Hydro Safe Premium Hydraulic Fluids are ultimately biodegradable1 vegetable based formulas that replace mineral oil based hydraulic fluids. Hydro Safe Premium Hydraulic Fluids are formulated to perform in hydraulic systems that require Anti-Wear (AW), anti-rust, anti-oxidation, anti-foam, and demulsibility properties. They are highly inhibited against moisture and rusting in both fresh and sea water and pass both A and B Sequences of the ASTM D-665 Turbine Oil Rust Test. Incorporating the super high viscosity index of the Stabilized* High Oleic Base Stocks (HOBS) into the formula, increases the viscosity index past synthetic levels (Energy Conserving Formulas). Zinc-free additive systems have also been developed that are environmentally friendly and meet or exceed pump requirements.
Hydro Safe Premium Hydraulic Fluids are designed for use in mobile and stationary hydraulic vane, piston, and gear-type pumps and have shown to have exceptional anti-wear performance. Very little wear was encountered, 0 to 25mg (Pass), in accelerated biobased tests using Denison T-5D, Vickers 20VQ, 35VQ-25 (M-2950-S), and V-104C (ASTM D-2882), Vickers I-286-S, pump stand tests at pressures and temperatures ranging from 2000 to 3000 psi and from 1500 to 2100 F. The anti-wear performance exceeds the requirements for US Steel 126 and 127, load stage 10 in the FZG (DIN 51354), DIN 51524, and GM (LS-2). They also meet the requirements for ashless GL3 gear oils in reduction units and gear sets where they meet the viscosity ranges. Hydro Safe meets and exceeds Federal Specifications A-A-59354 Superseding MIL-H-46001D.
The super high viscosity index of the HOBS naturally improves the thermal shear stability of the formula and increases load capacity. The HOBS’s extremely low volatility increases the flash and fire safety features in the formula. They are formulated to provide seal conditioning for longer seal life and to reduce oil leakage from the system. Hydro Safe Premium Hydraulic Fluids should be used in hydraulic systems where low toxicity, and BIODEGRADABILITY properties are required. Base oils and additives in these products pass and exceed the acute toxicity (LC-50) criteria adopted by the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the US EPA. Hydro Safe Premium Hydraulic Fluids are ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE lubricants that are formulated from renewable agricultural plant resources. We believe Earth`s environmental future rests in the use of renewable materials.
STABILIZED by Hydro Safe®* is Hydro Safe’s trademark on their proprietary and patented anti-oxidant, anti-wear, and cold flow technology. High Oleic Base Stock (HOBS) are agricultural vegetable oils. This Stabilized technology allows the HOBS to perform as a high performance formula in high and low temperature applications, reducing oil thickening and
deposits.
