CLP Wet Lubricant vs. MILITEC-1 Dry Lubricant

• CLP is applied wet and remains wet on the
  weapon. It is this wetting that prevents metal
  to metal friction
  
• MILITEC-1 is applied wet to the weapon and when
  heated, bonds to the metal and provides constant
  lubrication even though it feels dry to the
  touch
• CLP represents 1960s technology and MILITEC-1
  represents state of the art 21st century
  technology
  
• Since CLP is a wet lubricant, it will always
  attract sand and dirt, especially in a desert
  environment. This sand and dirt attraction to
  wetness will act like a dust magnet on convoys
  causing weapons to jam when needed most
• Since MILITEC-1 is a dry lubricant, it will not
  attract sand and dirt. Your weapon works right
  the first time, every time, and will not jam in
  combat

CLP Wet Lubricant vs. MILITEC-1 Dry Lubricant

• To properly clean a weapon with CLP takes about 1
  ½ - 2 hrs and it is tough. You have to use
  toothbrushes and I have seen people use dental
  tools to get off carbon
• After the initial application of MILITEC-1,
  cleaning takes half the time of CLP because the
  dry lube creates a molecular bond with the metal
  which prevents carbon and brass from sticking to
  the metal. Cleaning becomes a simple wipe down
• CLP guidance if youve got time, clean it four
  times a day, if youve got more time, clean it
  eight times a day because the one time you didnt
  clean it may be the time it jams. MG Nadeau,
  RDECOM Cdr May 19, 2006
• MILITEC-1. I used your product during my
  previous rotation to Iraq (OIF III) and
  experienced zero problems with either my M9 or
  M16A2 in conjunction with regular cleanings.
  Additionally, my weapons took half the time to
  clean as compared to my comrades who were not
  using MILITEC.CW2 xxx, Email sent to Militec

CLP Wet Lubricant vs. MILITEC-1 Dry Lubricant

• CLP is classified as HAZMAT. You can not clean a
  weapon in an enclosed space without inhaling
  TOXIC fumes. In the desert, you have to clean
  weapons in an enclosed space or it defeats the
  purpose.
• MILITEC-1 is classified as NON-HAZMAT. In 1989,
  the Navy approved MILITEC-1 for use in Submarines
  because MILITEC-1 had no dangerous off gassing
  like CLP therefore, MILITEC-1 is safe to use in
  any enclosed environment
• CLP contaminated cleaning rags and patches must
  be disposed of as HAZMAT
  
• MILITEC-1 cleaning rags and patches are
  NON-HAZMAT.

6
CLP Wet Lubricant vs. MILITEC-1 Dry Lubricant

• Maintenance with CLP treated weapons is a high
  catch 22. Since CLP is a wet lubricant, it
  attracts sand, dirt, and grit. This sand, dirt,
  and grit in turn damages the firing mechanisms.
  If troops dont lube or under lube the weapon,
  then there is metal to metal friction which
  damages firing mechanisms. It is a lose-lose
  situation
• Maintenance with MILITEC-1 decreases the need for
  maintenance. Since MILITEC-1 creates a molecular
  bond with the metal, there is constant
  lubrication that does not attract sand, dirt, and
  grit.
• CLP treated weapons in a desert environment
  causes more down time for weapons and has a
  higher cost associated with its use.
  
• MILITEC-1 treated weapons in all environments
  have less down time and lower maintenance costs
  associated with its use.

7
CLP Wet Lubricant vs. MILITEC-1 Dry Lubricant

• CLP requires shaking before use because its
  mixture separate. In extreme heat or cold, the
  mixture does not always become consistent.
  
• MILITEC-1 is ready to use when needed at all
  times as it does not require mixing before use as
  it is a consistent formula. MILITEC-1 works in
  extreme heat and cold
• When in a firefight, time is of the essence.
  Spending 5-10 seconds shaking CLP before use may
  be the difference between life and death
  
• MILITEC-1 is ready when you need it, first time,
  every time

8
CLP Wet Lubricant vs. MILITEC-1 Dry Lubricant
Putting it all together, the difference is
not trivial, The MILITEC-1 difference is
1) Weapons dont jam in combat 2) More
time for other Soldierly tasks
3) Less maintenance and lower maintenance
costs

The Problem
Contrary to repeated previous Congressional
Guidance/inquiries Contrary t
o previous Under Secretary of Defense Guidance
Troops can not get combat prov
en, MILITEC-1 dry lubricant in the supply
system

• 19 Representatives send joint letter to SECDEF
  Perry in March 1995 to
  
• ensure MILITEC-1 is available to protect our
  Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen.
  
• Representative Jones call on SECDEF Rumsfeld
  June 2004
  
• Representative Jones call on SECDEF Rumsfeld Aug
  2005
  
• Representative Jones and Weldon call on GEN
  Hagee Aug 2006
  
• Honorable Michael Wynn responds to June 2004
  guidance in Jul 2004 In
  
• October 2003, the Army approved MILITEC-1 for
  general use in combat. Since that approval,
  demand for MILITEC-1 exceeded what DLA
  anticipatedDLA has begun building an inventory
  of the product to satisfy future requests. I
  trust this response addresses your concerns.

