BLASTER
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about BLASTER from 3G Electric.
What is the operating temperature range for BLASTER air tool lubricants?
BLASTER air tool lubricants, such as the 16-ATL petroleum-based oil, have an operating temperature range of 0°F to 120°F. This makes them suitable for typical workshop and industrial environments where pneumatic tools are used. For applications requiring lower minimum temperatures, BLASTER air tool cleaners and conditioners like the 128-ATC and ATC-S operate from -40°F to 140°F, and the 16-ATC aerosol conditioner has a minimum operating temperature of -25°F. Always verify the specific product's temperature limits before use in extreme conditions.
What is the difference between BLASTER air tool oil and air tool conditioner?
BLASTER air tool oil, such as the 16-ATL, is a petroleum-based lubricant designed to reduce wear and friction in pneumatic tools. It has a viscosity grade of 5W and ISO 22. BLASTER air tool cleaners and conditioners, like the 128-ATC and ATC-S, are formulated to both clean internal components and provide lubrication, helping to remove deposits and prevent rust. The conditioners often have a wider operating temperature range, from -40°F to 140°F, compared to the standard oil. Selection depends on whether the primary need is lubrication or cleaning and protection.
Can BLASTER Surface Shield Corrosion Inhibitor be used outdoors?
Yes, BLASTER Surface Shield Corrosion Inhibitor (16-SS) is rated for medium corrosion protection in both indoor and outdoor applications. It provides a wet lubricant film and has a maximum operating temperature of 175°F. The product is supplied in a 12 oz container. It is suitable for protecting metal surfaces on equipment, vehicles, and machinery exposed to moisture or environmental elements. For specific exposure conditions, refer to the product's technical data sheet.
What is the viscosity of BLASTER air tool oil?
BLASTER air tool oil, such as the 16-ATL, has a viscosity grade of 5W and an ISO viscosity grade of 22. This viscosity is suitable for lubricating pneumatic tools like impact wrenches, nail guns, and air hammers. The oil is petroleum-based and not food grade. It is designed to provide adequate lubrication at operating temperatures between 0°F and 120°F. For tools requiring a different viscosity, consult the tool manufacturer's recommendations.
Is BLASTER hydraulic jack oil compatible with all hydraulic jacks?
BLASTER hydraulic jack oil (32-HJO) is formulated for use in hydraulic jacks, lifts, and other hydraulic systems requiring a high-viscosity lubricant. It is supplied in a 32 oz container. Compatibility depends on the specific hydraulic system and the manufacturer's specifications. It is always recommended to check the equipment manual for the required oil type and viscosity. BLASTER hydraulic jack oil is not food grade and is intended for industrial and automotive applications.
