A Canadian heavy equipment repair service trialed Kilfrost's K400 antifreeze lubricant for pneumatic tools while operating in Northern Alberta's oil sands. The region experienced average winter temperatures of -9°C, with lows reaching -35°C during cold snaps.

The company sought a solution to prevent air tools from freezing, which previously used a corrosive methanol and lubricant mix that was ineffective. The K400 application allowed for longer equipment operation without freezing, eliminating the need for thawing.

Following the successful trial, the team invested in new impact wrenches and expects enhanced durability and lifespan for their equipment. K400 is used across various industries, providing rust protection and reducing tool wear.
