CASTROL Carelube HES 46

Description The Castrol Carelube ™ HES hydraulic oil range are based on carefully selected synthetic esters, which are highly biodegradable and recommended for use in situations where leakage or spillage may present a risk of harm to the environment. Applications The Carelube HES range is used as a hydraulic oil for applications in environmentally sensitive areas such as; near or on waterways, and in the agriculture, forestry, mining and construction industries. The range may also be used for machine tool hydraulic systems where ester based soluble cutting fluids are being utilized and minimisation of impact of contamination is required. Carelube HES range is miscible with conventional mineral oil-based hydraulic fluids and products based on natural esters but, in order to maximise the performance benefits of these products - both physically and environmentally, either through draining or flushing to minimise residues of other lubricants is recommended . This range is fully compatible with the elastomer materials commonly used for static and dynamic seals, such as nitrile, silicone and fluorinated (e.g. Viton) polymers. Advantages

• Inherently biodegradable so ideally suited for minimising the impact to the environment should leakage occur (note: local legislation / regulations regarding the clean up of oil leakage / spills should always be followed).

• Environmentally friendly with low aquatic toxicity - rated WGK 1.

• Very high viscosity index gives reliable operation and consistent response across wide temperature ranges. Maximum component protection at cold start-up and at elevated temperatures.

• Excellent anti-wear performance and lubricity maximises component life and ensures system reliability.

• Seal, diaphragm and hose material compatibility similar to that of mineral oil, allowing easy changeover without component modification.
