Bio~Safe Series Biodegradable Hydraulic Oil

Bio~Safe hydraulic oils are premium environmentally responsible hydraulic fluids designed to provide exceptional performance in hydraulic and circulation systems. These vegetable based formulations have been engineered to meet or exceed the performance requirements of most hydraulic pump and system manufacturers, while satisfying the rigorous criteria for biodegradability and toxicity. They offer the anti-wear and film strength characteristics necessary for hydraulic systems operating under high load and high pressure. Bio~Safe hydraulic oils are inhibited for excellent protection against rust and corrosion. In addition to their excellent performance capability, Bio~Safe hydraulic oils satisfy the requirements for ultimate biodegradability and non-toxicity making them an excellent choice for hydraulic and circulation systems operating in environmentally sensitive areas.

Bio~Safe hydraulic oil meets the definition of a biobased lubricant as outlined in section 9001 of The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act (FSRIA) of 2002 (Public Law 107-171/ HR 2642) and qualifies for preferred procurement by U.S. Federal Agencies a set forth in FSRIA section 9002.
