Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

Advanced biodegradable and HEES type synthetic hydraulic fluid. Readily biodegradable with low ecotoxicity, particularly suited for use in environmentally sensitive areas where eco-label compliance is required including US waters. Fully synthetic esters, blended with ashless additives, provide this fluid with an excellent blend of lubrication performance and environmental acceptability.

Performance & benefits

• Good wear protectionAdvanced ashless (zinc-free) anti-wear additives provide protection over a wide range of conditions – proven protection in tough industry standard tests such as the Eaton Vickers 35VQ25 vane pump and Komatsu HPV35+35 high pressure piston pump. The excellent anti- wear properties and high viscosity index (VI) of mean that it can often be used where ISO 11158 (HM/HV) and DIN 51524 Part 2 or Part 3 (HLP/HVLP) mineral oil hydraulic fluids are specified. However, bulk fluid operating temperatures should not be allowed to exceed 90 0 C.
• Maintaining system efficiencyExcellent viscosity/temperature characteristics can minimize the changes of viscosity with variation in operation temperature, giving true ‘multigrade’ characteristics. Outstanding cleanliness and filterability, coupled with excellent water separation, air release and antifoam characteristics, all help contribute to maintaining or enhancing the efficiency of hydraulic systems.
• Lower Environmental ImpactAn environmentally acceptable lubricant as defined by the USA EPA 2013 Vessel General Permit and offers reduced impact of leak or accidental spillage into the environment when used in marine environments compared to conventional mineral oils. Readily biodegradable - biodegraded by over 60% after 28 days in the OECD 301 B carbon dioxide evolution test. Low Ecotoxicity - Classified as not harmful to when tested as water-accommodated fractions (WAFs) according to OECD test guidelines.
• Very high renewables contentA mean biobased content of 82% (ASTM D 6866).
• Fire-ResistantHFDU Fire-Resistance hydraulic fluid with a high flash point.
• Meets requirement of United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) 2013 vessel general permit (VGP)
• Fluid Compatibility Shell PANOLIN Fluids are miscible with mineral oils. However, in order to ensure that the environmental properties and performance of Shell PANOLIN Fluids are maintained, the system should be drained and flushed thoroughly when changing fluids

Standards & approvals

• ISO 15380 HEES

  Biodegradable hydraulic fluid HEES — ISO 15380

  The international standard for biodegradable hydraulic fluids; class HEES is the synthetic ester type, the most used where a leak would reach water or soil.

• SS 15 54 34 SP

  SS 15 54 34 — environmental requirements for hydraulic fluids (Sweden)

  The Swedish standard requiring high biodegradability, low aquatic toxicity, and that the finished fluid not be classified as environmentally hazardous. It is required near groundwater and drinking water sources; verified products appear on the "SP list".

• ISO 12922 HFDU

  ISO 12922 HFDU — fire-resistant hydraulic fluid

  Class HFDU of ISO 12922: water-free, fire-resistant synthetic hydraulic fluids for foundries, steel plants and mines.

• USDA BioPreferred

  USDA BioPreferred program

  US federal program promoting the use of biobased products (including lubricants) through preferred federal purchasing and a certification label.Source

• EU Ecolabel

  The European Union's voluntary ecolabel, certifying that a product, including lubricants, meets reduced-environmental-impact criteria across its life cycle.

• OECD 301B

  OECD 301B biodegradability above 60 %

  A test result rather than a norm: OECD 301B measures the carbon dioxide evolved over 28 days. Above 60 % counts as "readily biodegradable", the threshold the environmental labels require.

• DIN 51524

  Hydraulic oil — DIN 51524

  The German standard for mineral hydraulic fluids, in three parts: HL (part 1), HLP (part 2) and HVLP (part 3), by additive package and viscosity index.

• ISO 11158 HM

  Hydraulic oil, type H HM — ISO 11158

  The international standard for mineral hydraulic fluids; class HM is the antiwear oil, the ISO counterpart of DIN 51524-2 HLP.
