CASTROL Performance Bio HE 32
Biodegradable hydraulic oil
Application CASTROL Performance Bio HE 32
Performance Bio HE is intended for use in all hydraulic systems, where there is a risk that leaking fluid will contaminate ground water and the sewage system, such as in earthmoving machinery, refuse collection lorries, agricultural and forestry machinery, rail vehicles, presses and wrapping machines. Thanks to the carefully selected base oil, it can be used up to +120 °C. The viscosity index has a high value which means that the viscosity of the product depends relatively little on the temperature. The environmentally friendly nature, measured according to the CEC L-33-A-93 test is >90%. Performance Bio HE is not miscible with water. Performance Bio HE is miscible with hydraulic fluids based on mineral oil and vegetable or synthetic esters. Nevertheless, when switching from mineral oil based hydraulic fluids to Performance Bio HE it is recommended to empty the system completely as mixing with mineral oil reduces biodegradability and may lead to foaming problems. Performance Bio HE meets the requirements according to VDMA 24568 for a HEES (Hydraulic Environmental Ester Synthetic).

Castrol BioTac MP
CASTROL BioTac MP
Environmentally responsible multipurpose EP grease
Unfortunately no longer available
We recommend this replacement Shell Naturelle Grease S2 A600P 1.5
Application CASTROL BioTac MP
BioTac MPTM has been developed primarily for use on exposed marine deck applications and combines excellent physical properties that enable resistance to both mechanical shear and water spray-off with an additive system developed to protect exposed components from corrosion, oxidation and the effects of load, friction and wear. BioTac MPTM is intended for use in a wide range of applications including plain bearings, wire ropes and open gears typically found in marine mooring and cargo winches. Furthermore, ramp door bearings, pedestal bearings and cargo hatch rollers are also examples of slow/medium speed marine deck applications for which BioTac MPTM is ideally suited. The combination of thickener and base oil technology enables BioTac MPTM to have a broad operating temperature range of between -35C and +125C.

Biodegradable Lubricants: Environmentally Friendly Options
Biodegradable lubricants have a lesser impact on the environment. These lubricants can be quickly broken down, at least 80%, according to CEC L-33-A-93, into environmentally harmless inorganic compounds.
Switching to Biodegradable Lubricants
Are you active in vulnerable environmental areas and aware of the impact of lubricants, or does the type of oil you use need to meet certain standards? Then biodegradable fats and oils can be the solution for you. Feel free to contact us for switching advice. Olieonline's biodegradable lubricants meet strict safety requirements. Order them easily and quickly at OlieOnline.nl. Do you have a question about biodegradable lubricants or are you unsure which type to buy?

What is Biodegradability?
Actually, that is not the definition of biodegradable. Biodegradable materials are defined as materials that break down over time into their components. The crucial question is how much time, as almost any material used in lubricants will break down given enough time. Furthermore, biodegradability by itself is not necessarily beneficial unless it is also non-toxic. An example of this is materials containing ethylene glycol. Ethylene glycol is one of the most biodegradable materials on earth, as it breaks down into its components within 24 to 36 hours due to exposure to air and sunlight, but it is also one of the most toxic materials for animals. Be careful what you ask for, as there are many suppliers claiming biodegradability but not defining other properties. Vegetable oils are good materials to work with, but they do not meet market requirements for every application.
Questions and Answers
What are the benefits of biodegradable lubricants for the environment?
Biodegradable lubricants contribute to reduced environmental impact because they are quickly broken down into harmless compounds, reducing their impact on the environment.
Why is biodegradability alone not sufficient for lubricants?
Biodegradability by itself is not sufficient because the material must also not be toxic. Some substances can break down quickly but are highly toxic to humans and the environment, so other properties must also be considered when choosing lubricants.
Where can I buy Biodegradable Lubricants?
The easiest and most cost-effective way is online! OlieOnline delivers all globally known biodegradable lubricants throughout the entire Benelux. They specialize in biodegradable lubricants, buy directly from the wholesaler now.
