Why Choose SLIP2000 EWL30? Unpacking Its Core Benefits

SLIP2000 EWL30 isn't just another gun oil; it's a high-performance lubricant engineered with unique properties that set it apart. Here’s a breakdown of its standout advantages:

• Superior Lubrication & Friction Reduction: At its heart, EWL30 excels at reducing friction between moving parts. Its advanced formulation creates a durable, slick barrier that minimizes metal-on-metal contact, leading to smoother cycling, less wear, and improved operational efficiency. This translates directly into enhanced reliability and potentially better accuracy.
• Exceptional Wear Protection: By significantly reducing friction, EWL30 also dramatically decreases wear on critical components like bolts, carriers, rails, and triggers. This extends the service life of your firearms, preserving their value and performance over thousands of rounds.
• Outstanding Corrosion and Rust Prevention: One of the most critical aspects of firearm care is preventing rust and corrosion. EWL30 forms a robust, long-lasting protective film that actively repels moisture and corrosive elements. This makes it ideal for firearms stored in humid environments or exposed to rain, sweat, or saltwater.
• Extreme Temperature Stability: Unlike many conventional lubricants that can break down in high heat or thicken in extreme cold, EWL30 maintains its optimal viscosity and performance across a vast temperature range. Whether operating in scorching desert heat or sub-zero arctic conditions, your firearm remains reliably lubricated.
• Non-Toxic and Safe for All Finishes: A major advantage of SLIP2000 products, including EWL30, is their non-toxic, non-hazardous composition. They are safe to handle without gloves (though always recommended for cleanliness) and won't damage common firearm finishes like bluing, parkerizing, cerakote, or synthetic stocks. This eco-friendly aspect is a significant benefit for both user safety and environmental considerations.
• Reduced Carbon Fouling Adhesion: EWL30’s unique properties inhibit carbon and other fouling from sticking to internal parts. This means less carbon buildup during firing and, crucially, significantly easier and faster cleaning. Carbon that might typically be baked onto surfaces wipes away with minimal effort.
• Long-Lasting Performance: The protective film created by EWL30 is incredibly durable and resistant to burn-off, ensuring your firearm remains well-lubricated even during extended shooting sessions or long periods of storage. This reduces the frequency of re-application.
• Non-Migrating Formula: The lubricant stays where you put it. It resists migration, preventing it from running into areas where it’s not needed or attracting dust and debris unnecessarily.

How to Integrate SLIP2000 EWL30 into Your Firearm Care Routine

Using SLIP2000 EWL30 is straightforward and can significantly enhance your cleaning and lubrication process. Here’s a general guide on how to apply it for optimal results:

Step 1: Cleaning Your Firearm

Before applying any lubricant, ensure your firearm is clean. While EWL30 itself has some cleaning properties by preventing fouling adhesion, using a dedicated cleaner like SLIP2000 Gun Cleaner/Degreaser first will remove existing carbon, powder residue, and old lubricants.

1. Safety First: Always ensure your firearm is unloaded before beginning any cleaning or maintenance.
2. Disassemble: Field strip your firearm according to the manufacturer's instructions.
3. Initial Cleaning: Use a brush and cleaning patches with your preferred cleaning solution to remove loose carbon and residue from the bore, chamber, bolt, and other components.
4. Dry Thoroughly: Ensure all parts are dry before applying EWL30.

Step 2: Applying SLIP2000 EWL30 for Lubrication

Once clean and dry, EWL30 can be applied to all moving parts and surfaces requiring lubrication and protection. The 4 oz squeeze bottle provides precise application.

1. Light Application: Apply a thin, even coat of EWL30 to all metal-on-metal friction points. This includes:
   • Bolt Carrier Group (BCG): Rails, cam pin, firing pin, bolt lugs.
   • Receiver: Inside the upper receiver, charging handle channel.
   • Barrel Extension: Where the bolt lugs lock into the barrel.
   • Slide Rails: On pistols.
   • Trigger Group: Any contact points (use sparingly).
   • Magazine Release & Safety Selector: A small drop can ensure smooth operation.
2. Bore Protection (Optional but Recommended): For long-term storage or extra protection, you can run a patch lightly dampened with EWL30 through the bore. This provides a protective film against rust without affecting accuracy.
3. External Protection: A very thin film wiped onto external metal surfaces can offer additional rust and corrosion protection, particularly for firearms exposed to the elements.
4. Wipe Excess: After application, wipe off any excess lubricant with a clean cloth. A thin film is all that’s needed for maximum effectiveness; more is not better and can attract debris.

