Fuchs Plantohyd 68 205L | Biodegradable Hydraulic Oil | 1804205

Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluid. Classified as HETG fluid according to ISO/CD 6743-4. Over the past two decades, technology improvements in the areas of high pressure hydraulic power centres have led directly to a vast improvement in the capabilities of modern hydraulic fluids. The basis for development of modern hydraulic fluids has recently taken into consideration the importance of our environment and the use of readily renewable energy sources. Rapidly accelerated research based on these criteria has culminated in the release of PLANTOHYD 68. PLANTOHYD 68 is a biodegradable hydraulic fluid, which meets the demands of a conventional modern hydraulic lubricant, with the added benefits of minimizing impact on the environment. PLANTOHYD 68 can be classified as HETG fluid according to ISO/CD 6743-4. PLANTOHYD 68 is environmentally harmless, being greater than 96% biodegradable (CEC-L-33-T-82). One of the benefits of PLANTOHYD 68 technology is that it will float on water and is easily retrieved by skimming. An added benefit is that when a spill occurs, it does not penetrate the earth to the underground water tables but rapidly biodegrades in the surface layers of the soil. As with mineral-based products, PLANTOHYD 68 has a normal operational life of around 2,000 hours. Production and maintenance costs will diminish due to improved maintenance methodology when coupled with CENT, Fuchs' condition monitoring tool.
