APPLICATION 1040 Synthetic Biodegradable Hydraulic Oils may be used in all hydraulic units where the use of a biodegradable product is preferred. All grades are intended for critical systems that demand a high temperature and high performance hydraulic fluid that is also readily biodegradable. They are particularly effective for applications where there is a possibility of environmental contamination or environmental hazard due to accidental fluid spill or leakage. The use of 1040 Synthetic Biodegradable Hydraulic Oil should be considered in unattended or outdoor equipment such as in timber harvesting, service fleets, and construction machinery or wherever ground or water contamination is a problem with petroleum lubricants.

BENEFITS ▪ Environmentally friendly ▪ Miscible with petroleum oils ▪ Anti-wear protection ▪ Rust and corrosion inhibited ▪ Wide temperature range capability ▪ Biodegradability in case of spills ▪ Available in 32, 46, and 68 grades

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 1040 Synthetic Biodegradable Hydraulic Oil, available in 32, 46 and 68 grades, offers good corrosion resistance. All grades have excellent temperature/viscosity characteristics and are suitable for operating at a temperature range of -60° to +385°F (-51°C to +196°C). 1040 Synthetic Biodegradable Hydraulic Oils are compatible with typical hydraulic seal materials and are fully miscible with conventional petroleum based oils; however, mixing with petroleum oils will reduce their biodegradability. 1040 Synthetic Biodegradable Hydraulic Oil will separate water and filter well when wet; however moisture contamination should be avoided in service to minimize unintended biodegradation.
