Extreme Pressure Lubricants

Applications depend on the lubricant type. X831 CHILL KILL is used in pneumatic tools, air lines, ports, and valves where cold weather can cause freeze-up. Dry Graphite Lubricant – Approval M971-93 is used on railroad switches, couplings, autotrack chains and tracks, tie-down chocks, hinges, internal combustion engine components, gaskets, thread lubricants, and metal-to-metal wear surfaces. De Aqua Lube is used to loosen frozen nuts and bolts, dry wet electrical and ignition systems, lubricate mechanical components, and help prevent rust.

The Dry Graphite Lubricant is certified under AAR M971-93 (Association of American Railroads) and is approved for use by CSX, Norfolk Southern, Canadian National, and Canadian Pacific, as well as all railroad contractors. It is also GSA Canadian Compliant, making it suitable for both U.S. and Canadian operations.

Yes, for the correct product. X831 CHILL KILL Anti-Frost Pneumatic Tool Lubricant and Deicer is specifically designed for severe cold-weather pneumatic applications. It maintains film strength in severe weather and eliminates freezing moisture in air systems, including around ports and valves. For precise temperature or application guidance, customers should contact Zircon Industries or review the product documentation.

Packaging varies by product. Dry Graphite Lubricant – Approval M971-93 is available in 20 oz aerosol cans sold in cases of 12, plus bulk formats including 4x1 gallon cases, 5-gallon pails, and 55-gallon drums. X831 CHILL KILL Anti-Frost Pneumatic Tool Lubricant and Deicer is available in 330-gallon totes and tank quantities with a 1,500-gallon minimum. Contact Zircon Industries at 800-547-4328 for pricing and availability.

De Aqua Lube Penetrant Lubricant is a non-flammable aerosol lubricant that dries wet electrical and ignition systems, penetrates and loosens frozen nuts and bolts, prevents rust on metal surfaces, and helps with assembly and disassembly of machinery. Users should follow the product label, SDS guidance, and electrical safety procedures before applying it around electrical systems.

Zircon Industries' extreme pressure lubricants are used across several industries, including Railroad & Transportation (AAR-approved dry graphite lubricant for switches, couplings, chains, and metal-to-metal rail components), Industrial Manufacturing (pneumatic tools, air lines, gaskets, and high-load assemblies), Mining & Aggregates (autotrack equipment chains, tracks, and wear surfaces), and Automotive & Maintenance (penetrant lubricants for gaskets, threaded fasteners, rusted bolts, and engine components).

Zircon Industries has been engineering specialty lubricants since 1970 — over 55 years of proven formulations. The company continuously invests in research and development to ensure its lubricant formulas address real-world challenges, from freeze protection to high-load metal wear resistance in the harshest industrial and cold-weather conditions.
