Product Description
Exxon Arox EP Series lubricants are premium quality products primarily
intended for the lubrication of pneumatically operated rock drills in
underground and surface mining operations. They are formulated from high
quality base stocks and additives, which provide excellent chemical stability
and good protection against wear and corrosion. They offer an optimum balance
of adhesiveness, yet are emulsifiable enough to pick up moisture carried in
the air stream reducing the negative effects of water on wear and corrosion.
Even in the presence of water, the Arox EP Series oils have good preferential
metal-wetting properties that maintain continuous oil films. These properties
in combination with high EP characteristics help provide excellent lubrication
resulting in long equipment life.
Features and Benefits
The Exxon Arox EP Series oils provide an optimum performance balance, which
assures long equipment life and minimal maintenance, costs. Their excellent
wear protection characteristics and ability to provide adequate lubrication in
the presence of water not only reduces wear but also protects against rust and
corrosion. Their good chemical stability prevents sludge and deposit formation
reducing the need for frequent maintenance. Arox EP Series oils offer the
following benefits:
- Effective lubrication in the presence of moisture
- Reduced sludge and deposit formation in pneumatic tools
- Excellent anti-wear characteristics and corrosion protection
Applications
Exxon Arox EP Series oils are recommended for use in all pneumatically
operated rock drills in both underground and surface mining as well as in
contractor and other industrial applications. They are suitable for percussive
and rotary type tools. The five viscosity grades allow selection for
year-round use where seasonal ambient temperature variations are extreme.
- Pneumatically operated rock drills in underground and surface mining operations
- Pneumatically operated drills and jack hammers in highway construction and building operations
- Rock drills in quarry operations
- Percussion and rotary air-operated tools in industrial applications
