United Bio Lube's Bio Hydraulic Fluids are engineered to meet the physical demands of modern hydraulic systems:

 
Comparative Analytical Studies Over Time

stabilized Bio Hydraulic Fluids vs. Petroleum & Commercial Vegetable Oils

Oxidation Stability clearly differentiates United Bio Lube's Bio Hydraulic Fluids from competitive offering. In multiple 3rd Party comparative studies with competitive hydraulic fluids over time, United Bio Lube's Bio Hydraulic Fluids Outperformed Mineral Oils, Synthetics, Synthetic Blends, and Commercial Vegetable Oil formulations with superior ASTM D-2272 Rotary Bomb Oxidation Test (RBOT) time values (i.e. 600-613) and super low ASTM D-2893 Total Acid Number (TAN) values (i.e. 0.28 - 0.43).

The Bar Chart below shows the results of independent 3rd party Oxidation Testing performed on the 100% biodegradable Bio AW Hydraulic Fluids 1000 and 2000. This testing clearly demonstrates that 1000 and 2000 fluids are superior when compared to other leading commercial hydraulic fluids.

Testing data includes comparative results with all different types of hydraulic fluids, including:

1. Ultimately Biodegradable and Biobased
2. Readily Biodegradable and Petroleum-based
3. Mineral Oil
4. Synthetic Ester
5. Synthetic Ester and Mineral Oil Blends

Through rigorous and demanding field testing, Bio AW and 2000 Hydraulic Fluids have proven to outperform leading brands, including:

• Petroleum-based Mineral Oil Hydraulic Fluids
• Commercial Biobased Hydraulic Fluids
• Blended Biobased (Sunflower)/30% Synthetic Polyolester (Trimethylol Propane Oleate)
• Full Synthetic Polyolester based Hydraulic Fluids

 
ASTM D-2272 Rotary Bomb Oxidation Test (RBOT)

The Rotary Bomb Oxidation Test (RBOT) is a rapid method of comparing the oxidation life of lubricants in similar formulations. It is used to evaluate the oxidation characteristics of turbine, hydraulic, transformer and gear oils. The results are reported as the number of minutes to a 25 psi loss. The longer the time, the greater the stability of the fluid.

Bio AW and Bio AW Supreme technology outperforms all the other hydraulic fluids with a greater amount of time measured during RBOT testing.

AP NOTE:  Full Synthetic Polyolester based hydraulic fluid is considered and promoted in the industry as a very stable formulation.

AP NOTE:  3rd party testing also shows that the Synthetic Polyolester based hydraulic fluid decreases in Viscosity before it starts to increase in Viscosity. This is commonly seen in synthetic polyolester based formulas because of the chemical reactions during high temperature oxidation tests.

 
Superior Total Acid Number (TAN)

Hydraulic system and pump manufacturers have reported acidic attack of internal metal components when hydraulic fluids reach TAN increase of 2.0 in real life hydraulic equipment applications.

Bio AW and 2000 Hydraulic Fluids demonstrate superior Oxidation Stability with the lowest TAN values.

 
Compatible With Existing Fluids and Elastomers

Elastomer Compatibility

United Bio Lube's Bio Hydraulic Fluids are compatible with hydraulic system materials and components designed to operate on mineral oil based and most synthetic based hydraulic fluids.

One of the most widely used elastomers in the industry for mineral oil based hydraulic systems is Buna-N Low Nitrile Rubber (NBR-L). United Bio Lube's Bio Hydraulic Fluids are fully compatible with Buna-N Low Nitrile Rubber and other commonly used Elastomers.

Bio Hydraulic Fluids can operate in Static, Mid-Dynamic, and Dynamic areas of hydraulic systems that contain the following materials:

 
Mineral Oil Based Fluid Compatibility

Bio Hydraulic Fluids have been tested and have shown to be compatible with Mineral Oil based and most Synthetic based fluids.

 
Synthetic Polyalphaolefins-based Fluid Compatibility

Bio Hydraulic Fluids have been designed to directly replace synthetic Polyalphaolefins (PAOs) and Semi-Synthetic PAO and mineral oil blends.

Bio Hydraulic Fluids are fully compatible with synthetic Polyalphaolefins (PAOs) and Semi-Synthetic PAO and mineral oil blends. These are the most widely used synthetic lubricants in the world lubricant market and generally are formulated to meet the same hydraulic systems compatibility requirements as mineral oil based fluids.

