Morris Terralus BVG 68 Biodegradable Hydraulic Oil
Terralus BVG environmentally sensitive hydraulic fluids (HETG Type) are a range of readily biodegradable products manufactured to meet the requirements of hydraulic systems in industrial, horticultural and earth moving equipment. The range is mineral oil free and has been specially developed to meet concerns over inevitable spills, leakages and total system losses that frequently occur from burst hoses on hard worked hydraulic equipment. This is particularly important if hydraulic equipment is working where soil or water contamination is a possibility. In addition to the problem of mineral oil pollution, there is now evidence that zinc anti-wear additives in conventional hydraulic oils may have long-term harmful ecological effects. Terralus BVG hydraulic oils are completely free of zinc and all other heavy metals.
In use Terralus BVG hydraulic oils perform similarly to their mineral equivalents and are, in some areas, superior in performance. The base is a combination of natural and synthetic ester products that have excellent naturally lubricity and a superior film strength. They are specially manufactured to give low wear performance over a very wide range of temperatures, and the low pour point gives full lubrication in cold start up conditions. These additives protect against wear, oxidation, rust, corrosion, foam and improve the pour point to assist start up in sub-zero climatic conditions.
Applications:
Designed for light to medium duty systems with operating temperatures ranging from -10°C to +60°C and pressures up to 5000psi. The range is recommended as a replacement for mineral hydraulic oils, particularly where spillage or loss is inevitable. Applications include: construction equipment used near to waterways and reservoirs, ground care machinery, forestry equipment, ETC.
NOTE: These products should NOT be mixed with mineral hydraulic fluid due to loss of environmental capability and also possible damage to hydraulic systems due to incompatibility. Not suitable for construction machinery fluid drives, please refer to Terralus SB 46 for severe operations and extremes of temperature.
