U.S.M.C./U.S. Army: M3P (Avenger), M-134 and M-19. Navsea: Mark 38, Mark 75. U.S.A.F.: M61A1, GAU-2C, GAU-19, ALS, UALS, MAU-12. Additionally, a long list of special ops and security forces throughout the services use TW-25B® on small arms Question: How can I place an order? Answer: Call Mil-Comm directly at 1-888-947-3273 for IMPAC or other Government orders. Firearms Question: Is TW-25B® a Teflon lubricant? Answer: Teflon is Dupont's brand name and design for a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) particle. TW-25B® is based on a proprietary PTFE-based technology. Mil-Comm's particle is smaller and spherical in shape. Additionally, TW-25B® is formulated like no other material in the world, giving it exceptional special properties. Question: What makes TW-25B® better? Answer: Many firearm experts agree that TW-25B® and its sister formulas deliver superior performance when compared to any other lubricant protectant in the world. From operating temperatures and corrosion prevention to excessive load carrying and extreme pressure, TW-25B® is the ultimate all-purpose lube. And, it's non-toxic Question: Is it all right to continue to use my regular solvent spray? Answer: If you want to clean the weapon with a product like Gun Scrubber or Hoppe's #9, that is ok. However, once you use TW-25B®, you will have minimal heavy buildup, so aggressive solvents are less necessary. After spraying a solvent on gun parts, you will want to remove solvent residue, which by nature counteracts synthetic lubricants. We recommend that you follow the application of the solvent by wiping the parts with a cotton swab containing 90%+ isopropyl alcohol. This will remove solvent residue. Then, allow the parts to dry. Finally, apply one of Mil-Comm's superior lubricants. Fishing/Boating Question: Where and how do I apply the lubricant to my reels? Answer Follow the reel manufacturer's instructions on disassembling your reel, which will note key lubrication points. Use Reel Saver® Cleaner to clean parts and emulsify organics. Wipe off pre-existing material from reels with a clean, dry cloth. Then, apply modest amounts of Reel Saver® grease or Reel Saver® oil to reels. A little goes a long way. Question: What's better, Reel Saver® Grease or Reel Saver® Oil? Answer Reel Saver grease and Reel Saver® Oil are nearly identical in performance. We recommend using Reel Saver® Grease in exposed areas and Reel Saver® Oil for hard-to-reach points. Question: Is Reel Saver® good for conventional big game reels too? Answer Yes, Reel Saver® is good for all reels. However, if you are accustomed to a lubricant with the thick consistency of traditional gear grease, our Reel Saver® HG (heavy grade) is 50% more dense than Reel Saver® grease. Reel Saver HG adheres exceptionally well to big game reels, while it delivers all of the benefits of Reel Saver® grease. Question: Is Boat Saver® good for electrical connectors? Answer Yes, Boat Saver acts as an exceptional corrosion inhibitor on electrical connectors as well as providing excellent lubricant on all kinds of moving parts on boat and trailer. Industrial Question: What difference can Mil-Comm's lubricants make on machinery performance? Answer: Mil-Comm's technology delivers superior lubrication to all parts thereby reducing friction significantly and allowing for cooler running of moving parts, especially under extreme pressure and in load carrying conditions. TW-25B® also uniquely prevents galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals. TW-25B®'s superior lubrication qualities contribute to preventing downtime and to extending the life of machine parts.
