ACCUFLO™ TK oils are specially formulated to lubricate the slideways of machine tools and maintain smooth, uninterrupted operation. They may be applied to linear and rotating guideways, table elevating slideways on milling machines, lead-screw- and-nut systems, feed gears, milling heads, and lathe saddles.

ACCUFLO™ TK oils eliminate “stick-slip” or chatter on machine tables and contain inhibitors to protect ferrous and copper components against corrosion. Their unique zinc-free formulations provide excellent film strength, lubrication properties and machine table accuracy. They are highly tacky to resist removal by synthetic coolants and soluble oils. This cuts the consumption of lubricant and the generation of tramp oil which, in turn, improves coolant management.

ACCUFLO™ TK 68 is recommended for horizontal slides and moderately loaded machine tools. It is GM LS2 approved and is approved against Fives-Cincinnati Machine specification P-47. ACCUFLO TK 68 is approved for use in Bijur systems as it has passed Bijur’s filtration test #2107.

ACCUFLO™ TK 220 is recommended for vertical slides and heavy-duty machine tools such as planers and boring mills. It is GM LS2 approved and is approved against Fives-Cincinnati Machine specification P-50.

Typical characteristics are shown below:

PC WAYLUBE 68 is formulated for the lubrication of the slideways of modern machine tools. It meets the stick-slip ratio requirements of Fives-Cincinnati Machine specification P-47 and is GM LS2 approved.

Where greater oil adhesion is required, such as with vertical ways, we recommend Petro-Canada Lubricants ACCUFLO™ TK machine tool lubricants.

The visual appearance is lighter and is a more clear yellow liquid (<2.0 on the ASTM Color Scale).

ARDEE™ oils are formulated to lubricate and cool the mechanisms of air-operated rock drills. ARDEE™ is an environmentally friendly rock drill oil with chlorine-free and zinc-free additive chemistry that helps minimize the environmental footprint of used and waste oils. They are ideal for use in equipment running in demanding situations with high air-flow rates, drill shock-loading, and high piston temperatures. There are six viscosity grades to meet temperatures ranging from -35°C / -31°F to 45°C / 113°F. ARDEE™ 32 is recommended for low temperatures and/or winter conditions. ARDEE™ 68 to 150 are recommended for underground operations, with the 150 grade being favored in SECAN drills and in mining operations targeting reduction of oil consumption and misting. ARDEE™ 220 is recommended for use in open pit operations using drills with a bore larger than 10 cm / 4 inches during the summer or under warmer conditions.

ARDEE™ 32 is recommended for use in plant air-line lubricators, especially where the air is water laden.

Petro-Canada Lubricants DURATAC™ Oils are an economical, tacky, “once- through” line of lubricants for use in hand oiling of drive chains, log decks, and waste conveyors. They are also recommended for infeed and other sawmill chains, chain saw bars, and in lubricating leaky, slow-speed journal bearings. These products are formulated with a tackiness additive which helps to reduce dripping and throw-off during use.

DURATAC™ Chain Oil 32 is dyed red and formulated for use in the winter at low temperatures. DURATAC™ Chain Oil 150 is also dyed red and formulated for use in the summer.

Typical characteristics are shown below:

PETRO-CANADA BAR & CHAIN OILS are designed specifically for use in chainsaws and timber harvesters.

PETRO-CANADA BAR & CHAIN 32 is formulated for use in late fall, winter, or early spring seasons due to its lower viscosity properties and pour point of -42°C (-44°F).

PETRO-CANADA BAR & CHAIN 150 is formulated for use in warmer seasons due to its high viscosity properties.

Because rapid chain wear can occur from insufficient lubrication, chain oiler reservoirs should be kept full and the oiler pump checked regularly.

Before installing a new chain, soak it first for a few hours in a clean container filled with PETRO-CANADA BAR & CHAIN OIL. This allows the lubricant to penetrate all the linkage points and prevent wear and rust.

The values quoted above are typical of normal production. They do not constitute a specification.

Petro-Canada Lubricants PETROGLIDE™ saw guide oils are specially designed for use with modern multi-blade gang saws and edgers to provide increased recovery rates and sawmill productivity.

PETROGLIDE™’s specially formulated additive package gives it the characteristics required for excellent saw guide lubrication. Its surface wetting, coupled with good water separability and tackiness, helps to hold it in place without causing excessive sawdust clumping. PETROGLIDE™ has excellent extreme pressure properties and Pitch Control additives to reduce friction and metal to metal contact, decreasing heat build-up and wear on both saw guides and blades. PETROGLIDE™’s blend of additives help to ensure a good cut, as well as a long saw guide and blade life. It also minimizes rusting throughout the operation cycle while reducing saw deviation and maximizing on-spec board production.

PETROGLIDE™ ELV is a low viscosity formulation designed to emulsify with water for enhanced cooling efficiency and helps reduce friction. Protect from freezing and store at temperatures from 10 °C to 30 °C.

Typical characteristics are shown below:

Petro-Canada Lubricants PETROGLIDE™ MC 32 is a premium quality bandsaw oil specially designed for mist lubricated bandsaws. Pitch control additives and rust inhibitor keep blades cleaner. Its tackiness and mist control are carefully balanced to effectively lubricate without excessive stray mist, which help to minimize oil usage and contribute to a cleaner environment.

PETROGLIDE™ MC 32 may also be used in oil/water saw lubrication and cooling systems which require a saw guide oil with an ISO 32 grade.

Petro-Canada Lubricants’ SEPRO™ XL PAPER MACHINE OILS are designed to offer reliable performance in both dry and wet ends of paper machine circulating systems. SEPRO™ XL paper machine oils are based on highly refined, high-quality base oils and a specially selected zinc-free additive chemistry. They provide outstanding anti-wear properties, excellent water separation as well as good oxidative and thermal stability for better and longer equipment protection against wear, rust and corrosion. SEPRO™ XL will help minimize unscheduled downtime and increase equipment life.

Petro-Canada Lubricants’ SEPRO™ XL paper machine oils are suitable for use where the following paper machine OEM specifications are required: Voith VS 108 for dry and wet ends, Valmet RAU4L00659-06 for dry and wet ends, Valmet RAUAH02724-02 for zone-controlled rolls and SKF Specifications for Bearings in Dryer Sections of Paper Machines.

SUPER VAC Fluids are specially designed to cool, lubricate and provide a seal in piston and rotary-vane air vacuum pumps. Blended with high quality base oils and incorporating a unique additive system, SUPER VAC Fluids allow for extremely low vapour pressures which help to maximize vacuum efficiency. These fluids have exceptional resistance to high-temperature breakdown and deliver extended lubricant life under severe operating conditions when compared to straight base oil. They can be used at higher operating temperatures (100-130°C / 212-266°F) at reduced service life.

Besides handling air, SUPER VAC Fluids may also be used with the following gases: nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, argon, neon and helium. They should not be used in pumps handling aggressive vapours, such as nitric acid, sulfuric acid, chlorine, hydrogen sulfide or glacial acetic acid.
