What are Environmentally Safe Fluids?
Readily Biodegradable?
Inherently Biodegradable?
Environmentally Friendly?
Synthetic?
Food Grade?
Clean?
Glycol?Ester?
Vegetable?Sheen?
Two Tests:Primary Vs. Ultimate
Biodegradation
Biodegradation Reaction:
Lubricant CH+ O2 + Bugs CO2 + H2O + More Bugs (Biomass)
Primary Biodegradation Ultimate BiodegradationCEC L-33- A 93 OECD 301, ASTM D 5864, ASTM D7373 > 80% >60%
Types of Biodegradability Readily Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluids
Break Down Over 80% in 21 Days – 60% in 28 Days
Inherently Biodegradable Products Break Down… Someday … after fines, cleanup, downtime and environmental destruction!

Polyglycol Synthetic (PAG)
• Fire Resistant• Specifically Designed System• Not Compatible with Petroleum or Vegetable
Synthetic Esters (HEES)• Hydrolytic Unstable
– “unzips” with water
• Acid formation• Seal Deterioration
Bio-polyolefin Synthetic (HEPR)
• Durable• Low Cost/Long Fluid Life• Separates From Water• Good Seal Compatibility• Broad Temperature Range

Limitations Application
HETGEL 100
Varies Mixed Medium Water, Heat Light Duty, Short change out, low temperature.
HEPGEL FR 46
Weak Very Poor Miscible Incompatible with many seal materials. Absorbs moisture. Prices vary
Fire hazard, especially designed system
HEESEL 2000
Mixed Very Poor Very Weak
Hydrolyzes in water. Creates acids. Expensive.
If dry, high performance.
HEPREL 3000EL 200
Excellent Excellent Excellent Expensive Heavy duty, chance of contamination
ConclusionsMaking the determination to change to bio
lubricants one should consider many factorsA bio oil can be more expensive initially but
can save money in the long termBio oils have been proven in the field and can
perform as well as petroleum
