Ardee – Rock Drill Oil
Petro-Canada Ardee Oils are specially formulated to lubricate and cool the mechanisms of air-operated rock drills. Ardee Oils are blended from ultra pure Petro-Canada HT Severely Hydrocracked base oils and a carefully balanced set of lubricant additives to give the best possible performance in tough rock drill applications.
Petro-Canada Ardee Oils are designed for use in pneumatic percussion equipment operated at high cubic feet per minute (CFM) air flow rates. They can also be used in all types of equipment lubricated with in-line oilers. Ardee Oils meet or surpass the following equipment manufacturers’ rock-drill oil specifications for specific viscosity grades: Ingersoll-Rand, Joy and Worthington. Applications include the lubrication of pneumatic equipment used for mining and tunnelling, jack-hammers, riveters, pavement breakers, tampers and other construction equipment. Both Ardee 32 and 100 have been used successfully in water injection plunger pumps. They work well because of the presence of a tackifier and rust and corrosion inhibitors in the formulation.
Ardee 32, 46, 68, 100, 150, 220
Features and Benefits
- High film strength and lubricity
Reduces scoring failures during sudden
high pressure sliding
Minimizes wear due to repeated heavy
loading
EP protection prevents welding or
scoring under constant shock loading
- Long-term rust and corrosion protection
Protects iron parts from rusting during
constant exposure to moisture
Reduces chemical attack on bronze or
brass components
- Good emulsifying characteristics
Maintains a continuous lubricant film on
metal surfaces
Reduces water from displacing the
lubricant and wetting the metal surface
- Excellent adhesive properties
Oil sticks firmly to cylinder walls and
other drill parts under the most adverse
conditions
Constant oil film minimizes wear to
cylinders and other drill parts
- Low misting tendency
Reduces undesirable misting
Lowers oil consumption
- Resists forming carbon at high
temperatures
Lowers tendency of drills to diesel
(to combust) during severe operations
