About Us
HYDRO SAFE, INC. markets bio-based products to industry and anyone needing environmentally friendly products. Hydro Safe® provides hydraulic oils, cleaners, lubricants, gear oils, chain and bar oils and other bio-based products. We have a proven track record for being around for 20 years and our oils have been used continuously in some equipment since 1996.
Hydro Safe products use vegetable-based oils as base fluids that are made from a renewable resource. Hydro Safe's product line was expanded to meet customer demand by adding Renewable products to our list of materials we can offer you, our valued customer. Hydro Safe® is a vegetable-based hydraulic fluid formulated to meet the growing demand for biodegradable hydraulic oils.
Our products have a proven track record having been in the market for over 20 years. Hydro Safe products can replace many petroleum products with Ultimately (Readily) biodegradable and renewable products that help protect the environment and lead to sustainability. Hydro Safe® offers excellent antiwear performance in a wide array of hydraulic applications and can be used as a superior replacement for conventional petroleum oil.

LEED Points
The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), founded in 1993, is a non-profit trade organization that promotes sustainability in how buildings are designed, built and operated. The USGBC is best known for the development of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system and Greenbuild, a green building conference that promotes the green building industry, including environmentally responsible materials, sustainable architecture techniques and public policy.
Hydro Safe’s® readily biodegradable, non-toxic hydraulic oils qualify towards LEED points under Materials and Resources: Rapidly Renewable Materials.

Research showed that vegetable oils, such as canola (rapeseed), soy and other seeds provide the desired performance characteristics of lubricity, biodegradability, low toxicity, and the best oxidative stability. In all formulations Hydro Safe provides exceptional lubricity for the purpose of extending the life expectancy of hydraulic component parts. There is an inherent advantage of vegetable oil over petroleum oil, with a Viscosity Index (VI Index), that is nearly double that of corresponding petroleum oil. Vegetable oils and specifically canola (rapeseed) oil viscosity is not as effected by oil temperature changes as its petroleum counterpart. This allows a more stable viscosity and subsequently, substantially improved stable equipment operation, less wear, increased energy efficiency and other qualities.
Hydro Safe has met or exceeded all of the appropriate ASTM tests required for hydraulic fluids. One big advantage of Hydro Safe is its oxidative stability. For example, HS Premium VG-46 tested on the Rotary Bomb Oxidation for 360 minutes. This is some of the best test results in the industry. The longer the time the less the product has a tendency to degrade.
You will note Hydro Safe's compliance relative to applicable EPA requirements, etc., as listed on the Material Safety Data PDFs on this website.
Installations include hydraulic elevators; dock levelers; hydraulic fork lift trucks; mobile cranes; railroad hydraulic uses; amusement park rides; yachts; barges; ships for power steering, bow thrusters, windlass anchors; and hydraulically operated locks, heavy movable structures, hydraulic bridges, and other applications where environmental considerations are important.
