Strikehold is designed to stop rust on all metal surfaces, seals and protects metals from water, chemicals, and salt, and other corrosive contaminants. It penetrates deeply into metal pores, displaces moisture, dissolves minor corrosion, and provides superior long-lasting rust and corrosion protection. It functions well in various operating temperatures/applications and is resistant to UV light and will not attract dirt and grit, does not contain heat-sensitive waxy-paraffin coatings.

Strikehold offers excellent moisture, corrosion, and humidity resistance, 40,000-volt dielectric properties, and has exceptional light transmission capabilities for solar applications. It provides good chemical resistance, salt spray resistance, high-performance, long-term metal protection, and lubrication. loosens rusty parts and flushes out old lubricants. It is also extremely useful for drying wet parts, electrical motors, and circuits, ignitions, and connectors. Strikehold is well suited for commercial and industrial equipment working in or in close proximity to, highly corrosive chemicals like salt, fertilizer, phosphate, and potash.

Strikehold was developed for the US military, to protect all types of weapons from the effects of corrosion, rust, and the sticky buildup from oil-based products. This product worked so well on firearms, it has been used as a maintenance preventative, cleaner, dry lubricant on everything from the Abrams M1A2 tank to the US Marines Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion!
 
Strikehold® is a fast-acting, penetrating compound that cuts through dirt, rust, and corrosion, quickly getting into metal parts that have become frozen or encrusted.
Strikehold® provides a long-lasting dry lubricant, which reduces friction. It helps dry out wet electrical gears and other water-sensitive parts, and will actually improve electrical performance by cleaning and protecting contacts and internal parts, including circuitry and connections. Strikehold® protects by providing a shield-like film against the effects of moisture and corrosion, even against saltwater, while repelling sand, dirt, and dust.
