Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The all-natural multi-purpose cleaner, lubricant and protectant composition cleans, lubricates and protects various equipment such as firearms.

[0022] In some embodiments, the all-natural multi-purpose cleaner, lubricant and protectant composition includes Ethanol, D-Limonene, Lard, and Beeswax. As the main odor constituent of citrus (plant family Rutaceae), D-Limonene is used in food manufacturing and some medicines, e.g. as a flavoring to mask the bitter taste of alkaloids, and as a fragrant in perfumery. Lard is a semi-solid white fat product obtained by rendering the fatty tissue of a pig. The Lard may be deodorized. In some embodiments, other ingredients such as Methanol, Isopropyl Alcohol, etc., may be alternatively utilized for the Ethanol, Di pentene etc., may be alternatively utilized for the D-Limonene, tallow, coconut oil, etc., may alternatively be utilized for the lard, etc. In other embodiments, the all-natural multi-purpose cleaner, lubricant and protectant composition includes the following weight percentages.

Process

[0026] In embodiments, the following process may be followed to manufacture the all-natural multi-purpose cleaner, lubricant and protectant composition. [0027] Step 1: [0028] 1.1Add the Bees Wax and the Deodorized Lard into a 30-gallon Stainless Steel tank. [0029] 1.2Wrap the heat belt around the tank and turn the switch to the ON position. [0030] 1.3Mix the two components occasionally until they are completely melted (around 140 F). [0031] 1.4Add the D-limonene while leaving the heat belt ON. [0032] Step 2: [0033] 2.1While the above process is heating up, add the Ethanol to a 330-gallon mixing tank (tote). [0034] 2.2Turn ON the mixer. [0035] 2.3While the mixer is ON, add the contents from Step 1 to the tank (tote). [0036] 2.4Mix until the composition is uniform. [0037] Step 3: [0038] 3.1Attach the tank (tote) to the filling equipment. [0039] 3.2Start the filling process. [0040] 3.3Since the composition tends to separate, a portable handheld mixer agitates the batch in the tank (tote). The composition is mixed for 30 seconds to one minute every 15-20 minutes to assure consistency.

[0041] The all-natural multi-purpose cleaner, lubricant and protectant composition may be of viscosity to facilitate being sprayed from a pump sprayer bottle or as an aerosol. In one example, the viscosity may be about 1.0-1.2 cP at 25 C.

[0042] The disclosed all-natural multi-purpose cleaner, lubricant and protectant composition may be stored in a plastic bottle with fine mist sprayer to facilitate application. The bottle is shaken prior to use to ensure the components are mixed. The all-natural multi-purpose cleaner, lubricant and protectant composition mixture may be sprayed and wiped off for cleaner or applied as needed and worked into moving parts for protection and lubrication.

[0043] Unlike other cleaning products, the disclosed all-natural multi-purpose cleaner, lubricant and protectant composition is a concentrated formula (contains 100% active components) and has a light citrus scent.

[0044] The all-natural multi-purpose cleaner, lubricant and protectant composition utilizes all-natural components. As a cleaner, the unique formulation of all-natural components penetrates and spreads into every pit and crevice to undercut contamination and lifts residue away. Leaving a long-lasting lubricating film, the unique formulation of all-natural components dramatically reduces adhesion of sand, grit, or other abrasives that cause wear and failure. And as a protectant, this unique formulation of all-natural components protects metal surfaces from moisture and other contaminants.

[0045] As used herein, the term weight percent is meant to refer to the quantity by weight of a compound and/or component in a composition as the quantity by weight of a constituent component of the composition as a percentage of the weight of the total composition. The weight percent can also be calculated by multiplying the mass fraction by 100. The mass fraction is the ratio of one substance of a mass ml to the mass of the total composition mT such that weight percent=(ml/mT)*100.

[0046] All ranges disclosed herein are inclusive of the recited endpoint and independently combinable (for example, the range of from 50 mg to 500 mg is inclusive of the endpoints, 50 mg and 500 mg, and all the intermediate values). The endpoints of the ranges and any values disclosed herein are not limited to the precise range or value; they are sufficiently imprecise to include values approximating these ranges and/or values.

[0047] Although the different non-limiting embodiments have specific illustrated components, the embodiments of this invention are not limited to those particular combinations. It is possible to use some of the components or features from any of the non-limiting embodiments in combination with features or components from any of the other non-limiting embodiments.

[0048] The foregoing description is exemplary rather than defined by the limitations within. Various non-limiting embodiments are disclosed herein, however, one of ordinary skill in the art would recognize that various modifications and variations in light of the above teachings will fall within the scope of the appended claims. It is therefore to be appreciated that within the scope of the appended claims, the disclosure may be practiced other than as specifically described. For that reason, the appended claims should be studied to determine true scope and content.
