CASTROL Carelube HES 32

Description

The Castrol CarelubeTM 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.

Application

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 minimization of impact of contamination is required.

Carelube HES range is miscible with conventional mineral oil-based hydraulic fluids and products based on

natural esters. Draining or flushing is recommended to maximize the performance benefits of these products,

both physically and environmentally, by minimizing residues of other lubricants.

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.

Carelube HES is classified as follows:

ISO 6743/4 - Hydraulic Oils Type HEES

Carelube HES grades meet the requirements (for appropriate viscosity grade) of:

ISO DIS 15380

VDMA 24568

Komatsu G3/G4

Advantages

• Inherently biodegradable so ideally suited for minimizing 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 maximizes component life and ensures system reliability.

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

component modification.
