Black powder shooting demands a cleaner that can go toe-to-toe with the particularly aggressive fouling that muzzleloaders and inline rifles leave behind, and the Bore Tech Black Powder Solvent 16oz is purpose-built for exactly that job. Developed by Bore Tech in the USA, this aqueous-based, surfactant-driven formula is engineered to dissolve and lift powder residue, bullet lube, plastic fouling, and corrosive salts from the bore with minimal fuss. Unlike older-generation black powder solvents, this formula is completely ammonia-free, non-flammable, non-hazardous, and produces no harsh odour, making it far more pleasant to work with in a field camp or cleaning room. The 16oz (473ml) squeeze bottle gives you a generous working volume for extended cleaning sessions or routine maintenance across a full season of hunting or range shooting.

Bore Tech Black Powder Solvent 16oz Key Features

• Aqueous-based, surfactant formula: Uses high-performance surfactants and naturally derived solvents rather than petroleum-based chemicals, making it effective at penetrating and removing fouling without damaging barrel steel, breech plugs, or nipples.
• Cuts through black powder fouling: Specifically formulated to dissolve the hygroscopic, corrosive salts and residue produced by black powder and black powder substitutes, which standard bore solvents often struggle to address.
• Removes bullet lube and plastic fouling: Targets the wad and sabot residue, plastic deposits, and bullet lubricants commonly left behind in muzzleloader bores, reducing patch count and cleaning time.
• Built-in rust inhibitors: The formula contains rust inhibitors that leave a protective layer on the barrel surface after cleaning, guarding against corrosion between uses, which is especially important given the highly corrosive nature of black powder fouling.
• Ammonia-free: Contains no ammonia, eliminating the risk of stress corrosion in the barrel and making it safe for extended bore contact without the fumes or chemical hazard associated with ammonia-based products.
• 100% barrel safe: Safe for use on all barrel types and finishes, including blued, stainless, and nitride-treated bores, as well as the synthetic stocks and components common on modern inline muzzleloaders.
• Non-flammable and non-hazardous: Can be transported, stored, and used without the handling restrictions that apply to flammable solvent-based cleaners, making it practical for use in the field or at a shooting range.
• Biodegradable and odour-free: Environmentally responsible formula that breaks down safely and produces no harsh chemical odour during use.
• 16oz (473ml) squeeze bottle: The squeeze bottle applicator (product height 9.25 inches / 23.5cm) allows for controlled, direct application to patches, jags, and bore brushes without waste.

For muzzleloader hunters and black powder sport shooters who take bore maintenance seriously, Bore Tech's Black Powder Solvent delivers a genuinely user-friendly clean without compromising on performance. It is a practical, no-fuss addition to any black powder cleaning kit.
