Why Are Solvent Traps Environmentally Friendly?

armoryden November 20, 2021

Information contained on this site is added on a regular basis. Due to the nature of the information posted, it becomes outdated rapidly. Users are therefore cautioned to independently verify the correctness of information contained on the website that may have become outdated. The info on our website is not legal advice and legal advice may only be provided by a properly licensed attorney. Armory Den sells solvent traps for their intended purposes of firearm cleaning and as dry storage solutions.   

Armory Den has been forced to temporarily suspend resources on select products that we previously sold for both cleaning and dry storage solutions as solvent traps were mentioned in the Final Rule 2021R-05F in 2022. This is a business decision we made as do not want to risk compromising the privacy of our customers. The final rule is ambigous, lacks precision and is being challenged for several reasons. Having said this, there is no way for our company to determine which ‘select products’ (temporarily suspended) that we previously sold for cleaning and dry storage are subject to the new rule or not. Although this has been a massive burden for us and an inconvenience to our customers, we do thank you for your patience.  

Thank you for choosing to support us through your purchases, we sincerely appreciate your business!

The cleaning of your firearm is vital for your safety, instrumental in ensuring that it is operating reliably and properly. Furthermore, cleaning your firearm can get messy if not correctly done with a suitable device. This is the main reason all firearm owners should consider purchasing a solvent trap cleaning kit.

Solvent traps have been known to be a handy cleaning tool for the firearm, as it helps improve safety, cleaning accuracy, and in allowing for the proper disposal and recycling of cleaning solvents. In addition, solvent traps are also known to be eco-friendly.

Solvent Traps Are Eco Friendly?

Solvents used for cleaning firearms are usually potent and poisonous, and can significantly pollute the environment. You can achieve all this by using a solvent trap that helps capture the cleaning solutions while preventing their damaging effects on the environment. Solvent traps allow you to contribute to a clean environment, and the device is environmentally safe when used as intended.

These environmentally friendly solvent traps help you do your part for the environment by allowing you to reuse, store and dispose of cleaning solvent properly, thus preventing it from polluting the environment. They provide the opportunity to preserve resources as well as save money. Throughout the cleaning process, you can also use different kinds of solvents such as CLP, lubing compound, and birthed cleaner. A high-quality solvent trap has storage cups that are well safeguarded between each cup area, consequently allowing you to keep these solvents.

High-quality solvent traps come with multiple cups that trap the chemical wastes and cleaning solvent. In addition to the solvent trap reducing the environmental impact of the chemical solvent disposal after cleaning your firearm, the cleaning solvent cannot stain your items of clothing, surrounding, and property. Another significant benefit of solvent trap is that the cleaning solution is collected repeatedly, filtered, and reused. This is not only environmentally friendly, but it also allows you to save a lot of money.

How to Install and Use a Solvent Trap?

A solvent trap kit consists of cups and tubes attached to the firearm to collect the solvent and oil during the firearm cleaning process. The solvent trap will be fastened to the firearm, and the cleaning solution will be drained into the cup. This solvent trap will prevent the liquid from attacking your skin or messing up your floor.

The installation process of the solvent trap adapter starts with fastening the trap adapters to your firearm’s muzzle. You will need a wrench to attach the adapter. Next, connect an optional solvent container by securing it onto the other end of the adapter and filling the firearm reservoir with a cleaning solution. The cleaning solution will have done its work removing any debris or dirt that might damage your firearm if left unattended. Then careful separation of the solvent trap adapter from the muzzle will also prevent you from spilling the solvent.

After which, you can wipe your firearm with a clean towel. The solvent trap would have already captured the cleaning solution, which you can then filter and reuse during your next firearm cleaning chores. Besides, you no longer have to deal with messy hands when cleaning your firearm.

The Solvent Trap You Choose Matters

Solvent traps have been around for quite a long time, and the current designs were created to make them more stylish, flexible, easy to use, and eco-friendly. Although an average solvent trap may prevent the cleaning solution from draining uncontrollably from your firearm, this is not enough from the best solvent trap. If you genuinely care about the environment, you need a solvent trap that can withstand the corrosive nature of the cleaning solution to prevent future leakage and frequent replacement of the solvent trap.

The solvent trap should also come with a material that is light and easy to handle. So, the most important properties you should look for in a solvent trap are Good Corrosion Resistance, High Strength, and Light Weight. Suppose you can find all these features in a solvent trap. In that case, you can expect that the device will provide the effect you want, prevent damage to your firearm, and block the potentially harmful cleaning solutions from making contact with your skin or the environment.

Buy Your Solvent Trap from a Reliable Company

Don’t go to illegal websites if you are looking for the right place to buy a firearm solvent trap. While purchasing solvent traps from illegal sites may seem tempting due to their low prices, the fact is you can easily be fooled and end up buying a solvent trap that doesn’t show the desired quality and durability. Besides, you can end up purchasing a solvent trap that has been modified or altered into a device that is illegal in the United States. So, it would be best to look for a reliable company that supplies the best solvent traps at all times.

The whole point of purchasing a solvent trap is to preserve the health of your firearm as well as your skin and the environment. And only a reliable solvent trap vendor can ensure that you get the best possible products that will serve their primary purpose. If you are looking for a solvent trap with environmentally-friendly features, trusted solvent trap vendors such as Armory Den are your best bet. Also, the solvent trap kits offered by these companies are lightweight, durable, flexible, and cost-effective.

Summary

To maintain your firearm, it is essential to use the right tools that ensure your cleaning solution doesn’t harm you, your firearm, and the environment. In this regard, a solvent trap is a great choice; it helps protect the environment from chemical pollution and enables you to save money as well. However, it is essential to purchase from the right vendor and choose the suitable material for a solvent trap to ensure their quality.
