Fact File
The EnviroLogic 3000 Series consists of readily biodegradable synthetic hydraulic fluids designed for extreme operating temperatures and pressures.
The company say that because they are formulated to provide excellent oxidation and thermal properties, these products are ideal for mobile or marine hydraulic and propulsion systems operating in environmentally sensitive areas.
The hydraulic fluids can withstand temperatures as high as 150°F or as low as -20°F, and they can handle pressure as great as 5000+ psi. When compared to conventional, petroleum based hydraulic oils, the EnviroLogic 3000 Series is said to offer greater wear protection and long changeover intervals.
