PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AMSOIL
Biodegradable Hydraulic Oil (BHO) is a premium
performance hydraulic oil designed to biodegrade when
subjected to sunlight, water and microbial activity.
Manufactured with a high quality blend of oleic vegetable
oils and customized synthetic esters, it meets the U.S.
Federal bio-based procurement guidelines as defi ned in
Section 9002 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment
Act of 2002 (FSRIA).
AMSOIL Biodegradable Hydraulic Oil exhibits high
biodegradability and low aquatic toxicity, along with superior
oxidative stability, low temperature performance and
outstanding results in laboratory and extended duration pump
testing. It contains anti-oxidants that ensure long oil life
and foam inhibitors that promote problem-free operation. It is
hydrolytically stable and ideal for use where water
contamination is a problem.
Carefully designed additives help prevent pump wear and
protect critical components from rust. AMSOIL Biodegradable
Hydraulic Oil meets the stringent Vickers M-2950-S and I-286-S
hydraulic oil specifications.
APPLICATION
RECOMMENDATION AMSOIL Biodegradable Hydraulic Oil
is recommended for stationary and mobile applications using
gear, vane and piston hydraulic systems operating under high
pressure and temperatures up to 180°F. It should also be used
where high biodegradability and low aquatic toxicity are
desired. Typical applications include construction, logging and
farming equipment, lawn and turf care or anywhere leaking,
spills or ruptured hydraulic lines may present an environmental
hazard.
AMSOIL Biodegradable Hydraulic Oil is
compatible with most synthetic and petroleum based hydraulic
oils. However, to ensure proper performance, it is recommended
systems be drained and fl ushed prior to installing AMSOIL
BHO.
