Mobil SHC Aware™ H Series
U.S. EPA 2013 Vessel General Permit Compliant Hydraulic Oil
Product Description
Mobil SHC Aware™ H Series lubricants are high performance, anti-wear hydraulic oils for modern high pressure hydraulic systems that meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 2013 Vessel General Permit (VGP) guidelines for “environmentally acceptable lubricants”. They provide excellent wide temperature range performance above ａnd beyond the capabilities of non-synthetic environmentally acceptable oils. Mobil SHC Aware H Series oils are specially formulated from ester base stocks ａnd provide exceptional anti-wear ａnd film strength characteristics necessary for hydraulic systems operating under high load ａnd high pressures.
Features ａnd Benefits
- Meets US EPA 2013 Vessel General Permit requirements for environmentally acceptable lubricants
- Outstanding load-carrying ａnd anti-wear properties which protects system components against wear ａnd scuffing ａnd helps provide long equipment life
- Shear stable high viscosity index help sustain component protection over a wide temperature
- Excellent thermal /oxidation stability that can help reduce maintenance downtime ａnd costs by contributing to system cleanliness ａnd deposit reduction, enable long oil ａnd filter life
- Excellent demulsibility ensures ease of water removal in below waterline applications
- Good elastomer compatibility, it works well with same elastomers used with conventional mineral hydraulic oils
Applications
- Marine controllable pitch propellers (CPP) systems, fin stabilizers, deck equipment, hydraulic systems where spills or leakage could result in adverse environment impact
- In systems where readily biodegradable ａnd minimally toxic fluids may be required
- Circulation systems containing gears ａnd bearings where mild extreme-pressure characteristics are desired
- Systems containing servo-valves
- Hydraulic systems operating with oil temperatures in the range of -30C to +100C
- Marine ａnd mobile equipment operating in environmentally sensitive areas
- Circulation systems operating under mild to moderate service conditions
- Industrial hydraulic systems where leaked or spilled fluids could get into plant effluent
- Air line oilers ａnd some limited oil-mist generating systems
