Fuchs launches new ranges of biodegradable lubricants and greases
Monday, November 10, 2014Description :
This new rapidly biodegradable high performance grease line meets the European Ecolabel and is recognized as environmentally friendly.

The new FUCHS grease ranges meet the new requirements laid down by the Ecolabel - a unique definition set up in Europe to reduce the variety of designations for fats that are rapidly biodegradable and have a very limited ecotoxicity. These requirements indicate that the content of renewable raw materials according to ASTM D-6866 must be at least 25% in the formulas; The biodegradability according to OECD 301 B must be at least 50%; Finally, the fat should not be designated as a substance harmful to the environment.

The new range of PLANTO lubricants is composed of biogenic lubricants which contain a very high proportion of renewable raw materials. These lubricants take into account the origin of the raw materials as well as the environmental compatibility. They are opposed to the older "biolubricants" that could be made from petroleum products.

FUCHS has chosen to formulate its hydraulic oils from saturated esters and selected additives. Unlike unsaturated esters, the quality PLANTOSYN 46 HVI resists aging for a period three times longer and maintains its viscosity constant over time. The PLANTOSYN HVI range meets and exceeds the minimum requirements of HEES hydraulic oils according to DIN ISO 15380 and HVLP according to DIN 51524-3.

In wind power in particular, synthetic gear oils are the only ones capable of meeting ever-growing technical performance requirements. The PLANTOGEAR S range from FUCHS is based on saturated esters and exhibits very low coefficients of friction, good load capacity, high natural viscosity index and high shear stability.

The FUCHS PLANTOGEAR S and GEARMASTER Eco 320 ranges meet the minimum requirement according to DIN 51517-3 which specifies a breaking load stage of at least 12. All these products benefit from the Blue Angel label, from the Ecolabel European, the Nordic Swan label or comply with Swedish standards SS 155434 and 155470.

Beyond the use of lubricants and greases, FUCHS offers a range of biodegradable aerosols for maintenance in all industrial sectors - automotive, aeronautics, iron and steel, railway, printing ... as well as maintenance, economic And organic like lafontaine Biological without solvent or rejection FUCHS BIOSEVEN which cleans the parts by watering, soaking with sprinkling or brush cleaning.
