Arbor Oil is a compounded oil developed primarily for use in the lumber industry to keep edger arbor blades clean and free of pitch and resins. Arbor Oil is formulated with a special surfactant additive that helps minimize pitch and gum deposition that can interfere with proper movement and lubrication of the edger saws on the arbor. It has high film strength to protect saw bearings against scuffing and wear, and provides good lubricity to reduce friction between sliding surfaces. It has a low pour point for use at low ambient temperatures. Arbor Oil also may be used as a concrete form release oil. The surfactant additive inhibits the adherence of concrete to steel and wood surfaces. Applications: - Edger arbors lubricated by spray, brush or drip-feed systems
- Arbor bearings or other bearings where wood pitch, resins or gums interfere with lubrication
- Coating of wood or metal forms prior to pouring concrete
Features/Benefits:- Softens and removes pitch and gum
- High film strength for protection against scuffing and wear
- Good lubricity to reduce friction between sliding surfaces
- Good metal-wetting ability
- Good service over a wide temperature range
