Formulated hydraulic fluids based on Dow’s UCON ADVANTA™ Hydrolube Concentrate keep machines that perform important hydraulic lifting functions, such as elevators and cranes, working safely and efficiently. This water-based, flame-resistant, biodegradable fluid is versatile and effective enough to be used in heavy machinery in the metal processing, die-casting and mining industries.
Hydraulic fluids formulated with UCON ADVANTA Hydrolube Concentrate are designed to prevent metal corrosion in high temperature, high pressure conditions. UCON ADVANTA Hydrolube Concentrate reduces pump wear and sludge build-up, extending the life of the fluid, decreasing maintenance and fluid replacement costs.
UCON ADVANTA Hydrolube Concentrate has been classified by FM Approvals, a reputable third-party testing organization, as compliant with industrial fire safety standards. The fluid does not contain secondary amines, which are ammonia derivatives that can be irritating to the skin.
As a readily biodegradable substance, UCON ADVANTA™ Hydrolube Concentrate is easily treatable in most waste treatment ponds without adverse environmental impacts.
This kind of innovative thinking is just one example of how Dow is contributing to sustainability; for more, please visit http://www.dow.com/commitments/studies/index.htm.
