Manufacturer's description

PETRONAS Hydrocer 68 belongs to the PETRONAS Hydrocer Series of anti-wear hydraulic fluids, recommended for various mobile and industrial hydraulic systems operating under normal to moderately stressed conditions, and for hydraulic systems demanding anti-wear fluids. It may conditionally also be used in circulation, splash, bath and ring oiling systems feeding lubricant to gears and bearings, though the local Technical Service Team and/or OEM manual should always be consulted before application; for high performance anti-wear needs, the PETRONAS Hydraulic Series is recommended instead. Formulated at ISO VG 68, it provides reliable anti-wear protection, good water separability, low foaming and effective rust and corrosion protection, meeting a minimum FZG load stage of 10 and a TOST oxidation life of 1,950 hours against a minimum requirement of 1,000 hours. Grade 68 has a kinematic viscosity of 68 cSt at 40°C and 8.6 cSt at 100°C, a viscosity index of 97, a flash point of 230°C and a pour point of -12°C. PETRONAS Hydrocer Series meets DIN 51524 Part II HLP and ISO 11158 HM.

Applications

  • Various mobile and industrial hydraulic systems operating under normal to moderately stressed conditions.
  • Hydraulic systems demanding anti-wear fluids.
  • Conditionally, circulation, splash, bath and ring-oiling systems feeding lubricant to gears and bearings (subject to the local Technical Service Team's and the OEM manual's approval).

Performance & benefits

  • Protects equipment components from excessive wear and provides long equipment life, through very good anti-wear protection.
  • Maintains performance levels under regular temperatures and pressure, thanks to very good oxidation stability.
  • Inhibits corrosion in the presence of water, improving equipment life, through very good rust and corrosion protection.
  • Protects the hydraulic system from water's degenerative effects and reduces maintenance costs, thanks to very good water separability.
  • Is compatible with most metal alloys, ensuring trouble-free system performance.
  • Is compatible with most seals and elastomers, preventing oil leaks and contamination from seal erosion.

Standards & approvals

  • DIN 51524-2 HLP

    Hydraulic oil HLP — DIN 51524, part 2

    Part 2 of the German hydraulic fluid standard: HLP oils — mineral oils with oxidation, corrosion and antiwear additives. It is the most widely quoted reference in industrial hydraulics.

  • 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.
