Panolin International announced that its HLP SYNTH 32 is the first eco-friendly hydraulic oil to be featured in the Bosch Rexroth RDE 90245 Fluid Rating List.
Panolin HLP SYNTH is the first rapidly biodegradable hydraulic oil to obtain the Fluid Rating (ISO 15380 in combination with RFT-APU-CL test)," said Patrick Lämmle, Chairman, Swiss-based Panolin International. "HLP SYNTH 32 has proven its worldwide prominent position amongst eco-friendly hydraulic oils."
Its inclusion in the Bosch Rexroth list means that HLP SYNTH now also bears the label of what is currently the most rigorous OEM test on the market. The scientifically standardized neutral evaluation rating process tests the behavior of fluids and the interaction with key components of the pump and motor under realistic operating conditions.
Growing power density – the result of higher working pressures, motor speeds, oil circulation cycles and temperatures – imposes more demanding requirements on the hydraulic liquids used in these systems. Modern hydraulic fluids must be carefully engineered to cope with developments such as smaller pump units with a higher output and a range of other efficiency-improving modifications to hydraulic systems.
