Q: Does PB Penetrating Catalyst contain silicone?
A: PB does not contain silicone. Experience has demonstrated that PB can be removed from metallic surfaces with common prep solvents prior to painting.
Use caution when using PB on: plastics, paint, rubber*, fiberglass, belting and similar materials. Always apply to an inconspicuous area before proceeding with application as PB may stain such surfaces.
*The petroleum solvents in PB will impregnate common black butyl rubber. If left in contact with these materials for extended periods of time they will begin to swell and deteriorate. However, these solvents evaporate and are not typically on applied surfaces for long periods. Components such as O-rings, control bushings, and gaskets, made from these materials get dry and hard after years of use. The penetrating/impregnating qualities of PB Blaster can restore some of the elasticity and softness to these old hardened components.
Use caution when using PB around: sensitive individuals*, animals and water sources.*PB Stinks! Some sensitive individuals find it extremely offense and will complain of shortness of breath, headaches, and nausea when exposed to the product and its vapors. These symptoms subside once the individual is returned to fresh air.[Refer to MSDS for more information.] For these reasons, we strongly advise against using it on ventilating systems and components.
How can I get rid of the smell? Time and ventilation are your greatest allies. The components of the product which cause the odor are volatile and will dissipate over time. To hasten the process, you can remove as much of the excess PB as possible with hot water and grease-cutting dishwashing detergent. For fabrics, baking soda or powdered carpet fresheners may help.
PB is safe for all metals.
PB was once packaged as "Challenger Weapon Cleaner" and is safe for use on your firearms. It does well at cleaning and imparts a fine petroleum oil to lubricate and protect from corrosion. However, hunters have claimed that deer will smell it "a mile away."
