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 flushed prior
to installing AMSOIL BHO.
