Morris Lubricants Compound Steam Cylinder Oil 460

Compound Steam Cylinder Oil 460 is a premium tallow-compounded steam cylinder oil from Morris Lubricants, formulated for use in locomotives and stationary steam engines operating with saturated or low superheated steam up to 175 psi and temperatures up to 450°F (230°C). Produced from special cylinder stock treated with fatty compounds and tallow, it forms emulsions that spread across internal surfaces to deliver a strong, reliable lubricating film on bores, valves, and valve chests — even in wet steam conditions or where water treatment chemicals are present in the steam.

With high lubricity, minimal piston deposits, and excellent corrosion protection properties including over-wintering storage, Compound Steam Cylinder Oil 460 is suitable for cylinders, valve chests, slides, linkages, and general lubrication via mechanical applicators, atomisers, or oil can. It is recommended for heritage steam locomotives, traction engines, and stationary plant operating within its pressure and temperature range.
