What is the intended use for CLP?

Intended use: CLP covered by this specification is a highly penetrating, mobile liquid and is intended for field application to satisfy the complete need of cleaning, lubricating, and short term preservation of military weapons. CLP facilitates the effective removal of firing residues, gums and other contaminants from weapon components while providing lubrication and short term preservation for reliable weapons operation. Short term preservation is defined as Preservation period of time not to exceed 30 days. Please note that although MIL-PRF-63460E states that CLP is approved for short term preservation, G96’s Synthetic CLP Gun Oil is rated for use longer than 30 days. Although it is difficult to say how long due to variable environmental possibilities, we recommend that not only the firearm be stored in a locked and safe position, but that it be stored in a cool area with low humidity. Ventilation requirements: Due to the solvent systems often employed in CLP type formulations, field users should avoid using CLP in conditions of limited ventilation, that is, closed rooms, sealed vehicles, etc. Please note that although MIL-PRF-63460E states the above ventilation requirements, G96’s Synthetic CLP Gun oil contains no solvents. Therefore, normal ambient ventilation is satisfactory. Preservative application limitation: Caution should be exercised when using CLP where ventilation of the treated surface, prior to sealing, is not practicable. CLP should not be used for preservation for long-term storage without consulting the qualifying activity. Please note that although MIL-PRF-63460E states that CLP is approved for short term preservation, G96’s Synthetic CLP Gun Oil is rated for use longer than 30 days. Although it is difficult to say how long due to unlimited storage possibilities, we recommend that not only the firearm be stored in a locked and safe position, but that it be stored in an area where it is cool and low humidity.
