Description
The BP Energol SHF-HV hydraulic oil range of premium high viscosity index lubricants are based on the latest stabilised zinc additive technology.
Application
Energol SHF-HV contains a shear stable VI improver which helps maintain the viscosity characteristics of the product over a wide temperature range even during prolonged use. The VI Improver also imparts a very low pour point which enables the product to be used in very cold environments. Energol SHF-HV exhibits excellent
corrosion and wear protection as well as outstanding thermal and oxidative stability. In addition, Energol SHF-HV has excellent hydrolytic stability and separates rapidly from water contamination upon standing.
These grades are intended for two main types of duty :
• Outdoor plant likely to operate in wide ranges of temperature - such as machinery subjected to cold start up conditions and high temperature continuous running. Examples include off-highway and marine applications.
• Indoor manufacturing equipment that incorporates control systems requiring a hydraulic fluid whose viscosity change with temperature is minimal. Examples include precision machine tools.
The Energol SHF-HV range is fully compatible with the elastomers materials commonly used for static and dynamic seals, such as nitrile, silicone and fluropolymers.
Energol SHF-HV is classified as follows:
DIN classification - HVLP
ISO 6743/4 - Hydraulic Oils Type HV
Energol SHF-HV grades meet the requirements of:
DIN 51524 Part 3
Cincinnati Milacron (P 68-69-70)
Denison HF-0 & HF-2
US Steel 126 & 127
Eaton (formally Vickers) I-286-S & M-2950-S
Advantages
• High viscosity index and low pour point enables the product to be used over a wide temperature range
• Good shear stability means no excessive loss in viscosity due to mechanical shearing.
• Excellent antiwear performance provides extended wear protection for hydraulic pumps. Reduced down time due to unscheduled maintenance and savings from reduced replacement part costs.
• Low deposit formation and longer oil life provides an overall reduction in lubricant costs and used oil disposal costs.
• Excellent water separation and hydrolytic stability means reduced down time through prolonged lubricant life and increased equipment reliability.
• Good filterability gives a cleaner system with less frequent filter changes.
