ECOSURE EAF is a range of environmentally acceptable, anti-wear hydraulic fluids. These HEES fluids are based on renewable esters and use state-of-the-art ashless, zinc-free additive technology. This range of products meets the requirements stipulated in ISO 15380 for Environmentally Acceptable Hydraulic Fluids.
For water tight doors, ramps, platforms, davits, cranes, winches and capstansFor water tight doors, ramps, platforms, davits, cranes, winches and capstans.
ECOSURE EAF meets the detailed ecological definitions and requirements laid down in the 2013 Vessel General Permit (VGP) published by the US EPA in March 2013.
The ECOSURE EAF hydraulic fluid, based on synthetic esters, is typically used in water tight doors, ramps, platforms, davits, cranes, winches and capstans where there is potential for fluid loss to occur to the marine environment.
ECOSURE EAF has been strongly recommended by several OEMs for its superior performance properties in critical applications below the waterline and meets the environmental requirements of Swedish Standard 15 54 34.
ECOSURE EAF achieves a biodegradability of greater than 60% in the 28 day OECD 301B test. These products are considered non-toxic in the marine environment based on the following results:
| FEATURE | BENEFITS |
| Extended fluid life | Fewer fluid changes, less equipment downtime and lower overall cost of ownership |
| Improved lubricity | Less wear and longer pump life |
| Wider operating temperatures | Protects equipment from -35°C to over +100°C |
| Good hydrolytic stability | Resists breakdown of the lubricant by water in high temperature situations |
| Good oxidative stability | Less sludge and system failures, longer fluid life and less fluid thickening |
| Good thermal stability | Less fluid thickening and system failures due to lower levels of corrosive decomposition products |
| Superior demulsification | Excellent water separation allowing easy removal of water and reduced pump wear |
| Good VI | Fluid remains within the desired viscosity over a broader temperature range |
| Good shear stability | Less viscosity loss, fewer fluid changes and prolonged pump life |
| Good seal compatibility | Less leakage and less equipment downtime |
| Good long term filterability | Less filter blockage and less equipment downtime |
| Biodegradable and minimally toxic | Lower environmental risk |
