ROCK DRILL OIL helps prevent wear in rotary and/or reciprocating tools like rock drills and jack hammers.
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.
