SOLAR Optima Series Hydraulic Oils AW 37 API ISO

Description

Solar Hydraulic Oil ISO AW 37 is a high-performance anti-wear hydraulic fluid formulated from premium quality mineral base oils combined with a balanced additive package to deliver excellent protection and performance. It is designed for hydraulic systems requiring a slightly higher viscosity than ISO VG 32 but lighter than ISO VG 46, making it ideal for moderate climate conditions and precise hydraulic operations.

Available API
ISO
Applications
  • Industrial hydraulic systems operating in light to moderate conditions.
  • Mobile construction and agricultural equipment.
  • Hydraulic presses, injection molding machines, and CNC systems.
  • Systems requiring ISO VG 37 oils with anti-wear and rust preventive properties.
  • Recommended for use in climates where ISO 32 may be too light and ISO 46 too heavy.
Features & Benefits
  • Outstanding Anti-Wear Protection– Helps extend the life of hydraulic pumps and components.
  • Superior Oxidation Stability– Reduces varnish and sludge formation, leading to longer service life.
  • Excellent Rust and Corrosion Prevention– Guards critical system parts, especially in humid environments.
  • Fast Air Release and Low Foaming– Ensures smooth and consistent hydraulic operation.
  • Good Demulsibility– Quickly separates water to prevent emulsification and maintain efficiency.
  • Stable Viscosity– Provides reliable lubrication under varying temperatures.
Health & Safety:
  • Avoid prolonged contact with skin. Wear protective gloves and clothing when handling.
  • In case of skin contact, wash with soap and water. Seek medical advice if irritation persists.
  • Do not ingest. If swallowed, seek immediate medical assistance.
  • Avoid breathing oil mist. Use in well-ventilated areas.
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and ignition sources.
  • Dispose of used oil responsibly in accordance with local environmental regulations.
  • Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed safety, first aid, and spill-handling instructions.
