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.
