| 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 for ROCK DRILL OIL exist in extreme-pressure
gear boxes (industrial) and the lubrication of machine tool ways and beds. |
ROCK DRILL OILIs
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.
ROCK DRILL OILContains
Extreme Pressure Chemistry
ROCK DRILL OIL
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.
ROCK DRILL OILContains
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.
ROCK DRILL OILIs
A 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.
ROCK DRILL OILHas
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.
ROCK DRILL OILIs
An 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. |
