Chevron Saw Guide Oil is manufactured using naphthenic oils and specially selected additives balanced to reduce friction between saw and guide components in thin kerf saw equipment. These additives inhibit rust formation and pitch and resin deposits.

Oiliness properties provide excellent film strength for boundary lubrication conditions. Chevron Saw Guide Oil has tackiness properties to enable the lubricants to cling to saw components. Chevron Saw Guide Oil is designed to promote longer saw blade life in thin kerf saw equipment, when operating in severe service and reduced cooling water modes.

Chevron Saw Guide Oil solvency properties remove pitch and resin deposits, which can accumulate and create excessive temperatures.

The oil’s lubricity promotes longer saw bearing life and minimizes rust and corrosion problems, while reducing friction to allow much cooler operation.

Applications

Chevron Saw Guide Oil is specifically formulated to lubricate modern thin kerf sawing systems. Its physical properties have been tailored to meet the severe requirements of this application.

Chevron Saw Guide Oil meets or exceeds the performance requirements of most saw system manufacturers, including CAE (Newnes, McGehee), Optimil, Salem, TMT, Ukiah, and USNR (Kockums CanCar, Schurman).

The additives in these products react adversely with zinc. Do not use galvanized pipe or pot metal with these products.