Step 3: Reassembly and Function Check

1. Reassemble: Put your firearm back together according to the manufacturer's instructions.
2. Function Check: Perform a function check to ensure all safeties and moving parts operate correctly.

Answering Common Questions About Firearm Maintenance

SLIP2000 EWL30 is often the answer to many persistent questions firearm owners have:

"What's the best way to prevent gun jams?"
Consistent, proper lubrication with a high-quality product like SLIP2000 EWL30 is critical. Jams are often caused by excessive friction due to insufficient lubrication or carbon buildup hindering parts movement. EWL30 reduces friction and prevents carbon from bonding, ensuring smooth cycling and significantly reducing the likelihood of malfunctions. Regular cleaning and lubrication are paramount.

"How can I protect my firearm in harsh conditions (rain, humidity, cold)?"
SLIP2000 EWL30's advanced formula excels in extreme environments. Its durable film protects against moisture, preventing rust and corrosion even in high humidity or when exposed to rain. In cold weather, its stable viscosity ensures it won't gum up, allowing the firearm to cycle reliably without sluggishness. This makes it ideal for hunting in diverse climates or tactical operations where reliability in adverse conditions is non-negotiable.

"Is there a non-toxic gun cleaner/lubricant that's safe for my home and family?"
Yes, SLIP2000 EWL30 is a non-toxic, non-hazardous, and non-flammable lubricant. It's safe for use indoors and has minimal to no odor, making it a much more pleasant experience for maintenance compared to harsh, solvent-based products. This safety aspect is a significant advantage for users concerned about chemical exposure or those cleaning firearms in shared living spaces.

"How often should I lubricate my firearms?"
The frequency of lubrication depends on several factors:

• Usage: Heavily used firearms (e.g., competition guns, duty weapons) should be cleaned and re-lubricated more frequently, ideally after every range session or high-round count event.
• Storage: Firearms stored for long periods, especially in humid conditions, benefit from a protective layer of EWL30 applied periodically (e.g., every 6-12 months) to prevent rust.
• Environment: If exposed to dirt, dust, or moisture, more frequent cleaning and re-lubrication may be necessary.
• Visual Inspection: If the lubricant appears to have dried up or is contaminated, it's time to re-apply.

SLIP2000 EWL30's long-lasting film means less frequent reapplication than many other lubricants, providing extended protection and performance.

"My gun is difficult to clean, especially carbon residue. Can a lubricant help?"
Absolutely. While cleaning products remove existing fouling, SLIP2000 EWL30 acts as a barrier that prevents carbon from bonding strongly to metal surfaces in the first place. When EWL30 is used consistently, carbon simply doesn't adhere as tightly, making subsequent cleaning dramatically easier. Fouling can often be wiped away with a patch instead of requiring aggressive scrubbing, saving time and effort.

The Science Behind Extreme Weapon Lubrication

The "EWL" in SLIP2000 EWL30 stands for Extreme Weapon Lubricant, a testament to its formulation designed for high-stress environments. Its effectiveness stems from its unique synthetic composition. Unlike traditional petroleum-based oils, EWL30 doesn't contain petroleum distillates, which can break down under heat and leave behind gummy residues. Instead, it utilizes advanced polymers and additives that create a durable, non-migrating film that adheres to metal surfaces at a molecular level. This film acts as a boundary lubricant, reducing metal-on-metal friction to an absolute minimum and preventing wear.

The "30" indicates its specific viscosity rating, optimized for a broad range of firearm types and operating conditions, ensuring excellent flow in cold temperatures while maintaining film strength under extreme heat and pressure. This balance is crucial for automatic and semi-automatic firearms that generate significant heat during sustained firing.
