
their precision scales and has
been using it for many years.
The main reason is that
BALLISTOL does not
resinify even after a long time
and that parts lubricated with
BALLISTOL will
never become sticky or glued
together and thus cause
increased friction, which is
crucial for highly sensitive
precision scales.
The general food industry uses
BALLISTOL for two
major reasons: it is not toxic
to people and pets and what
remains, after the components of
BALLISTOL that can
evaporate have evaporated, is of
practically neutral odor and
taste. And that is important to
German beer brewers, who are
committed to making beer under
the strict rules of the "Reinheitsgebot,"
the purity law, issued in 1516
by the Bavarian Dukes Wilhelm
and Ludwig.
BALLISTOL is
particularly well suited for use
in
hospitals because of its
non-toxicity,
non-carcinogenicity and
stability when exposed to
autoclaving. BALLISTOL
will not leave any toxic or
carcinogenic residues on any
equipment and it retains a
measure of lubricity and
corrosion prevention even after
autoclaving.
Aircraft,
Automotive and
Marine
industries have a constant need
for lubrication and corrosion
prevention. BALLISTOL
excels above many other
lubricants because of its
alkalinity, low surface tension,
low conductivity and its ability
to emulsify with water.

Ballistol on Aircraft
Helicopters and fixed wing aircraft
have a constant need for lubrication and
corrosion prevention. Whenever moving
parts need both lubrication and
corrosion protection, a product, which
can do both, should be used.
BALLISTOL is a universal
lubricant and corrosion inhibitor, which
can be used on any type of metal as well
as on all plastics, wood, leather and
rubber without damage to these
materials. BALLISTOL works
especially well in a salt water
environment due to the fact that -
unlike some competing products - it will
not attract salt.
Rubber bearings can be cleaned with
BALLISTOL. This will also
have a positive effect on the rubber,
since occasional contact with
BALLISTOL will slow down the
aging of rubber parts.
BALLISTOL works remarkably
well in the lubrication of ball bearings
and pitch change bearings on
helicopters.
BALLISTOL can be used to
clean soot off the skin of aircraft and
to clean and maintain turbine wheels on
jet airplanes. BALLISTOL
cleans leather and vinyl interiors and
rejuvenates the look of wood appliances.
When applied on helicopter blade pins
BALLISTOL guarantees easy
removal. It also prevents bolts and nuts
from seizing. BALLISTOL
stops hinges and any other moving
mechanical links from squeaking and
binding. Cabin doors, baggage
compartment doors etc. can be lubricated
lastingly with BALLISTOL.
BALLISTOL is ideal for the
lubrication and maintenance of braided
steel cables and pulleys. Due to its low
surface tension BALLISTOL
creeps along cables to reach areas to
which you may not have direct or easy
access. Lubricate your aircraft's
controls with BALLISTOL
for smoother and steadier action.
Ailerons and flaps and the associated
mechanics can be kept in smooth
operating condition with BALLISTOL
BALLISTOL can be used to
lubricate and protect any exposed
non-anodized metallic part on any
aircraft. It can also be used to
lubricate, protect and maintain all
tooling, and gauges. In addition you can
use it on boots, gloves, belts and other
leather gear.
BALLISTOL has a very low
electrical conductivity. In pure form it
is safe to use on electrical equipment.
BALLISTOL can be mixed
with rinse water and be used to wash
down an airplane or helicopter. It will
leave a very thin oily film behind which
will make it difficult for dirt or salt
to attach itself.
When freshly applied BALLISTOL
has a distinct smell and taste. After
approx. 20-25 minutes of exposure to air
BALLISTOL turns into a
practically tasteless and odorless
substance.
