Bio-Fleet Rock Drill 40, a biodegradable lubricant for the protection of rock drills, jackhammers, and other pneumatic equipment, better protects hot equipment with its higher viscosity index.
Unlike petroleum-based products, this ISO 40 weight formula will not pollute the air, water, soil or work environment should a spill or leak occur. It's safer for the environment and for those working nearby.
Bio-Fleet Rock Drill 40 includes vegetable oils formulated with Antiwear/EP, rust, and oxidation inhibitors. Designed to emulsify water for improved lubricity in moist conditions, these formulations provide extra adhesiveness and anti-misting.
It's ideal for a wide range of drilling applications including water and monitoring well drilling, soil nailing, geothermal, blast hole drilling, mineral exploration, quarry drilling, civil engineering and construction projects, solar installations, anchoring, and more.
Performance is enhanced by the use of the Stabilized HOBS’s natural composition which provides an oily boundary film. The super high viscosity index of the Stabilized HOBS naturally improves the high-temperature shear stability and fluid film strength between metal surfaces.
With a higher VI than synthetics (Energy Conserving Formulas), Bio-Rock Drill Oils have improved thermal shear stability and increased load capacity. Their extremely low volatility increases the flash and fire safety features, making them safer for employees to use. They meet EPA 21013 Vessel General Permit (VGP) guidelines for Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EALs) and should be used in hydraulic systems where low toxicity, biodegradability, and non-bioaccumulation properties are required. They exceed the acute toxicity requirements (LC-50/EC-50>1000 ppm) criteria adopted by the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the US EPA. Environmentally responsible Bio-Fleet Rock Drill 40 is formulated from renewable agricultural plant resources.
With patented antioxidants, these biosynthetics provide improved performance in oxidation stability over standard plant/vegetable/HETG and unsaturated HEES-type fluids. They are highly inhibited against moisture and rusting in both fresh and seawater and pass A and B sequences of the ASTM D-665 Turbine Oil Rust Test. Formulated to provide a longer seal life with reduced oil leakage, this environmentally friendly, zinc-free product meets or exceeds high-pressure pump requirements.
The oil is offered in 5-gallon pails, 55-gallon drums, 275-gallon totes, 330-gallon totes, and bulk tankers.
