PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Anti-Wear Biodegradable Hydraulic
Oil (TBI) is a premium lubricant designed to biodegrade to
its natural state when subjected to sunlight, water and
microbial activity. Because it is formulated with ashless
additives that do not contain heavy metals, AMSOIL
Biodegradable Hydraulic Oil has a very low toxicity level.
AMSOIL Biodegradable Hydraulic Oil incorporates very
high-quality synthetic base oils that provide thermal stability,
even though they are biodegradable. It also contains
anti-wear additives that have been thoroughly tested and
qualified against stringent hydraulic oil standards, including
Denison HF-0, HF-1 and HF-2; Vickers M-2950-S and
I-286-S and Cincinnati Milacron P-68 and P-70. AMSOIL
Biodegradable Hydraulic Oil provides optimum protection
for hydraulics, helping to prevent pump wear and
rusting of critical components. It also contains antioxidants
that increase oil life and foam inhibitors that quickly release
air from the oil.
Based on high-quality, synthetic oil chemistry that better
withstands heat and lasts longer, AMSOIL Biodegradable
Hydraulic Oil outperforms vegetable oil-type, biodegradable
hydraulic oils, promoting problem-free operation.
APPLICATION RECOMMENDATION
AMSOIL Synthetic Biodegradable Hydraulic Oil is recommended
for gear, vane and piston stationary and mobile
hydraulic systems. It is a multi-viscosity, SAE 5W-20 oil and
is recommended for use in place of either ISO-32 or ISO-46 hydraulic oils.
AMSOIL Biodegradable Hydraulic Oil is essentially compatible
with typical hydraulic oils, and small amounts of
contamination (lines, residue) are acceptable. However, it
is recommended systems be drained prior to installing TBI.
Excessive system contamination will minimize its
biodegradability effectiveness.
AMSOIL TBI is especially well-suited for applications
where environmental contamination due to leaking or
blown hydraulic lines presents an environmental hazard.
AMSOIL Biodegradable Hydraulic Oil has been tested
and found compatible with Nitrile (Buna-N), Poly Acrylate,
Fluorocarbon (Viton) and Silicone seals which are commonly
found in hydraulic systems.
The ability of AMSOIL TBI to extend drain intervals and
excel in performance is subject to operating conditions
and maintenance practices. Monitoring by oil analysis is
recommended.
