Industrial hydraulic systems
Mobile hydraulic fluid and power transmission systemsPerformance Features and Benefits
Thermal stability – Thermal stable in modern hydraulic systems working in extreme conditions of load and temperature. Spectra Hydraulic oils are highly resistant to degradation and sludge formation therefore improving system reliability and cleanliness.
Oxidation resistant – Resist oxidation in the presence of air, water and copper. Turbine Oil Stability Test (TOST) results show outstanding performance for Hydraulic Oils; low acidity, low sludge formation, low copper loss; therefore extending oil drain interval life and minimising maintenance costs
Hydrolytic stability – Spectra Hydraulic Oils have good chemical stability in the presence of moisture, which ensures long oil life and reduces the risk of corrosion and rusting.
Outstanding anti-wear performance – In addition to meeting all major global hydraulic specifications, it reduces wear, valve sticking, metal transfer and filterability issues; handles more demanding duty cycles and resists oil degradation at higher operating temperatures.
Superior filterability – These hydraulic Oils are suitable for ultra-fine filtration, an essential requirement in today’s hydraulic system.Unaffected by the usual products of combustion, such as water and calcium, which are known to cause blockage of fine filters. Customers can use finer filters, therefore achieving all the benefits of having to use cleaner fluids.
Low friction – These Hydraulic Oils possess high lubrication properties and excellent low friction characteristics in hydraulic systems operating at low or high speed. Prevents stick- slip problems in critical applications enabling very fine control of machinery.
Excellent air release and anti-foam properties – Careful use of additives to ensure quick air release without excessive foaming. Quick air release helps minimise cavitation and slow oxidation, maintaining system and fluid performance.
Good water separation – Good water separation properties (demulsibility). Resists the formation of water-in-oil emulsions and prevents consequent hydraulic system and pump damage.
