Biodegradable hydraulic oil

NEW FROM Petro-Canada Lubricants ENVIRON MV R is reported to be the first hydraulic oil to use base oils that have undergone intensive hydrotreatment, making the product easily biodegradable.

Offering a longer service life and greater utility without compromising performance, ENVIRON MV R combines selected, ultra-pure base oils that have undergone intensive hydrogen treatment with a high-quality ash-free additive system to provide  the full protection of a high-quality hydraulic oil for mobile and industrial use. At the same time, due to its easy biodegradability according to OECD 301B, it can be used in ecologically sensitive areas.

The absence of zinc and other heavy metal-based additives also makes the oil safer for the environment by minimising the risk of permanent damage to land and aquatic organisms or water resources. ENVIRON MV R offers high levels of hydrolysis resistance, which is not possible with alternatives based on vegetable oil and synthetic ester. This is because these decompose easily in the presence of water, and service life is shortened and there is a risk of damage to the equipment and of corrosion.
