ROCK DRILL OIL
is an amber-colored oil made from the finest base stocks
and additives. Its original design was to lubricate rock
drills. Of course, many other uses have been found. It
can lubricate rotary pneumatic tools - - the rock drill,
as well as the jack hammer which is a reciprocating
tool. In addition, applications exist in
extreme-pressure gear boxes (industrial) and the
lubrication of machine tool ways and beds. |
Made With
Quality Base Oils
Often a
non-detergent motor oil or a hydraulic fluid is used to
lubricate pneumatic tools. Unfortunately, that type of oil is
inadequate for the sophisticated and very expensive air tools of
today. The demands of the constant pounding or hard work of a
rotary tool require a lubricant that can do a lot more than a
hydraulic oil is capable of doing. Texas Refinery Corp. uses
only the finest base stocks to make
ROCK DRILL OIL.
The base oils have been put through special refining steps to
remove undesirable characteristics that might lead to sludge or
gum. In addition, the oils have been put through a
hydro-treating process to make them more oxidation stable and
more receptive to chemical additives.
Contains
Extreme Pressure Chemistry
Contains extreme-pressure chemistry to provide protection to
reciprocating-type tools like the jack hammer. Without the
extreme-pressure chemistry, the piston hammer, chuck driver
bearing surfaces and bronze cylinder brushings would all wear
prematurely. Some of these units are operating under fairly high
air pressure to achieve the mechanical work. Good oils with
high-film strengths and extreme-pressure chemistry are needed to
handle the job.
Contains
Quality Additives
Tackiness agents have been added to
ROCK DRILL OIL
along with rust and oxidation inhibitors
and non-foaming additives. The tackiness agents are there to
keep the oil in contact with the part to be lubricated. Without
the tackiness agent, the oil would be squeezed out or blown away
because of the air pressure. The anti-rust chemistry is there
because air compressors force moisture into the air tools. The
oxidation inhibitors are there because oxygen is being forced
fed into the equipment. Under the workload, the oils would break
down quickly without the oxidation inhibitors. Of course, the
non-foaming additives are necessary to ensure a proper film of
oil. Quality oils are very hard to compress whereas an oil that
is foaming is relatively easy to compress and metal-to-metal
contact then creates wear.
Good
Industrial Gear Lube
Industrial customers have found a wide variety of uses for
ROCK DRILL OIL.
The extreme-pressure chemistry and other additives make the oil
an excellent industrial extreme-pressure gear lubricant. It
meets mild extreme-pressure requirements, which are the most
common industrial gear lube requirements. If greater
extreme-pressure capabilities of GL-4 or GL-5 are necessary,
then a product like Texas Refinery Corp.'s 890 VARI-PURPOSE®
should be used.
Uses In
Metal Working
The
same extreme-pressure chemistry makes this product excellent as
a stamping and drawing fluid for the metal working industry. It
also has outstanding slip-stick characteristics (to prevent
"leap-frog" motion of the machine tool table on its way), making
it one of the finest way lubricants available. A quality product
like Texas Refinery Corp.'s ROCK
DRILL OIL can prevent tool chatter
because of its slip-stick characteristics.
All-Around Product
Regardless of the name addressing only one application - - -
that of ROCK DRILL OIL
- - - it has a wide variety of applications in addition to those
already mentioned. It has been used as a chain and cable
lubricant, as well as a circulating fluid for bearings, shafts
and journals. It is an excellent all-around product in addition
to being a lubricant for rock drills. |
