Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

Eni Arnica V is a biodegradable hydraulic fluid obtained from particularly selected and refined esters of vegetable origin, intended for those applications where the problem of environmental pollution is prevalent and where there is a risk of accidental spills from machinery towards the environment. The high viscosity index allows its use in a particularly wide range of ambient temperatures. Moreover, compared to other product classes, it has a higher flash point, a useful safety feature in the workplace. Eni Arnica V is biodegradable over 60% according to OECD test 301B. We recommend the use of the product in systems where the maximum internal temperature of the hydraulic circuit does not exceed 60 °C. In exceptional cases and for short periods of time a temperature up to 70 °C is tolerated.

Applications

• Biodegradable hydraulic fluid obtained from specially selected and refined vegetable-origin esters, for applications where environmental pollution is a concern and where machinery may accidentally spill into the environment.
• The high viscosity index allows use across a particularly wide range of ambient temperatures, and it has a higher flash point than other product classes, a useful workplace safety feature.
• More than 60% biodegradable according to OECD test 301B.
• Recommended for systems where the maximum internal temperature of the hydraulic circuit does not exceed 60°C; up to 70°C is tolerated in exceptional cases and for short periods.

Performance & benefits

• Excellent demulsibility, effectively preventing the formation of stable emulsions with water and avoiding depletion of the lubricant.
• Excellent corrosion and rust protection for the metal parts present in the circuit.
• Good anti-foam characteristics, preventing the resulting malfunctioning of hydraulic plants.
• Compatible with the seal materials generally used in hydraulic systems.
• Excellent anti-wear properties, proven by the FZG test above stage 12.
