Ballistol Cold Degreaser is a fast-evaporating cleaner for removing oil, grease, soot, resinified oil deposits and adhesive residue.
Ballistol Cold Degreaser is a fast-evaporating cleaner for removing oil, grease, soot, resinified oil deposits and adhesive residue. The acetone-free aerosol dries without leaving residue and is suitable for cleaning firearm components or preparing metal surfaces before lubrication, cold bluing, painting and other finishing work. Suitable for use Cleaning and degreasing firearm components Removing oil and grease Dissolving dried and resinified oil deposits Removing soot and persistent dirt Cleaning metal, plastic and glass surfaces Removing resin and adhesive residue Removing sticker residue Cleaning components before assembly Preparing metal surfaces for cold bluing Preparing surfaces for painting or electroplating Cleaning difficult-to-reach areas Degreasing tools and other technical components Why choose Ballistol Cold Degreaser? Effectively removes oil and grease Dissolves dried and resinified oil deposits Helps remove soot, resin and adhesive residue Suitable for metal, plastic and glass Neutral towards plastics according to the manufacturer Acetone-free formulation Contains no aromatic compounds or nitro solvents Evaporates without leaving residue Leaves the surface grease-free and ready for further treatment Aerosol application reaches recessed areas Compact 50 ml can Technical specifications Intended use: Cleaning, degreasing and surface preparation Contents: 50 ml Container: Aerosol Suitable materials: Metal, plastic, glass and other solvent-resistant surfaces Removes: Oil, grease, soot, resin, adhesive and resinified oil deposits Acetone-free: Yes Free from aromatic compounds: Yes Free from nitro solvents: Yes Drying: Evaporates without leaving residue Appearance: Colourless and clear Odour: Solvent-like Boiling range: Approximately 56 °C Melting temperature: Below –90 °C Solvent flash point: Below 0 °C Ignition temperature: Approximately 540 °C Vapour pressure: Approximately 250 hPa Relative density: Approximately 0.8 g/cm³ Solubility in water: Miscible Signal word: Danger Flammability: Extremely flammable aerosol Container hazard: Pressurised and may burst if heated Maximum storage temperature: Below +50 °C Supplied with Ballistol Cold Degreaser 50 ml aerosol Frequently asked questions Does the degreaser leave an oil or protective coating? No. The cleaner evaporates without leaving residue and leaves the surface dry and free from grease. Sliding components and metal surfaces requiring corrosion protection must be treated with a suitable gun oil or grease after cleaning. Is it suitable for plastic components? According to the manufacturer, the product is neutral towards plastics and is suitable for both metal and plastic components. Because plastics, coatings and finishes vary, compatibility should first be tested on an inconspicuous area. Can Ballistol Cold Degreaser be used to clean an entire firearm? The manufacturer lists the product as suitable for complete firearm cleaning. It may be used on compatible metal and plastic components, but it should not be sprayed directly onto optical surfaces, electronic sights, ammunition, untreated wood or finishes whose solvent resistance has not been confirmed. Can it be used before cold bluing? Yes. A completely grease-free surface is essential before cold bluing, painting or electroplating. The cleaner removes oil and grease and then evaporates from the treated surface. How should the degreaser be applied? Spray it onto the surface and wipe away the dissolved dirt with a clean, lint-free cloth. Repeat the process when required. For final degreasing, wet the surface thoroughly, allow the excess cleaner to drain away and wait until the component is completely dry. What is the difference between this degreaser and a gun-parts cleaner? Cold Degreaser is primarily intended to leave a completely grease-free surface before lubrication, assembly or finishing. A gun-parts cleaner is better suited to general component cleaning, especially when high spray pressure and a brush are needed to remove dirt from guide surfaces and narrow gaps. How should the aerosol be used safely? Use the product outdoors or in a well-ventilated area and keep it away from flames, sparks, hot surfaces and other ignition sources. Avoid breathing the vapour and prolonged skin contact. Never pierce or burn the aerosol can, and do not expose it to temperatures above +50 °C. When is Ballistol Cold Degreaser the right choice? This product is a practical choice when old lubricant must be removed completely before fresh oil or grease is applied. It is also suitable for cleaning small technical components and preparing metal surfaces for cold bluing, painting, electroplating or assembly. Choose a gun oil or ceramic lubricant when lubrication and corrosion protection are required. A specialised bore cleaner is more suitable for removing copper, tombac, zinc or lead deposits, while a high-pressure gun-parts cleaner is preferable for flushing dirt from complex components and recessed areas. Expert recommendation Before cleaning, confirm that the chamber and magazine are empty and remove all ammunition from the work area. Field-strip the firearm only as described in its manual. Apply the degreaser sparingly and wipe away dissolved dirt with a clean, lint-free cloth. When preparing metal for cold bluing or painting, do not touch the degreased surface with bare fingers after it has dried, as skin oils may affect the finish. During routine firearm maintenance, allow the cleaner to evaporate fully and then apply a thin layer of the correct oil or grease to the required surfaces. A clean, grease-free surface for further maintenance Ballistol Cold Degreaser removes oil, grease, soot, resin and adhesive residue before evaporating without leaving a film. The compact 50 ml aerosol is well suited to precise firearm-component degreasing and surface preparation before lubrication, assembly or finishing.
