  Main Properties and Benefits

  • Meets environmental regulations: biodegradable, minimally toxic, and non-bioaccumulative, approved under US EPA 2013 Vessel General Permit (VGP) and EU Ecolabel certification.

  • Excellent anti-wear protection and load-carrying capacity — ideal for demanding hydraulic systems. 

  • Very good thermal and oxidation stability, helping to extend the life of oil, filters, and equipment. 

  • High shear-stable viscosity, ensuring protection across a wide temperature range. 

  • Excellent demulsibility: facilitates water removal in marine applications or where moisture may be present, reducing risks of corrosion and degradation. 

  • Compatible with common elastomers and seals in hydraulic systems, even if previously using mineral oils. 

  🎯 Recommended Applications

  • Marine hydraulic systems: deck equipment, cranes, stabilizers, equipment where fluid may come into accidental contact with the environment. 

  • Mobile, forestry, or industrial hydraulic machinery requiring high reliability, wear protection, and operation across wide temperature ranges. 

  • Hydraulic installations in environmentally sensitive areas requiring environmentally acceptable lubricants (EAL).