 
Synthetic Esters

Bio Hydraulic Fluids are highly compatible with systems designed to use Synthetic Esters.

 
Phosphate Esters

Bio Hydraulic Fluids are compatible with some, but not all Phosphate Ester fluids.

 
Exceptional System Cleanliness

AP NOTE:  Special filter elements are not required. Filters should be checked after 50 hours of operation, as vegetable oils tend to remove mineral-oil deposits from the system and carry these to the filters.

Filter-clogging indicators should be carefully monitored, as filter-elements will trap deposits and particulate matter now being removed from the system due to previous mineral-oil operation.

 
Return On Capital Investment

Green Means Real Operational Cost Savings

Bio Hydraulic Fluids offer Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), Civil Engineers, Construction Companies, and Processing Facilities brand protection, extended performance features, warranty protection, and safety requirements demanded by today's Green marketplace.

Bio Hydraulic Fluids offer Civil Engineers and Facility Operators a cost-effective way to improve plant production, ensure product safety, and control operating expenses.

Today, pressure is on governments, manufacturers, and companies to achieve greater energy efficiency by reducing both emissions and waste. Using Bio Hydraulic Fluids reduces power consumption while maximizing capital investments in machinery and equipment.

 
Cost Justification For Selecting Bio Hydraulic Fluids

Green Means Return On Investment

In most companies, the relative impact of fluid purchasing costs on net profitability over the course of a year is relatively minor.

Return On Investment (ROI) is a far better measure of cost justification. Bio Hydraulic Fluids made from stabilized HOBS present a cost reduction opportunity for plant manufacturers, delivering a ROI many times over the purchasing cost differential incurred from switching to these high performance, multi-functional, multi-purpose fluids.

The typical Return On Investment from gained operational efficiencies is much greater than the total cost of purchasing Bio Hydraulic Fluids over the course of a year.

 
Protects Capital Investments In Machinery

Engineered for today's advanced processing machines and equipment, Bio Hydraulic Fluids are designed to deliver a measurable Return On Investment by:

1.  Reducing machine Wear and Failure
2.  Reducing machine Maintenance cycles
3.  Reducing overall system Down-time

Collectively, these system wide performance improvements can lead to a positive Return On Investment in capital equipment as measured by:

• Longevity of Components and Parts
• Improved machine Operability
• Extended machine Service Life
• Improvements in Plant Safety
• Improvements in Job Productivity

 
No Hidden Costs

There are no extra costs incurred from switching over to Bio Hydraulic Fluids as these fluids are fully compatible with existing hydraulic system components, filters, seals, and fluids.

As Drop-In-Replacement fluids, Bio Hydraulic Fluids are installed using standard fluid change over procedures.

 
Made From Renewable Resources

HOBS Promotes U.S. Oil Independence

United Bio Lube's Bio Hydraulic Fluids were developed in collaboration with Dept. of Agriculture (USDA), Dept. of Interior (DOI), Dept. of Energy (DOE), and Dept. of Defense (DOD) through bipartisan initiatives, lead by senators Thomas Harkin (D, Iowa) and Richard Lugar (R, Indiana), to reduce America's dependency on fossil fuels and foreign oil while promoting rural economic development.

The High Oleic Base Stocks (HOBS) program is a cornerstone technology America is deploying to gain Self Reliance, Economic Security, Workplace Safety, and Environmental Protection for the next 100 years.

 
stabilized High Oleic Base Stocks (HOBS)

United Bio Lube's Bio Hydraulic Fluids (BCI™) are formulated from U.S.D.A. sponsored High Oleic Base Stocks (HOBS)² and processed with stabilized¹ chemistry for:

• High Performance - High Quality
• Multi-Grade Performance
• Hydraulic Fluid Longevity
• Anti-Oxidation, Anti-Corrosion, Anti-Rust
• Cold Flow Pumpability
• Reduced Fluid Thickening
• Lower Deposits
• 100% Ultimate Biodegradation
• Extremely Low Volatility
• Fire Safety

HOBS are specialized commodity vegetable oil crops, i.e. Soy, Sunflower, Canola, and Corn. Once stabilized against oxidation, these basestocks yield the safest, most efficient bio-lubricants available in today's marketplace.

Note:  United Bio Lube's Green Policy position supports the Hybrid Breeding method for naturally growing Mid and High Oleic Base Stock commodity oil crops.

