76 Multipurpose R&O Oil 46, 5 gallon pail is a rust and oxidation (R&O)-inhibited, antiwear circulating oil developed for use in circulation systems, centrifugal air compressors, geared turbines, lightly loaded enclosed gear drives and many other industrial applications. It contains a low level of ashless (zinc-free) antiwear additive for mild wear protection. 76 Multipurpose R&O Oil 46, 5 gallon pail also has the following benefits:
- Good oxidation resistance to minimize sludge and varnish formation
- Mild wear protection
- Protects against rust and corrosion
- Excellent water-separating properties
- Low carbon-forming tendency for use in centrifugal air compressors
- Good foam resistance
Application
- Air tools and other pneumatic equipment lubricated through air line lubricators
- Centrifugal air compressors
- Steam turbines and hydroelectric turbines, both direct-drive and with gear drives
- Lightly loaded enclosed industrial gearboxes where the OEM specifies a R&O type oil (ISO VG 68 and higher, typically)
- Lightly loaded plain and rolling-element bearings, such as those in electric motors and blowers
- Vacuum pumps, deep-well water pumps and machine tools
- General-purpose machinery and shop lubrication
