High-Performance Lubricating Oils

They reduce friction and wear between moving parts of engines, hydraulic systems and tools, and protect surfaces from corrosion. The catalogue includes oils for hydraulic circuits, compressors, engines, tools and cutting fluids. The right product depends on the system or machine you use it in, and on the manufacturer's instructions.

HM hydraulic oils are distinguished by viscosity grade, shown in the name as 32 or 46. The grade should be chosen based on the instructions from the system or pump manufacturer, because an oil that is too thick or too thin can reduce performance. The catalogue includes HM 32 and HM 46 oils, as well as a specific oil for spindles. Do not mix different oils without checking compatibility.

The mixing ratio stated by the engine manufacturer must be respected, for example 1:50 for the two-stroke oil in the collection with JASO FB classification. Use a specific two-stroke oil and do not replace it with engine oil. Mix the fuel in a clean container, shaking well before filling the tank.

A four-stroke engine uses engine oil separate from the petrol, unlike the two-stroke. The catalogue includes four-stroke lawnmower oil and synthetic and mineral 15W40 engine oil. Choose the viscosity and type stated in the engine manual and check the oil level before each use.

For machining, cutting fluids and coolant lubricants are used, either neat or diluted depending on the type of machining. The catalogue includes a spray cutting oil, a cutting oil and an emulsifiable coolant lubricant. Choose the product based on the material to be worked and the machine, and follow the manufacturer's dilution instructions.

Compressor oils lubricate pistons and cylinders and must be chosen based on the compressor type and the intended use of the compressed air. For air intended for the food industry there are specific oils, to be checked on the technical data sheet and with the quality manager. Do not use a generic oil in a compressor producing air in contact with food.

Arkansas sharpening oil lubricates the stone during sharpening, improving cutting and reducing blade overheating. Tool and pump oils, including in small sizes, lubricate less stressed moving parts. Clean the blade or tool before applying oil and keep the container closed, away from heat sources.

Used oil is a special waste and must be collected in sealed containers, without dispersing it into the ground or sewers. Disposal follows local rules and waste legislation, so it is best to contact an authorised collection centre. Do not mix used oil with other waste. This applies to all used oils in your work.