 
HOBS Promotes U.S. Green Chemistry Policy

Renewable agricultural High Oleic Base Stocks (HOBS) represent a growing Green Chemistry market segment that is directly addressing:

• U.S. dependency on fossil fuels and foreign oil.
• Solutions for sequestering CO₂ and other harmful green house gases.
• The elimination of hazardous waste streams from toxic lubricants, solvents, and fuels.
• The fostering of new renewable, Green Chemistry based marketplaces.
• The preservation of U.S. manufacturing.
• The creation of new employment opportunities.

Each of these National Security Interests are inclusive, and in alignment with, the Green alternative energy policies advocated by ApolloAlliance.org, a Ten-Point Initiative for Clean Energy and Good Jobs. ApolloAlliance.org is an strategic alliance of government (U.S. Senators, Congressman, Governors, Mayors) and industry leaders (Labor Unions, Corporate Executives) organized to transition the U.S economy away from a Fossil Fuel dependent Hydrocarbon-based Economy towards a more sustainable, renewable Carbohydrate-based U.S. Bio Economy.

 
Green Chemistry Life Cycle

Broad use of vegetable oil based lubricants creates a continuous, long term economically sustainable Green Chemistry cycle within the greater U.S. Biobased Economy whereby U.S. industries lubricate and protect machinery and equipment with stabilized High Oleic Base Stocks (HOBS) grown on U.S. farms.

Most notably, no CO₂ is produced in the manufacturing of Bio Hydraulic Fluids. As High Oleic Base Stock (HOBS) vegetable oils are grown and scaled to U.S. commodity crop volumes, harmful Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) gas is simultaneously sequestered, or 'pulled', from our atmosphere.

 
HOBS Sequesters CO₂ From The Atmosphere

As Soy, Sunflower, Canola, and Corn HOBS commodity crops are grown, harmful CO2 is sequester, or pulled out of the atmosphere. By scaling out HOBS development across the country, the U.S. can begin to reverse its contributions to the dangerous trend of global warming.

 
HOBS Provides Unique Cradle-to-Grave Opportunities

Still non-hazardous after usage, Bio Hydraulic Fluids can be Recycled or Re-refined into additional biobased lubricant products, i.e. Bio Chain & Cable Oils, Bio EP Greases, Bio Bar & Chain Oils. In turn, these re-refined biobased lubricant products will completely biodegrade as they are expelled into the environment upon usage.

Re-refining biobased fluids and oils into biodegradable Bio Lubricants in the Total Loss Lubricant category represents an industry breakthrough in Cradle-to-Grave low environmental impact product lines. Such Green Chemistry solutions represent the future for controlling waste streams from lubricants.

 
HOBS Protects Against Soil Contamination

The non-hazardous naturally occurring esters found in HOBS are rated Ultimate Biodegradation³ and are renewable, recyclable, and sustainable national resources.

United Bio Lube's Bio Hydraulic Fluids are formulated with a non-toxic Zinc-free additive package with No Heavy Metals and No Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).

 
HOBS are Safe, Non-Hazardous, and Worker-Friendly

Bio Hydraulic Fluids have an additional benefit of being non-toxic to humans.

Meeting and exceeding all OEM specifications, Bio Hydraulic Fluids are preferred over petroleum based products when:

• High performance and quality is required
• There is incidental worker contact with the hydraulic fluids
• Direct exposure to the environment is likely
• Economic sustainability is a prime Green Policy objective.

 
stabilized HOBS Outperforms Petroleum-based Hydraulic Fluids!

Bio Hydraulic Fluids are formulated to OUTPERFORM petroleum based hydraulic fluids. The natural oily film of these super high Viscosity Index products have proven in laboratory and field tests to outperform petroleum based hydraulic fluids in terms of Lubricity, Oxidation Stability and Load Carrying Capacity..

United Bio Lube's Bio Hydraulic Fluids are preferred alternatives over traditional petroleum based oils when considering that Bio Hydraulic Fluids both OUTPERFORM and are SAFE to manufacture, transport, use, and dispose of. These Bio Hydraulic Fluids make obsolete the use of hazardous petroleum based fluids, especially when one considers Performance, Worker Health & Safety, Environmental Impact, and a proper Life Cycle Analysis, i.e. BEES - Life Cycle Cost Analysis Tools.

A total Life-Cycle Analysis of the environmental impact from United Bio Lube's Bio Hydraulic Fluids has been assessed using the BEES system.
