Gulf Harmony Bio-Synth 46
Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluid
Gulf Harmony Bio-Synth series are biodegradable hydraulic oils with extra high viscosity index and extremely low pour point specially designed for forestry machinery and equipment operating in extreme climatic conditions and environmentally sensitive area like Arctic climate area. These are formulated with biodegradable synthetic base stocks and specially selected additive system to meet the requirements of modern hydraulic systems. These oils meet the environmental requirements of Swedish Standard SS 15 54 34 and ISO VG 46 is on the list of environmentally accepted hydraulic fluids by Testing and Research Institute of Sweden (SP).
Features & Benefits
- Specially selected Bio-degradable material has a renewable content of more than 90% and hence the product has WGK 1 rating according to the German WGK classification
- Extremely high viscosity index and low pour point makes these oils suitable for cold climate operation
- Good thermo-oxidative stability reduces deposit formation and improves pump & valve performance
- Excellent anti-wear property results in longer pump life and reduced maintenance costs
- Special rust & corrosion inhibitors protect multi-metallurgy components against corrosion
- Compatible with multi-metals and sealing materials commonly used in hydraulic systems
Applications
- Environmentally sensitive areas requiring fluids which are virtually non-toxic and readily bio-degradable
- High performance, heavy duty hydraulic and power transmission systems of forestry machinery and equipment operating in extreme climatic conditions like Arctic climate area.
- Other hydraulic systems in marine, construction, mining, agriculture, manufacturing and mobile application requiring such quality bio-degradable hydraulic fluids
