Someone over at bobistheoilguy.com posted the same thing a few days ago. http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1061989&gonew=1#UNREAD FWIW, he also posted this: http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1061998#Post1061998 |

That is a very good site--it has some of the best info I've seen about gun lubes. I like the fact that SLIP2000 has no volatiles and a nil evaporation rate. It also uses metallic salts for corrosion resistance, which are supposed to work well. It looks like it uses synthetic HC's for lubrication and cleaning. Also, no PFTE or Halogenated HC's. |

Yes, it appears the MSDS for Slip2000 is not unique. It appears identical to this product: Link There was another product too--a penetrating oil--that appeared to have the same MSDS. Interesting, but nothing new--there is more than one gun lube sold under different names/companies for different markets. Anything in the MSDS that sounds bad? It looks pretty good to me. |

I'm sure it is selling at a large premium, as I think most of these specialty gun oils are. Could the metalic salts be the AW ingredient? I know they are anti-corrosive, but it seems like I remember reading that when certain metalic salts are added to oils, they can act as AW agents also. I picked up a bottle of Slip 2000 CLP the other day--should be able to try it out soon. I also would like to try Weapon Shield, which I think you said was your favorite. I've never liked the idea of halogenated HC's though, but have heard WS has chemistry to prevent acid formation. |

I also have some FP10 leftover. I've been using it for hinges, air tool oil, etc. Brander, I can understand your hesitation with halogenated products. FWIW, one of the Lube engineers that I talk with hates the stuff for anything other than cutting oil. There can be problems. Having said that, I have yet to see any problems with the stuff George Fennell has formulated. His new Weapon Shield is a large step up from the old FP10. And a problem I have with MPC now is that they do not have a lube engineer on staff, so they are simply producing what George formulated years ago, and who is there to watch the quality control? As for the Metallic salts, 2 lube engineers thought it was mostly for anti-corrosion. Though calcium can be used as AW. No way to know for sure. |
