Innovation starts with the need to solve a problem.  Firing weapons creates two primary problems, the first is friction and the second is the accumulation and build-up of carbon or particulate matter.  Both affect the end result, which is to maximize the mechanical performance of each weapon.  The goal is to drop the friction and minimize the carbon build up as much as possible.  The shooting industry has been nibbling around the edge to solve these problems, but has seemingly been stagnant with answers that can make a real impact.  In other words, the existing products are relatively the same, with the expensive high end products being only marginal improvements.

With an intimate knowledge of the tactical weapons market and solid relationships in place with little known key R&D/manufacturing companies, ESG was in a unique position to both understand the problems and know where to find solutions that would make a significant impact.  The technologies we have attached ourselves to are literal “game changers” for the same problems in other industries (automotive, manufacturing, drilling…).  What we did was to leverage the technologies by modifying and migrating them to fit the weapons markets.  The end result has been a "next generation" of phenomenal products.

Normal lubricants cut friction by creating a thin film wedge that separates metal surfaces from each other (i.e. bullets and barrels).  The problem is that when cartridges explode bullets out of barrels at extremely high pressures and temperatures, the same oil that is supposed to reduce friction hits a flashpoint, burns and carbonizes.  The goal of cutting friction simply does not happen for more than a shot or two. 

Our IGG lubricants are very different.  They do lubricate and cut friction, but are not true lubricants; they contain proprietary metal conditioners that are heat activated.  Our HSM (Heat Seeking Molecule) formula penetrates into the substrate and fills in microscopic gaps where points of friction exist.  IGG doesn’t burn up in high heat, it actually bakes the surface into an even harder super slick film coating.  The result is a very hard, high heat, high pressure resistant micro polished surface.  Tests have shown that the IGG metal treatment process can cut friction by as much as 85%; this is not just “a little better” than competitive products, but “magnitudes better.”

What does this mean for carbon and other particulates that originate from the exploding gun powder that want to adhere to and build up on treated metal?  Well, it means that these substances that would normally form residues and stick to the surfaces, don’t really have anything to adhere to.  It would be like burning food on a nonstick pan, it just comes off real easy.  This is why IGG produces significant second and third advantages: 1) minimal malfunctions, and 2) easy clean ups (often only 25% of the “normal” time).  Another advantage is the extra wide external temperature operating range.  We can go from blowing sands in high heat Middle East deserts to below -50 degrees in artic conditions where other lubricants freeze up, without ruining a single crucial shot.

When we say that Italian Gun Grease will improve the your weapon’s accuracy, performance and reliability we are not just saying this for marketing reasons to “keep up with the Jones”, we say it because we do it!  The best way to understand the difference is to watch the video, which demonstrates on the Timpkin Bearing machine that we are very different.  But the real key is to “Know the Difference”, and the only way to do that is to buy it and try it!

Our goal is to revolutionize the shooting industry and be the premier product for hunters, competitive shooters, law officers and soldiers.  We have simplified the product selections with “GREEN”, environmentally friendly, American made, affordable products that far outperform the competition.  We believe that each user will be a convert and become part of the IGG story.  After you use the products, please tell your friends and give us your testimonial.  Please call or email us with your ideas or questions.  Have fun, happy shooting & welcome to “the Family”!
