100% Biodegradable Firearm Maintenance Solution

Birchwood Casey’s new biodegradable products are called “Sivex” and at the time of their announcement, there were a total of four products. You have a carbon cutter, copper cutter, CLP-X oil, and a bore wash. By combining consistent maintenance practices with recreational target shooting or competitive firearms training regimens, gun users should be able to enjoy safe, consistent performance all summer long.

• Synvex™ Carbon Cutter Removes heavy carbon and powder deposits on bolts, brakes, etc. while remaining safe for use on metal, polymers and coated surfaces. The formula remains on surfaces long after application, so there’s no need to worry about rapid evaporation.
• Cinvex™ Copper CutterWhich provides the easiest way to remove stubborn copper and lead dirt, as well as prevent future dirt accumulation on everything from bored steel to other sensitive finishes.
• Synvex™ CLP-X Oil Which cleans, lubricates and protects in one simple step. It rapidly penetrates the metal surfaces of any firearm, leaving a moisture-displacing, rust-preventing shield that reduces friction and wear. The synthetic-based formula is also MIL-PRF-63460F-rated, making it suitable for use on US military weapons.
• Cinvex™ Bore WashSafe for use on everything from Cerakote and hydro printing to plastics and wood, breaking down oil, grease and grime without leaving unwanted residue.
