Product Information
Full details
The Morris Lubricants EP22 is a premium, low-viscosity airline oil designed for air tool lubrication. It offers excellent protection against wear, corrosion, and water washout, while also improving the working environment. A key benefit is its ability to maintain component protection even under demanding conditions, though its specialized formulation means it's best suited for its intended pneumatic applications rather than general industrial use.

FAQs
What types of air tools is Morris EP22 suitable for?
It is recommended for all types of air tools, including road drills, jack hammers, air speed saws, torque wrenches, as well as air motors, pneumatic rams, and cylinders.
Can I use this oil for general industrial lubrication?
Yes, it can be used for general lubrication in industrial applications, but its formulation is specifically optimized for pneumatic systems.
What is the benefit of the antifogging agent?
The antifogging agent helps to maintain a healthier working environment by reducing the amount of oil mist released into the air.
How does the tackiness additive help?
The tackiness additive improves lubrication by helping the oil adhere better to moving parts, ensuring a protective film is maintained even under severe working conditions.
What does 'EP' in EP22 stand for?
'EP' stands for Extreme Pressure, indicating that the oil contains additives designed to protect components under high-load conditions.
How often should I change the oil in my air tools?
The frequency depends on the tool's usage and the specific lubrication system. Consult your tool's manual or the lubrication system's guidelines for recommended intervals.
Does this oil prevent water washout?
Yes, it has excellent resistance to water washing, meaning the lubricant film remains effective even if water is present in the system.
Troubleshooting
Air tool performance is sluggish or inconsistent.
Check the oil level in the lubrication system. Ensure the oil is flowing correctly and that there are no blockages in the air lines or tool. Clean any filters associated with the lubrication system.
Excessive oil mist in the air.
While EP22 contains an antifogging agent, verify the mist lubrication system is functioning as intended and not over-lubricating. Check for any leaks in the system.
Visible rust or corrosion on air tool parts.
Ensure the correct grade of EP22 is being used and that the oil is being replenished regularly. Water contamination can still occur if systems are not properly maintained.
Oil appears foamy or aerated.
The antifoamant should prevent this, but if observed, check the oil level and ensure no excessive air is being introduced directly into the oil reservoir. The oil may need to be replaced if heavily contaminated.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior protection for air tools against wear and extreme pressure.
- Effective defense against rust, corrosion, and water washout.
- Improves air quality in the workspace with an antifogging agent.
- Ensures consistent lubrication even under heavy load conditions.
- Low tendency to form carbon deposits, leading to cleaner tool operation.
Cons
- Low viscosity may not be suitable for all general industrial lubrication needs.
- Specialized formulation limits its application scope compared to multi-purpose oils.
- Requires specific handling due to antifogging properties.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This oil is typically used in automatic lubrication systems integrated with air compressors or directly in-line for pneumatic tools. Ensure the oil reservoir is clean before filling. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for your specific air tool or lubrication system regarding the correct fill level and replenishment schedule.
Compatibility: Airforce EP22 is specifically designed for pneumatic tools and air motors. While it can be used for general lubrication in industrial applications, its low viscosity and specialized additives are optimized for air systems. Avoid mixing with other types of lubricants unless compatibility is confirmed.
Care: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use to prevent contamination. Regularly inspect your air tools and lubrication systems for signs of wear or contamination and replenish the oil as needed. Although it contains an antifoaming agent, ensure your system's air-water separators are functioning correctly.
