Air Tool & Rock Drill Oils

Caltex air tool and rock drill oils deliver extreme thermal stability, maximum wear protection and water ingress and corrosion protection in pulping and wet end operations.

Aries

Product description

Aries® is a high performance lubricant for percussion-type air tools, which is formulated from highly refined mineral oils, extreme pressure, oiliness and tackiness additives, emulsifiers, rust and corrosion inhibitors, and anti-foam and antifogging agents.

Available in ISO grades 150 and 320

Customer Benefits

Protects against wear

Extreme pressure performance withstands heavy shock loads typical of rock drill service, protecting the equipment against rapid wear.

Protects surfaces in wet environments

Excellent emulsification properties prevent water wash-off from critical areas when operating with wet air, or during hollow rod “wet drilling” operations. Effective rust and corrosion inhibitor system protects critical components in wet air or “wet drilling” operation.

Enhanced performance

Highly refined base oils with low carbon forming characteristics and special oxidation inhibitor prevent the formation of sludge and deposits which can produce sluggish valve action.
