Our products are formulated to have good demulsibility characteristics (splitting of water). If water is determined to be above 1000 pm, measures should be taken (as with any hydraulic fluid) to remove the water to prevent interaction with additives and base fluids.
Are EnviroLogic® products compatible with seals?
Yes, they are compatible with NBR 2 (34% ACN), HNBR (hydrogenated Buna), AU (Polyurethane) and FKM (Viton).
What is the useful life of an EnviroLogic® fluid?
EnviroLogic oils usually last as long or longer than comparable petroleum-based fluids. It will depend on the specific oil, operating system temperature and pressure.
What tests should be used to monitor EnviroLogic® fluid field performance?
Key fluid performance indicators measured in oil sampling and analysis include:
- Stay-in-grade kinematic viscosity @ 40°C
- TAN increase
- Water contamination
- Additive/wear elements
- Particle counts
How do I know when to replace the EnviroLogic® product I am using?
Always follow the original equipment manufacturer’s suggested oil change frequency requirements or conduct regular oil sampling and analysis to determine exactly when oil needs to be changed. RSC Bio Solutions works closely with customers and offers an oil analysis programs. Please contact your sales representative to learn more.
