Air Tool Oil

Air tool oil is a type of lubricant used to reduce friction and wear in air tools. It is typically made from a mineral oil base with additives such as viscosity modifiers, anti-wear agents, and corrosion inhibitors. Air tool oil is available in a variety of viscosities, so it can be used in a variety of applications.

Benefits of using air tool oil

  • Reduces friction and wear
  • Protects against corrosion
  • Improves performance
  • Prolongs the life of air tools

Types of air tool oil

  • Mineral oil-based air tool oil is the most common type of air tool oil. It is made from a base of mineral oil and additives.
  • Synthetic air tool oil is made from a synthetic base oil and additives. It is more expensive than mineral oil-based air tool oil, but it offers better performance in high-temperature applications.
  • Blended air tool oil is a combination of mineral oil and synthetic oil. It offers the best of both worlds in terms of performance and price.

How to use air tool oil

  • Add air tool oil to the air tool according to the manufacturer's instructions.
