MOTOREX MAGAZINE 10 5REASONS WHY ECOSYNT HEPR IS THE PERFECT BIODEGRAD- ABLE HYDRAULIC OIL. 2. HYDROLYTIC STABILITY Biodegradable hydraulic oils offer decisive benefits at environmentally sensitive sites, such as in and on the water. If water gets into the hydraulic oil even when the hydraulic cylinder and components are effectively sealed, good hydrolytic stability is essential. ECOSYNT HEPR 46 has it. The reaction with water (hydrolysis) is suppressed and the acidification of the hydraulic oil is slowed significantly. “ECOSYNT HEPR's good hydrolytic stability is extremely important in the field and helps extend the life of the hydraulic oil,” says Christophe Menoud, who is in charge of the construction equipment fleet for JPF Construction SA. Hydraulic systems should generally be operated in combination with a water separation system such as ECOFIL. MOTOREX MAGAZINE 11 GO TO MOVIE youtu.be/EYr6j2pU5ss 1. BIODEGRADABILITY “More and more often we're required to work with biodegradable hydraulic oil,” explains Andreas Egger of Stephan Thalmann AG in Ramersberg. “ECOSYNT HEPR gives us a clear advantage there.” Biodegradable ECOSYNT HEPR 46 hydraulic oil conforms to Swedish standard SS 15 54 34, thus meeting the internationally recognized EAL (“Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants”) criteria. In EAL terms, this means ECOSYNT HEPR 46 is “readily biodegradable (OECD 301 B), non-bioaccumulating, and minimally adverse to the aquatic environment.” Christophe Menoud, shop foreman, JPF Construction SA, Bulle (CH) “ECOSYNT HEPR's good hydrolytic stability is extremely important in the field and helps extend the life of the hydraulic oil.” Andreas Egger, General Manager, Stephan Thalmann AG, Ramersberg (CH) “More and more often we're required to work with biodegradable hydraulic oil.
