The sds has" C12-C13 n-paraffin is a clear colourless hydrocarbon liquid, flammable and odourless"
Paraffin is a wax, from petroleum.
They may be trying to copy Break Free CLP, a military spec Synthetic oil with teflon. A better CLP .

I really like Break Free CLP in my 22's but would be willing to give this other one a try of someone wants to send me a sample.

That's what it looks like to me... a copycat CLP. I stick with the real stuff...
I'll stick with the real thing. It has worked for GI's for a long time, including myself.

They lost me at bio-synthetic 
Run your breakthrough CLP in your Chinese Coat or Ruber pistol. Or your Smith & Webson.

For the most part, we worry too much about lubricants for firearms. A lot of people consider RemOil to be pretty crappy, but it's served millions of gun owners fine. And a lot of firearm owners just use regular motoroil. Or 3-1 oil. Then there's the oil vs grease debate. And I've yet to see any firearm failure confirmed do to the wrong type of lubricant.
Many (probably most) people wont ever put 10,000 rounds through any single firearm. But 10,000 revolutions is completed in your car's engine in about 3-5 minutes of driving with far more stress and heat. Point is, in the grand scheme of things they aren't really high-wear items and an unknown/untested lubricant is probably fine to use.

To be fair, a car has a pressurized lubrication system with a filter to keep out contamination. This keeps friction to a minimum.
I like a lubricant that stays put and doesn't easily dissipate when components get hot or stressed. A CLP doesn't do that very well but for it's intended purpose, it does the job.

Interesting choice of name. Maybe it's a good product, but the name suggests they might be trying to ride on Break Free's coattails.

How not? Kind of like the Westerly Richardson shotguns of old.
If you were in England, it would be kerosine.
But chemically, paraffin is a chain hydrocarbon in petroleum. Gaseous methane is technically a paraffin.

Yes a car has a much more complex lubrication system, but it also sees exponentially more use.
And I tend to agree that CLP isn't great for the reasons you mentioned, but yeah it also does the job like you said. Most firearms don't really see that much wear for it to matter. It might be different if one of us had a Ma Deuce we were planning on taking through several wars....
