Keep your air tools in tip top condition.
Remember to oil air tools daily to prevent rust & extend tool life.
DESCRIPTION
AIR TOOL LUBRICANTS which provide effective lubrication and long trouble free
service life to air operated equipment are manufactured from oxidation resistant
paraffinic base oils and proven rust, oxidation and foam inhibitors and extreme
pressure additives.
CHARACTERISTICS
CORRECT VISCOSITY assures optimum misted lubricant feed from line oilers and
other type metering devices so that effective trouble free lubrication is provided to
every lubricated surface of air operated equipment.
EXTENDS LIFE to rock drills and other air tools because the special EXTREME
PRESSURE and ANTI-WEAR ADDITIVES carry the high loads at the tool head.
Metal to metal contact is avoided on heavily loaded components during the rotation
and sliding motions even when adverse conditions of high temperature and high
moisture are encountered.
MINIMISES DEPOSITS through superior RUST and OXIDATION Inhibitors and high
oxidation stable low carbon residue base oils used in AIR TOOL LUBRICANTS.
Thus, the fine clearances of oil misting orifices, valves and passages of the air tools
are maintained which otherwise if partially blocked by deposits reduce drilling speeds
and possibly promote premature equipment failure. All surface areas are effectively
protected against rust formation in the normal moisture laden environments of airoperated equipment.
ODOUR & TOXICITY ARE NEGLIGIBLE. This is a very important requirement when
exhausting oil mist in confined areas and more particularly in underground mining
where it is mandatory that the oil misting residues are completely non-toxic.
EMULSION CHARACTERISTICS (emulsibility) are delicately balanced to adequately
emulsify water that may enter the drill from the air supply thereby ensuring optimum
lubrication under these conditions. Should the demulsibility be too high, slugs of
moisture in the air line lead to metal to metal contact and thus wear as water rather
than lubricant is in contact with the moving parts. Likewise, if the demulsibility is too
low, then excessive emulsification occurs which again promotes wear as the water
content of the emulsion is too high to sustain full bodied lubrication
