Aries

Aries lubricants are designed to help provide maximum protection to percussion rock drills.

They are formulated from highly refined, high viscosity index, paraffinic base stocks and additives, which provide performance characteristics expected of an exceptional rock drill oil.

Aries lubricants are formulated to help meet the critical lubrication demands of percussion rock drills. Their effective extreme pressure performance helps provide protection for the rock drill piston, rifle bar and nut against the heavy shock loads typical of rock drill service.. The adhesiveness and emulsification tendency of these oils provide a tenacious lubricant film on the rock drill’s moving parts which will not be washed off by incidental water that is common in the compressed air which drives the piston in this application.

These oils also help provide advanced rust and corrosion protection, which is important in light of the corrosive environments in which many rock drills are used.

Aries lubricants contain no chlorinated additives and are completely ashless, minimizing environmental and disposal considerations.

Additionally, since rock drills are frequently used in mining environments where ventilation is limited, the low odour and toxicity of these lubricants are added benefits.

Aries lubricants have proven to be effective in many air- operated tools, such as jackhammers, drifters, etc.

The additive package provides many performance characteristics, which lend themselves well to the lubrication of enclosed gears, and all types of industrial plain and anti-friction bearings as applicable to the proper viscosity grade.

Their tacky quality makes them suitable for once- through applications, e.g., lubrication of chain drives.

Aries 32, 100, and 320 meet the specifications of Ingersoll-Rand Rock Drill Oil Specification for light, medium and heavy rock drill oils.

• Helps provide long equipment life through extreme pressure performance that can withstand heavy shock loads, contributing to protection against rapid wear.
• Designed to help ensure reliability in wet conditions, resisting wash-out by incidental water in compressed air.
• Contributes to protection in wet environments, offering anti-rust performance, helping to protect critical parts.
• Offers reduced inventory cost by serving as a multipurpose lubricant for general purpose lubrication of gears, air tools, hand oiling, and chain drives.
• Helps minimise disposal considerations due to its ashless nature and absence of chlorinated additives.
