Below are 6 benefits of using environmentally friendly drill lubricants. Environmentally Safe Drill Lubricants They are environmentally safe Take hydraulic fluid for example: • Is there a leak in your hose? • Is there run-off when you switch your hoses? When harmful products leak into our ecosystem it can harm surrounding areas, as well as the animal and plant life in those areas. When you are using environmentally safe hydraulic fluid, like what Matex provides, you will not have to worry about contaminating the environment. Prolongs life of materials Drill lubricants can increase the life of materials. Using drill lubricants can keep materials cleaner, and can also decrease the wear on internal parts of your hammer. Lubes can also, reduce pressure on the hammer, which will help decrease intense heat. Drill lubricants save time on-the-job So many drillers have had the problem of drilling a hole, removing the equipment, and then….having a hole cave-in, after it has just been drilled. Lubricants can moisten the holes, which helps prevents cave-in. In return saving you time. Ability to use in all climates Investing in products like Matex Slo-Freeze, enables you to work more efficiently in colder climates. Slo-Freeze acts as an environmentally safe anti-freeze in the drilling process. Saving money Using environmentally safe drilling oils can also save you money. With vegetable oil-based products, you wont receive fines from the EPA for contamination. Concentrated products also help save money, because they allow you to use less of the drilling lubricant. Helps control dust Viscosity of drilling lubes can help control extreme dust oninating the environment. 6 benefits of environmentally safe drill lubricants Share this: Email Share Loading...
