What about the properties expected from a hydraulic oil in specific environments?

For certain specific applications, the hydraulic oil must have certain additional properties.

• Low flammability

In order to limit the risk of fire, certain applications (steelworks, mines, etc.) require the use of fire resistant fluids.

• Suitability for incidental food contact

For the food and pharmaceutical industries, oils “suitable for incidental food contact” may be required.

• Biodegradability

For applications in which the oil may be in contact with the environment, biodegradable lubricants can be proposed, in order to limit the impact on the environment.
