The ECOSYNT HEES BE 46 hydraulic oil, which is quickly biodegradable, shows that environmental protection is compatible with the shift towards increasingly demanding hydraulic requirements. The OECD 301 B standard for ready biodegradability (within 28 days) is testament to this, as are recognised European environmental labels like the Blue Angel (BA), Swedish Standard (SS 15 54 70) and the EU Ecolabel (EEL).

Both are certificates from independent organisations and are intended to promote reliable identification of environmentally friendly products. ECOSYNT HEES BE 46 was recently awarded the EU Ecolabel Category 1. This certifies that lubricants are produced with more than 50% regenerative raw materials, have CO2-reducing properties, and are readily biodegradable. So ECOSYNT HEES BE 46 not only meets the requirements for primary biodegradability, but also fully complies with additional strict environmental criteria and – as befits an EAL (environmentally acceptable lubricant) – is non-bioaccumulative and only minimally harmful to the aquatic environment.

In all cases where a readily biodegradable hydraulic oil is required or used out of conviction: ECOSYNT HEES BE 46 is ideally suitable for all hydraulic systems operating outdoors or either near or in water. The zinc-free additives guarantee maximum reliability of lubrication and excellent shear stability at both high and very low operating temperatures. Thanks to the high oxidation stability of the saturated ester fluids, the biofluid is also predestined for a longer service life if accompanied by regular oil analyses. Good news for the environment and any company that values sustainability.
