Product description

Castrol BioBar is a range of environmentally acceptable hydraulic fluids which can replace conventional mineral oils in hydraulic equipment where leakage or spillage may result in escape into the marine environment.

Castrol BioBar hydraulic fluids are formulated from synthetic ester base oils which are selected to give a wide operating temperature range and long service life. Extensive testing of Castrol BioBar and hydraulic system components (in particular, elastomer seals) has confirmed good compatibility with standard components, which can allow conversion of existing equipment without the need for major changes.

Applications

  • Recommended for hydraulic systems and hydrostatic transmissions which incorporate gear pumps, vane pumps, radial piston or axial piston pumps and motors

  • Recommended where there is a risk of egress into the environment in the event of spillage or leakage

Product benefits

  1. Superior biodegradation -reduced bioaccumulation* and toxicity

  2. High levels of protection given to pump and motor components, which can contribute to a high level of reliability

  3. Minimal wear of ring and vane
