Barricade Rust Protector Lubricant 10 oz Casey

Barricade® Rust Protection by Birchwood Casey - 10 oz Aerosol Can

The Barricade® Rust Protection from Birchwood Casey is an indispensable solution engineered specifically for the advanced preservation and corrosion prevention of firearms and metallic surfaces. This 10-ounce aerosol is expertly formulated to rapidly displace moisture from the microscopic pores of metal substrates, depositing a durable, transparent protective film that effectively seals the surface. This barrier prevents the onset of rust and corrosion, ensuring optimal longevity and performance of your precision firearms and related metallic components.

Key Technical Features:

• Rapid Moisture Displacement: Designed to swiftly expel moisture trapped within the metal’s microstructure, providing immediate anti-corrosive protection critical for firearms exposed to humid or wet environments.
• Invisible Protective Film: Forms a clear, non-intrusive coating that seals the metal surface against oxidation, maintaining the firearm’s original finish without affecting mechanical tolerances or aesthetics.
• Multi-Functional Application: Beyond rust prevention, Barricade® serves as an effective penetrating oil to loosen rusted or seized components, a high-performance lubricant to reduce friction in moving parts, and a reliable bore cleaner that aids in removing fouling and residue from the barrel’s interior.
• Proven Durability: Rigorously tested under ASTM standards, it withstands over 500 hours in humidity chamber tests and 96 hours in salt fog exposure, demonstrating exceptional resilience under extreme environmental conditions encountered in field and range use.

Usage Instructions for Optimal Performance:

1. Preparation: Ensure the workspace is well-ventilated before application. Shake the aerosol can vigorously to homogenize the active ingredients for consistent performance.
2. Application: Hold the can approximately 15 to 20 centimeters (6 to 8 inches) from the metal surface. Apply an even, thin coat ensuring all exposed metallic areas, including hard-to-reach crevices and joints, are thoroughly covered.
3. Drying Time: Allow the protective layer to air dry fully. The transparent film will form rapidly, creating a robust barrier against moisture, salts, and other corrosive agents commonly encountered in outdoor and tactical environments.
4. Maintenance: For sustained corrosion resistance, reapply Barricade® Rust Protection after each firing session, cleaning cycle, or whenever the firearm or metal surface is exposed to adverse weather or corrosive conditions.
5. Storage: Store the aerosol in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources or open flames. Keep out of reach of children and comply with all safety regulations regarding pressurized containers.

Consistent use of Birchwood Casey’s Barricade® Rust Protection ensures your firearms, ammunition casings, and other metallic hunting or shooting equipment remain in peak condition. This advanced rust inhibitor extends service life, preserves mechanical integrity, and maintains the precision and reliability demanded by hunters, competitive shooters, and reloaders who require superior metal protection in harsh environments.
