Mainline Steam Cylinder Oil

MAINLINE STEAM CYLINDER OIL 

NON-STAINING 

Description 

Developed for full size steam engines operating on the national rail network and Sentinel S Type waggons where true superheat conditions are experienced on longer hauls i.e. up to 650°F. Locomotives operating under superheat conditions can cause lesser grades to form heavy carbonaceous deposits around piston rings and cylinders. These deposits, which can lead to accelerated wear, are virtually eliminated by the careful selection of base oils, additives and precisely targeted quality control testing. 

Applications 

This Rapeseed Oil free, robust formulation is able to withstand higher piston speeds, superheat temperatures with Tallow oil compounding and highly efficient surface additives to ensure water and rust resistance during operation and long after shutdown or over wintering.
