Applications
  • Hydraulic systems in industrial, construction, and mobile equipment.
  • Injection molding machines, elevators, forklifts, presses, and CNC systems.
  • Equipment where ISO VG 46 fluids are recommended by OEMs.
  • Suitable for systems operating in moderate to high ambient temperatures.
Features & Benefits
  • Excellent Anti-Wear Performance
    Prolongs the life of pumps, motors, and valves by reducing metal-to-metal contact.
  • Thermal & Oxidation Stability
    Minimizes sludge and deposit formation, extending oil life and reducing maintenance.
  • Outstanding Corrosion and Rust Protection
    Keeps systems protected even in the presence of moisture or water ingress.
  • Quick Air Release & Anti-Foam Properties
    Enhances responsiveness of hydraulic components and prevents cavitation.
  • Good Demulsibility
    Rapid water separation ensures consistent performance and prevents emulsions.
Health & Safety:
  • Use proper PPE (gloves and eye protection) when handling the product.
  • Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes. Wash skin with soap and water after contact.
  • Do not ingest. In case of ingestion, seek immediate medical attention.
  • Avoid breathing oil mist—use in well-ventilated areas.
  • Store in a cool, dry, and shaded place away from direct sunlight or ignition sources.
  • Keep out of reach of children and animals.
  • Dispose of used oil and packaging in accordance with local environmental regulations.
  • Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for full safety, handling, and spill-response details.
