SPEC357 in a One Ounce Bottle
Q: "What makes a synthetic lubricant superior to the base stocks produced from crude petroleum?"
A: First of all, the molecules in synthetic lubricants are much more consistent in size and shape, which reduces the effects of extreme temperatures. Typically, a conventional lubricant''s short-chain molecules can easily evaporate, and its unstable molecules will oxidize in the extreme heat. In addition, synthetic stocks are chemically produced so there are no contaminants. Conventional lubricants contain small amounts of sulfur, wax and asphaltic material that cannot be completely removed from crude petroleum. Another key difference is that synthetic stocks do not contain wax.
Q: "What''s the difference between a 100 percent synthetic lubricant and a semi-synthetic?"
A: All lubricants are made up of base lubricant and additives. Fully synthetic lubricants contain synthetic base oils, and synthetic blends usually use a combination of synthetic and conventional base oils. Semi-synthetic oils or blends may also be blends of hydro-cracked or hydro-processed base stock with conventional mineral base stock. Don''t assume that a "blend" contains a high percentage of synthetic base stocks. The synthetic base lubricant component can be as little as 10 percent of the total product in these semi-synthetic products.
Q: "Is SPEC 357 a fully synthetic lubricant?"
A: Yes, it''s 100 percent synthetic. The base stocks used in blending SPEC 357 are all "chemically constructed" instead of being simply segregated out of crude lubricants like conventional mineral oils.
Q: "Can SPEC 357 help my pistol last longer?"
A: Yes, with normal recommended maintenance practices. SPEC 357''s synthetic base stocks are free of any compounds that can readily oxidize or form varnish

By AA, Loyal Customer On 11/13/2009 I recommend adding a few extra details for buyers in the description section of this product how it''s used with, or seperate from: ITEM #42268''s SPEC308 COPPER PASTE LUBRICANT. Some GLOCK consumers may be unsure applying this lube on it''s own or combined with the SPEC308 copper paste. Default assumption is SPEC357 oil is mainly used ONLY for the trigger lever bar pivot mechanism located in the back of Glock firearms on average whereas the copper paste lubricant should be used for everything else while using both lubricants during NORMAL cleaning service without having to strip down the entire firearm down to every piece.

By DL, Loyal Customer On 10/08/2009 Lubricant is thick whick makes it ideal because it does not evaporate easily and prevents over lubrication. Will definitely buy from TGS again, fast shipment.
