Low Tox® Hydraulic Oil (6603)
Product Description
Provides Reduced Toxicity Without Reduced Performance
LE’s Low Tox® Hydraulic Oil (6603) provides superior performance – equivalent to premium hydraulic oils – with long oil life and excellent wear protection, while providing lower toxicity than biodegradable hydraulic oils. Its advanced technology formulation – with highly refined mineral oil and specially selected ashless additives – offers low toxicity, but it does not sacrifice lubrication performance or necessitate shortening of lubricant change intervals; there is no worry of premature oxidation or failure of the lubricant as there is with most vegetable oil-based products.
Beneficial Qualities
Environmentally Friendly
- Exhibits very low toxicity as compared to conventional and biodegradable hydraulic oils
Premium Long-Lasting Performance
- Performs better than conventional antiwear hydraulic oils
- Can be used without having to lower the rated pressures of hydraulic equipment
- Provides good rust and corrosion protection
- Resists hydrolysis better than vegetable or synthetic ester-based oils
- Exhibits excellent demulsibility
- Is compatible with seals
Available Grade
- ISO 68
Why Low Toxicity
One question confronting scientists in environmental risk assessment is whether it is better for a material to be quickly biodegraded and possess relatively high toxicity or be low in toxicity and biodegrade at a slightly slower rate. Lubrication Engineers believes that the latter option provides the best protection of the environment because it minimizes overall impact on the ecosystem.
