Bio-Ultimax™ Hydraulic Fluids AW 1000 & 2000 (ISO 32, 46, 68)

Bio-Hydraulic Fluids, Bio-Ultimax™ 1000 & 2000, are ultimately biodegradable vegetable based formulas that replace mineral oil based hydraulic fluids. Bio-Ultimax™ 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.

Bio-Ultimax™ 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 2OVQ, 35VQ-25 (M-2950-S), and V-104C (ASTM D-2882), Vickers 1-286-5, pump stand tests at pressures and temperatures ranging from 2000 to 3000 psi and from 150° to 210° 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 GL-3 gear oils in reduction units and gear sets where they meet the viscosity ranges. Bio-Ultimax™ AW 1000 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. Bio-Ultimax™ 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.

Bio-Ultimax™ 1200LT Hydraulic Fluids

Bio-Ultimax™ I200LT (Low Temperature) Hydraulic Fluids are ultimately biodegradable, biobased formulas that were designed specifically to replace mineral oil based hydraulic fluids for environmentally sensitive and/or cold temperature areas, Bio-Ultimax™ 1200LT Hydraulic Fluids are formulated to perform in hydraulic systems that require anti-wear, anti- foam, anti—rust, anti—oxidation, 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, gives multi-grade synthetic base oil performance by boosting the viscosity index (VI) past synthetic levels (energy conserving formulas). This super high viscosity index of the HOBS naturally improves the thermal shear stability of the formula and increases load capacity. They provide additional fluid value at the higher temperatures, which is a performance benefit over lower VI products of the same ISO viscosity. The HOBS's extremely low volatility increases the flash and fire safety features in the formula compared to petroleum formulations with the same viscosity ranges. A zinc-free additive system has also been developed that is environmentally friendly and exceeds the load stage 10 in the FZG (DIN51354) requirements for low viscosity hydraulic and turbine oils. They may be used in reduction gears for cold temperature applications, where the OEM recommends a lighter viscosity or SAE 0W for proper channeling.
