Petro-Canada ENVIRON MV R 46

Readily biodegradable

• Greater than 70% biodegradability within a 28-day period according to OECD 301B, safely above the 60% minimum requirement for readily biodegradable classification

Non-toxic and very low odour

• Not acutely toxic to fish, daphnia or algae according to the United Nations Globally Harmonized System (GHS) criteria
• ENVIRON MV R contributes to a cleaner, safer and more pleasant work environment

Reduce occurrence of water contamination by metals

• Transition metal content in ground water or waste water streams is a concern because it bio-accumulates in the food chain. ENVIRON MV R is ashless and does not contain any metal-based additives.

Recyclable

• Can be recycled and reclaimed, unlike vegetable oil based products which have to be incinerated or land farmed

Excellent anti-wear, rust and corrosion protection

• Designed to deliver excellent long-lasting protection against wear, rust and corrosion
• Exceeding the performance requirements of conventional anti-wear hydraulic fluids or vegetable- and unsaturated ester-based products

Use under wide extremes of temperature

• Allows hydraulic systems to start up at temperatures as low as -36°C / -33°F (ENVIRON MV R 32)
• Provides excellent lubrication of hydraulic components at high operating temperatures
• Unlike vegetable oils, does not thicken and gel at moderately low temperatures

Superior oxidation and thermal stability compared to competitive vegetable oil based, synthetic ester products and conventional hydraulic oils

• Longer oil life, which extends the time between oil changes
• Helps reduce sludge and varnish deposits to ensure smooth, reliable operation of hydraulic valves and actuators

Excellent water separability and hydrolytic stability

• Eases water removal and helps preserve the performance of the oil over a longer period of time

Excellent foaming resistance and air release performance

• Provides consistent lubrication film to ensure equipment protection and performance
