Deputy,

I've read in a product test, that Tetra Gun contains ammonia and should be used very carefully. If you don't completely remove it from your gun after cleaning, it evaporates after a while and, under certain conditions, may cause the destruction of the metal parts including the barrel and the blue finish. Don't know if it even eats up plastic grips ...

I always read the list of ingredients and if it contains ammonia I keep my fingers away from it. Seems to be very agressive.

regards,

Here are some solvent products out of the test which I think are available in the US. 'yes' means it contains ammonia.

Robla Solo Mil - yes
Hoppe?s No. 9 - no
Hoppe?s Benchrest - yes
Tetra Gun Copper Solvent - yes
Liqui Moli Guntec - yes

Sorry for coming up with this topic again, but here is what I've
learned from the solvent test report mentioned above.

Hoppe's and other solvents are PH balanced as of their mixture
of ingredients - that's correct. But when leaving the product on the
gun for longer time, some of the ingredients evaporates, while
other don't. The remaining ingredients now, which are some kinds of chemical salt,
are no longer balanced and interacting with metal parts, plastic and so on.
The authors of the solvent product test recommend to thoroughly
clean the gun from the remains and use a common gun oil to
preserve the weapon.
