Chevron Aries Oils

Aries lubricants are designed to give 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 meet the critical lubrication demands of percussion rock drills. Their exceptional extreme pressure performance provides 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 provide excellent 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 odor and toxicity of these lubricants are added benefits.
