Description
EnviroTech® hydraulic oils are premium environmentally responsible hydraulic fluids designed to provide exceptional performance in hydraulic and circulation systems. These vegetable based formulations have been engineered to meet or exceed the performance requirements of most hydraulic pump and system manufacturers, while satisfying the rigorous criteria for biodegradability and toxicity. They offer the anti-wear and film strength characteristics necessary for hydraulic systems operating under high load and high pressure. EnviroTec® hydraulic oils are inhibited for excellent protection against rust and corrosion. EnviroTech® EAL H Series complies with the “biodegradable”, “minimally-toxic” and “not bioaccumulative” standards as defined in Appendix A of the 2013 Vessel General Permit issued by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
EnviroTech® EAL H Series hydraulic oils satisfy the requirements for ultimate biodegradability and non-toxicity making them an excellent choice for hydraulic and circulation systems operating in environmentally sensitive areas. Base oils and additives in these products pass and exceed the acute toxicity (LC-50) criteria adopted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. EPA. EnviroTech® meets the definition of a biobased lubricant as outlined in section 9001 of The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act (FSRIA) of 2002 (Public Law 107-171/ HR 2642) and qualifies for preferred procurement by U.S. Federal Agencies as set forth in FSRIA section 9002. Prior to transitioning equipment on board vessels to EnviroTech® EAL Series, the ship owner/operator should verify with the equipment manufacturer that the sealing system is compatible for use with an EAL.
