KG-12 COPPER REMOVER & BORE CLEANER

During the 2004 Shot Show KG was asked to develop a copper remover for Military Howitzers. They simply wanted a better product then what was being sold on the retail market. KG, although developing enchants to remove copper, went against the grain and company philosophy, did set out to develop a chemical means to remove copper from these large bore guns. One of the biggest barriers to hurtle was the specifications called for in the initial request. The product had to be environmentally friendly, not attack any other metals and also needed to be user friendly (smell and toxins).

.

The result of efforts was "KG-12" a copper remover which will remove the toughest of copper fouling without harming any other metals. There is no need to "neutralize" KG-12 like you do with other Ammonia based products and no need to "get it out quick" like Ammonia based enchants. KG-12 contains no Ammonia. KG-12 is water based. KG-12 will remove copper fouling fast.

KG-12 was not developed to replace KG-2; rather KG-12 is used by those who prefer etchants over mechanical means of removing copper. When KG-12 is used, KG-2 is used as a bore polish.

TEST RESULTS:

A penny was used, for testing, which measured 1.48 before being submerged into KG-12. After 15 minutes it measured 1.40 After 30 minutes 1.37, After 45 minutes it measured 1.35 and after 1 hour it measured 1.33 After 12 Hours the penny was cleaned with a brass brush and measured 1.2. There was no scrubbing done to the test piece until the 12 hour test measurement.
