BLASTER
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about BLASTER from 3G Electric.
What is the operating temperature range for BLASTER Air Tool Oil (SKU 822CW5)?
BLASTER Air Tool Oil (MPN 128-ATC) has a minimum operating temperature of -40°F and a maximum of 140°F. This range makes it suitable for use in cold environments or equipment that generates moderate heat during operation. The oil is petroleum-based with an ISO viscosity grade of 5W, which maintains flow at low temperatures while providing adequate lubrication at higher temperatures. For applications outside this range, consider other BLASTER formulations like the Air Tool Lubricant (MPN 16-ATL), which operates from 0°F to 120°F.
Is BLASTER Air Tool Conditioner/Cleaner (SKU 10N779) food grade?
No, BLASTER Air Tool Conditioner/Cleaner (MPN 16-ATC) is not food grade. It is formulated with mineral oil and is intended for general industrial use in pneumatic tools and equipment. The product is designed to clean and condition air tools by removing moisture, dirt, and varnish deposits, but it should not be used in applications where incidental food contact may occur. For food-grade requirements, you would need a different product line, such as those specifically labeled as NSF H1 or similar.
What is the difference between BLASTER Air Tool Oil (SKU 822CW5) and BLASTER Air Tool Lubricant (SKU 5JEY7)?
The primary difference is the operating temperature range and packaging. BLASTER Air Tool Oil (MPN 128-ATC) has a wider temperature range (-40°F to 140°F) and comes in a pour can, while BLASTER Air Tool Lubricant (MPN 16-ATL) operates from 0°F to 120°F and is packaged in a bottle. Both are petroleum-based with a 5W viscosity grade and are not food grade. The Air Tool Oil is better suited for extreme cold conditions, whereas the Lubricant is adequate for standard indoor environments. Choose based on your ambient temperature and application method preference.
Can BLASTER Air Tool Oil be used in all pneumatic tools?
BLASTER Air Tool Oil is formulated for general use in pneumatic tools such as impact wrenches, air ratchets, nail guns, and air hammers. Its 5W viscosity provides adequate lubrication for most air tool mechanisms, including rotary and reciprocating components. However, for tools with specific manufacturer recommendations (e.g., those requiring food-grade or synthetic oils), verify compatibility. The oil is not recommended for use in breathing air systems or applications where oil mist could be inhaled. Always consult your tool's manual for lubrication requirements.
How should BLASTER Air Tool Conditioner/Cleaner (SKU 10N779) be applied?
BLASTER Air Tool Conditioner/Cleaner (MPN 16-ATC) is supplied in an aerosol can for easy application. To use, disconnect the tool from the air supply, shake the can well, and spray a short burst (1-2 seconds) into the air inlet. Reconnect the tool and run it for 10-15 seconds to distribute the cleaner. This process removes moisture, dirt, and varnish buildup. For heavily contaminated tools, repeat the application. The product is not a lubricant; after cleaning, apply BLASTER Air Tool Oil to restore lubrication. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions on the can for safe use.
