This fluid is specifically designed for the lubrication of percussion type air tools operating in very cold conditions. Special lubricants are required for this application to counter the sudden drop in temperature and increase in relative humidity when air expands in the tool. When the ambient temperature is already low, valves and exhausts on tools can ice so severely that they become inoperable.
Airforce Arctic PG32 is based on Monopropylene Glycol to prevent tools freezing, whilst at the same time providing excellent lubrication. It has good anti-wear and EP properties, providing protection against wear in the most demanding of systems. Airforce Arctic PG32 keeps tools working with the minimum of maintenance and unlike mineral oils does not form sludge, foam or gums. MPG formulations are not considered toxic to humans and animals and do not present a fire hazard either in the bulk or mist form.
