Description
PANOLIN HLP SYNTH is a fully synthetic, high-performance, readily biodegradable, non-toxic hydraulic fluid made from saturated esters. It is combined with high-grade additives, is zinc-free, is environmentally friendly, and is available for a wide variety of applications.
PANOLIN HLP SYNTH is a 100 % synthetic saturated ester hydraulic oil complying with VDMA 24568, (synthetic esters insoluble in water), and the ISO 15380 HEES classification.
What makes PANOLIN HLP SYNTH better?
- Leaves no rainbow sheen when spilled in water
- Oxidation resistant at high temperatures, prevents gumming and deposits of ageing products (shellac)
- Extremely long oil-change interval; considered to be lifetime-fill; decreased downtime and maintenance costs
- Outstanding high-pressure characteristics
- Excellent cold-flow characteristics; extremely low pour point of –60 °C/–76 °F
- Excellent corrosion and wear protection
- Does not affect state-of-the-art sealing materials
- Proven Records: 30 - year pedigree with over 1-billion operating hours of experience
- Has passed tests 10 times longer than the ASTM D 2070 test requires
- Fine Filtered to 5 μm, (ISO 4406 = 19/16/13)
- Promotes your environmentally considerate «green» image
Where can I use PANOLIN HLP SYNTH?
- Earthmoving and Forestry hydraulic systems
- Industrial and Construction hydraulic Equipment
- Hydro Electric hydraulic Equipment
- Offshore and Subsea hydraulic Equipment
- Compressors, bearing lubrication and oil circulation systems
- Plastic Injection Molding Machines (field tested well over 100 000 hours without any oil changes)
What is biodegradability?
PANOLIN HLP SYNTH is readily biodegradable, meaning it is fully decomposed by soil and water microorganisms. These microorganisms consume the oil, leaving natural substances like carbon dioxide, water and mineral salts in its place.
What tests and standards are there for biodegradability?
According to well-known eco standards eg. Swedish Standard, European Eco Label:
- ASTM D 5861 (EM 1110-2-1424)
- Method OECD 301B, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)
- Method EPA 560/6-82-003, number CG-2000, adapted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Test and Test Method is exactly the same as the OECD 301B Test (resp. ISO 9408)
These tests determine the rate and extent of aerobic aquatic biodegradation under laboratory conditions.
What are the United States EPA Standards and regulations for hydraulic fluids?
According to the Army Corps of Engineers EM 1110-2-1424:
- The environmental impact is cumulative and consequently harmful to plant, fish and wildlife
- There must be no visible oil sheen evident if spilled, and the point of use discharges should not exceed 10ppm
What certifications do PANOLIN HLP SYNTH/ PANOLIN HLP SYNTH E hold?
- ASTM D-6046-98a: PW1, TW1, TS1
- Biodegradability (average): > 60 % to OECD 301 B, within 28 days
- USA: USDA BioPreferred
- Austria: ÖNORM part 5
