Manufacturer's description
Divinol HE 32 / HE 46 is a biodegradable hydraulic oil based on synthetic, biologically degradable esters combined with powerful, eco-friendly additive packages. It offers excellent oxidation stability, corrosion protection, low-temperature properties and EP behaviour, and thanks to its high viscosity index it covers ISO VG classes 32 to 68 in one product. It is awarded the "Euromargerite" Ecolabel according to DE/027/109 and is listed by the distributor for DIN ISO 15380 (HEES) and VDMA 24568. The oil is designed for hydraulic units operating in varying climatic conditions wherever leakage could bring the oil into contact with soil or ground water. It is mainly used in agricultural and forestry machinery, construction and water-management equipment, and in vehicles working on landfill sites or ski slopes. Compared with products based on vegetable triglycerides, Divinol HE 46 shows significantly better high-temperature oxidation stability. When converting from mineral oil, the system should always be drained and rinsed thoroughly: residual mineral oil reduces biodegradability and, in higher quantities, can worsen foaming. Follow VDMA 24569 when changing to biodegradable hydraulic fluids, and change the oil according to thermal load and the equipment manufacturer's specifications.
Applications
- Hydraulic units operating under varying climate conditions, where there is a risk of leakage into the ground or groundwater
- Mainly used in agriculture, forestry, construction and water-management machinery, and in vehicles used at landfill sites or on ski slopes
- Change the oil according to thermal load and the manufacturer's specifications
- When converting from mineral oil, empty and flush the unit thoroughly first — residual mineral oil reduces biodegradability and can worsen foaming — follow VDMA 24569 when switching to a biodegradable hydraulic fluid
Performance & benefits
