When the United States Military issued directive PD-48, a purchase description of properties for a single, multi-purpose product to maintain their weaponry, it became known as the “impossible specification” because of its severe requirements. However the product that met the challenge was Break-Free CLP. Known simply as CLP to anyone who has ever carried a weapon in the US armed services.
It is a formulation of synthetic oils and individual proprietary ingredients, which synergize in combination to do three important tasks simultaneously: Clean, Lubricate and Protect metal.
After years of rigorous testing, Break-Free CLP actually exceeded the Military’s requirements and was approved as a product to meet MIL-L-63460, a new even more rigorous specification.
Bill, our ex-Marine here at RealGuysReviews, said they used CLP by the 55-gallon containers and that they basically soaked their entire M-16s in break free containers.
CLP is advertised as a bore Cleaning solvent, lubricant and rust preventative and is noted to:
• Penetrate and spread along metal surfaces into every pit and crevice to undercut contamination and lift residue away where it can be removed.
• Leave a Long-lasting lubricating film that reduces adhesion of sand, grit or other abrasives, which cause wear and failure.
• Have Corrosion inhibitors to prevent the formation of rust leaving a boundary film that protects metal surfaces from moisture and other contaminants.
• AND is made of Specially formulated synthetic oils that won’t lose viscosity, dry out or stiffen up in extreme environments – such as cold, heat, dust, dirt, humidity and even salt air – keeping equipment in ready condition for months at a time.
I agree with many others who have stated that if CLP is good enough for our US military to trust their weapons with – then by gosh – it’s good enough for me – THEIR TARGETS SHOOT BACK – mine don’t.
