Renewable Lubricants’ Bio-Air Tool Lubricants are specially formulated, biodegradable air tool lubricants designed to replace petroleum-based air tool oils. According to the company, these bio-based products perform in many applications, offer better natural lubricity than petroleum-based oils and are safer for employees and the environment.
Because this lubricant is bio-based, there is no danger of polluting the air, water, soil or work environment with spilled lubricant. Unlike petroleum-based products, if a leak should occur, operators can simply wipe it up and throw away the towels or rags — no reporting is required nor is expensive disposal.
The Bio-Air Tool Lubricants emulsify water for improved lubricity and corrosion protection in moist conditions. The lubricants can be fed through an airline lubricator or with a squirt directly into the tool through the quick coupling air connection. Available in 22 and 32 grades, the lubricants provide low toxicity and high viscosity, making them well-suited for rotary and reciprocating air tools such as chipping hammers, impact wrenches, air motors, grinders, reamers, drills and more.
The lubricants meet the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 2013 Vessel General Permit (VGP) guidelines for Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EALs) and should be used where low toxicity, biodegradability and non-bioaccumulation properties are required. In addition to being safer for the environment, the lubricants are safer for employees.
