In firearm manufacturing, reliability doesn’t stop when the gun leaves the line. Every rifle or pistol that ships faces weeks—or months—of unknown conditions: humidity, handling, and time. When that happens, one weak link in your maintenance process can turn into corrosion, seized parts, or lost confidence.
That’s exactly why Patriot Ordnance Factory (POF) has relied on SEAL1 for more than a decade.
A Partner Built on Proof, Not Promises
POF’s relationship with SEAL1 goes back to 2013 or 2014, when a sales rep introduced the product to their team. Since then, they’ve made SEAL1 part of nearly every stage of production.
“We buy the big tubs—go through about one a month,” one POF team member said. “We use it on all of our new platforms during assembly, before the initial test fire, and again during final cleaning. It protects the parts and keeps carbon from sticking.”
Their process is simple: after test fire, rifles are disassembled, wiped down, treated again with SEAL1, and prepped for shipping. Whether that gun spends a week in a dry warehouse or six months in coastal humidity, POF knows it’ll stay protected.
Why SEAL1 Became Their Go-To
Ask anyone on POF’s floor, and they’ll tell you SEAL1 just works. It’s not oily, not greasy, and doesn’t leave that slick film most CLPs are known for. Instead, it creates a light, dry barrier that keeps carbon and moisture off the metal.
When POF runs demo days—firing up to 10,000 rounds through multiple guns—they don’t need to tear down every rifle between sessions. A quick wipe and reapplication is all it takes to get back on the line. The guns stay cleaner, cooler, and ready for the next string.
“It’s hard to describe,” said one POF shooter. “It’s not a film, it’s not greasy—it’s just this protective layer that works. After thousands of rounds, it still wipes clean.”
Why Manufacturers Are Paying Attention
Firearm makers operate in unpredictable environments. Guns might sit in a distributor’s warehouse in Florida, a retail case in Virginia, or a police armory in Arizona. That variability is where SEAL1 earns its keep.
- Prevents corrosion in long-term storage
- Speeds up cleaning and maintenance cycles
- Protects during shipping and demo use
- Works across multiple formats—paste, gel, aerosol, liquid
Manufacturers don’t have to guess which product fits their workflow. From line assembly to customer delivery, SEAL1 scales with production needs.
A Better First Impression
Every firearm that leaves your facility represents your brand. A clean, well-protected gun builds confidence with distributors and end users alike. That’s why companies like POF integrate SEAL1 into their process—not as an afterthought, but as part of their quality control.
Even the laziest gun cleaner (their words, not ours) notices the difference. One POF team member described washing a SEAL1-treated Glock under hot water—no scrubbing, no smell, no mess—just a clean gun and a lasting finish.
When something works this well for both the factory floor and the everyday shooter, it’s worth a closer look.
Ready to See the Difference?
If your manufacturing team wants to reduce cleaning time, improve corrosion resistance, and protect your products from the inside out, it’s worth testing SEAL1 on your next production run.
