Lubritherm All-Temp Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluid
Occupational Health and Safety Details
Lubritherm® Hydraulic Fluid contains safe-to-use biodegradable chemistry that promotes the safety of human, animal, aquatic, and plant life with other basal organisms. Lubritherm has been examined, approved, and certified by Environment Canada via the "Environmental Choice Program". www.environmentalchoice.com
From a safety point of view, Lubritherm hydraulic fluid, when accidentally discharged from a leaking joint or burst hose, can be safely walked on whether it's on concrete, steel, or any other type of flooring. Lubritherm's molecule is attracted to all metals but ignores footwear which is non-metallic.
Lubritherm's molecular arrangement is a flatted matrix, like an interwoven floor mat, wherein the various chemical molecules come together in a plane of interlaced molecules that have a tight molecular bond. Oil based products have a spherical molecule like little ball bearings, walk on oil or most synthetic hydraulic fluids and you will probably have an accident.
Lubritherm is fireproof and will not propagate as fuel when touching a hot engine manifold or open flame.
"Hazmat" does not need to be involved in case of a spill of Lubritherm hydraulic fluid (see MSDS). Lubritherm can be safely flushed 'down-the-drain', whether that be down a street drain which leads to a waterway or sewer, or in a factory when spilled on the floor, or into a river or lake, or straight on the soil. Lubritherm Hydraulic Fluid's official ISO Ecotoxicity Classification is "Practically Non-Toxic" and "Absolutely Non-Toxic to Wastewater Treatment Plant bacteria" (It's safe like hair shampoo).
Lubritherm's hydraulic fluid compression, lubrication and cooling is provided through environmentally safe organic chemicals which handle extreme pressure and temperature environments better than any other known hydraulic fluids. Lubritherm is stable and will not change in its molecular matrix structure and cannot separate in its working environment. Lubritherm hydraulic fluid intentionally contains some water, along with propylene glycol and other safe organic chemistry within its environmentally safe and approved hydraulic fluid formulation, for ideal operation. Other oil and synthetic hydraulic fluids tend to breakdown in their additives due to heat, moisture absorption from condensation, leakage, etc.
Lubritherm Hydraulic Fluid has a field-test proven operating life of at 8 years (30,000+ hours) without fluid replacement required, operating in severe environments from -70°F to 175°F (-60°C to 80°C), and under continuous pump pressures anywhere from 15 psi to 6,000+ psi.
