It is not petroleum based. Using TW-25, MC-1210, or the other ones in the family in conjunction with petroleum based lubes will cause degredation

Thanks bro. So you are sure it is not petroleum based, right?
I appreciate the info. I was going to use it to lubricate some O-rings in all my Surefire lights, but I know you arent supposed to use Pet. based lubes or it will degrade the O-rings. Not something I have ever thought about so I figured I would ask here. Everyone knows, ALL questions can be answered here, LOL 
Thanks |

Thanks You can double check the MSDS (should have that info) Thats the info I've always gotten, in relation to M242 maintenance, and NOT using clp on it because of the petroleum/non-petroleum bad juju (it gets TW-25 and MC-1210) I wouldn't be hurt if you gave them a call or asked around a little more either. I'm far from the expert. In fact, I would definately suggest calling them tomorrow

The consensus seems to be that it is safe to use with latex condoms. Just remember, there is no "safe sex," only "safer sex."

So there I was, wandering around the pier at Kuwait Naval Base. I had just finished cleaning up the 25mm, and applied a coat of TW-25B to all parts required.
I notice I keep getting really weird looks from everyone I passed by. Like, dick growing out of my forehead weird looks. So I go and look in a mirror. Turns out while I was applying TW-25 to the gun, I got a glob on my hand, and had reached up to wipe the sweat off my face. It looked like I had just gotten "special time" in aft berthing. The moral of the story is, whenever applying TW-25 to anything, be sure to check your face and crotch areas for any unsightly white globs of goo

I am going to roll with it, that is clear enough. Thanks. |

Just seems like they might go ahead and say it directly, just to make sure they are explicit. Wasn't being a smart ass, just thought it was odd, given how over the top clear most companies are, given the litigious nature of society. |

here is the msds for the TW25 - Unless I am reading the msds wrong, it lists several ingredients as being 'in a highly refined mineral oil' and mineral oil is a petroleum product.. so it may be a no go
