Maximum protection against heat wear

Heat Resistant Polar Rock Drill Oil

Percussive drills develop extremely high heat, causing breakdown of lubricant protection. PolairDrill™ protects long after the competition has failed, extending tool service life, minimizing oil fog, oil smoke, carbon and varnish formation, and protecting miners’ lungs.

The difference in cost between using a conventional rock drill oil and the superior protection of PolairDrill is minimal, but the benefits include: a safer, cleaner work environment; longer lasting drills; fewer work interruptions; less mechanical intervention; reduced miner frustration due to poor tool performance, and reduced ventilation requirements.

PolairDrill’s advanced synthetic esters provide extreme wear protection, cooler running drills, extended service intervals, cleaner working environments, and economy of use.

PolairDrill™ represents a rethinking of rock drill oil performance capabilities

PolairDrill™ helps to create a safer, more productive work environment. Miners get the job done safely, cleanly, and on time.

Conventional rock drill oils create oil smoke and oil fog when subjected to hard drilling

Hazards of oil smoke and fog:  
  • Respiratory distress / injury
  • Increased ventilation demand
  • Obstructed visibility
  • Slip and fall hazards
  • Reduced tool life / service intervals
  • Oil stains on face and hands
