Bio-Degradable Hydraulic Oil is a high-quality, zinc-free antiwear hydraulic oil specifically developed for use in industrial and mobile equipment operating in environmentally sensitive areas. Bio-Degradable Hydraulic Oil is specially formulated for reduced environmental impact in case of leaks or spills. Bio-Degradable Hydraulic Oil is nontoxic to fish and aquatic species as determined by OECD Test Method 203 1-12, and is classified as inherently biodegradable by the OECD Test Method 301B. Bio-Degradable Hydraulic Oil passes the visual “no sheen” requirements of the U.S. EPA Static Sheen Test.
Bio-Degradable Hydraulic Oil is formulated with an ashless (zinc-free) antiwear additive package to provide excellent wear protection for hydraulic pumps and motors, and to protect hydraulic system components against rust and corrosion. Bio-Degradable Hydraulic Oil has excellent oxidation resistance and thermal stability at high temperatures to minimize deposit formation and provide long service life. Bio-Degradable Hydraulic Oil has excellent water-separating properties to minimize the formation of emulsions, and is resistant to excessive foam buildup that can cause poor or sluggish hydraulic system response.
Bio-Degradable Hydraulic Oil is recommended for use in place of conventional zinc-containing hydraulic oils in applications where there is the possibility of soil or water contamination. Bio-Degradable Hydraulic Oil also may be used as a lower-cost alternative to synthetic, readily biodegradable hydraulic fluids. Bio-Degradable Hydraulic Oil meets the performance requirements of all major hydraulic pump manufacturers, and is recommended for use in all types of high-pressure, high-speed hydraulic pumps.