The Reasons

• Troops can not get combat proven, MILITEC-1 dry
  lubricant in the supply system
  
• Reasons
• Pattern of Misconduct. RDECOM/ TACOM / ARDEC
  emails and verbal guidance contrary to
  Congressional and SECDEF guidance
  
• Faulty tests, Standards, and uncalibrated
  machines. RDECOM biased and simulated 2003-2005
  test. Outdated wet lubricant MILSPEC.
  Uncalibrated machines, other tests
• RDECOM Ignorance of troops in field. Anecdotal
  evidences (AARs and thousands of troop emails)
  support MILITEC-1 and condemns CLP
  
• Substitution of NSNs for unlike products. Troops
  get a CLP substitute when trying to use MILITEC-1
  NSN numbers
  
• Cancellation of NSNs for MILITEC-1. MILITEC-1
  built the demand for its NSNs and now CLP gets
  the thousands of orders

Lab Testing
CLP vs. MILITEC-1 RDECOM Controlled Test,
2003-2005
Militec and other competitors barred from
observing test The facts are that the Army ha
s conducted a study of lubrication of weapons in
a desert environment. The fact is that various
weapons were tested with minimal-, moderate- and
heavy-lubricated weapons. The facts are that the
minimal lubrication had the highest amount of
failure and jamming, while the heavy lubricated
weapon had the least amount of failure.

Real World Troop Feedback
I am very proud to write this letter an to thank
you for support of the troops. I was in
Afghanistan and i wrote to you concerning a
sample of Militec-1. You happily sent it and it
saved our lives. While i was watching other
weapon systems such as a .50 cal, 2 MK-19's, and
a M240-B go down from overheating and jamming up
due to the LSA and GMD and Breakfree and CLP that
the Army issued us, and this was while we were in
the middle of a firefight. However, I had
continued to fire over 500 rounds from my .50
cal because it was lubed up with Militec-1. I
never had a jam or miss fire and it never gummed
up or slowed in firing. It was amazing and to
this day i will still tell everyone about
Militec-1 Thank you for your help and thanks
again for developing a product that will help
save the lives of the soldiers.

PM First off just let me thank you on making a
product that works. I ordered several thousand
dollars of militec close to a month ago and still
haven't recieved it. I just this afternoon used
my last few  drops of militec on crew served
weapons. I am the armorer for my unit and it
worries me that I can't get any militec in, only
CLP and LSAT which is complete garbage as it
turns into a glue when it gets dirt on it. Would
it be possible to get some militec sent to my
address as the supply system is obvisouly a
complete joke. Any help would be greatly
appreciated as i NEED to keep these heavy weapons
up and running. Thanks again and Semper Fi.

I used Millitec-1 during OIF 4-5 and I loved it.
I never had one weapons malfunction with my M-16,
M249, and M2. I love it!!! SGT Jeremy xxx, Sen

I am a Drill Sergeant with Delta Company 795th MP
Battalion. I am trying to get my Battalion supply
to order Militec-1 in place of CLP. I get 220 new
Soldiers every 19 weeks and in Basic training we
use a lot of lube on our weapons. I used your
product in Iraq and never had a weapon go down as
long as I was using you stuff but others had
there weapons mess up with CLP and LSA or L-SAT.

My unit just returned from a year of hard figh
ting in eastern Ramadi.  While in Iraq, we had an
endless supply of militec and it proved to be the
best lubricant any of us had ever used.  Now that
were back in the states, our arms room is
limited to CLP and none of us are looking forward
to going back to that.  SPC David xxx Sent Satur

I used your product in my 05-06 tour in Ramadi a
nd I swear by your product, it is the best oil
for all weapon systems. It doesn't jam and keeps
the sand out. I now train troops going to Iraq
and want to get a free supply for them.

Real World Independent Troop Test
Dear Militec, Last year at my request you mailed
me a couple of cases of your product for use by
my infantry platoon in the Army National Guard.
At that time I told a representative from your
company that I would provide feedback on the
product when I felt my soldiers had enough time
to use the product and observe the results.
Today, after a year of observation on multiple
ranges involving multiple individual and
crew-served weapons organic to an infantry
platoon, I now feel sufficiently suited to
provide you with an honest assessment of your
firearms lubricant. Overwhelmingly the response f
rom my soldiers has been positive and even
grateful. I witnessed and personally helped to
expend thousands of 5.56mm and 7.62mm rounds in
Militec lubricated weapons and am still amazed at
the results. Even in desert climates I
observed a drastic reduction in the number of
weapon malfunctions on my ranges. For example,
while serving as OIC for a battalion level
advanced marksmanship range I personally observed
some 100,000 5.56 rounds fired in a twenty-four
hour period. One of my soldiers fired 3,800
rounds through his weapon in this time after
having used your product and he had only three
missfeeds/jams, all due to worn magazines. My
soldiers continue to tell me that they prefer
Militec over regular CLP.Thank you for your
superior product! Rick xxx 1LT, ARNG

Summary
CLP Wet lubricant and MILITEC-1 Dry lubricant
are not substitutes MILITEC-1 saves lives, time
, and money and CLP does not MILITEC-1 is battl
e proven and Soldier preferred CLP is test
proven and RDECOM preferred Troops can not get
MILITEC-1 due to a pattern of misconduct of DoD
agencies and cancellation of MILITEC-1s NSNs
MILITEC-1 and troops need your help
