Microlon was founded in 1964 by Bill Williams Sr., inventor of the Microlon Metal Treatment. At that time Bill Sr. was working as a gunsmith on weapons and was selling modified .17 caliber ammunition used by .223 rifles. He noticed that this bullet, which used a huge charge of powder when fired, created a tremendous amount of extra heat due to friction where it came in contact with the rifling of the barrel. This friction was causing wear and was ruining new barrels after only a few hundred rounds. To solve this problem, he developed a liquid that combined a durable anti-friction resin and a cleaning complex held in a powerful suspension agent. He garnered immediate success of this product and began to realize the potential of other applications. Viewing the gun barrel as a single-stroke engine, where the bullet acted as a piston and the inside of the barrel acted as a cylinder wall, he began developing and testing a formula that would treat engines.

In 1978 he entered this invention and won the coveted first place medal "Medaille de Vermeil" at the SALON INTERNATIONAL DES INVENTIONS DE GENEVE in Geneva, Switzerland. This noted win still stands unchallenged today! In 1979 he developed the CL-100 Aircraft Formulation for aircrafts and after exhaustive testing by the FAA was granted certification for usage. Over the years, Microlon has grown in reputation as the best one-time metal treatment to use for lubricating and reducing friction in everything from jet engines, machinery, car engines, firearms, bicycle chains to pocket knives. Today distribution is both national and international.

The focus of the business remains the same today as it was 40 years ago; offer the finest products possible utilizing state-of-the-art treatment technology. Microlon believes in great customer service, old-fashioned hard work and continues to expand and improve their product lines through constant research and development. As proof of this commitment to excellence and the faith in their product performance, their complete product line is backed by a money-back guarantee.
