Over many years Morris Lubricants has organised and implemented an action plan to optimise sustainable manufacturing and minimise the company’s impact on the environment. As part of this action plan, a review of the use of dyes in its products was agreed. The aim is to where possible, reduce the use of artificial dyes in its product formulations. As some of these dyes can be harmful to the environment, and in certain applications have no physical or chemical benefit to the product and are there for cosmetic purposes.
One of the first of these products to go through this change is Liquimatic HV 46, which has gone from a blue colour to a pale straw colour (yellow).
Liquimatic HV 46 is a high viscosity index hydraulic oil, formulated from high quality mineral oils and the latest anti-wear technology. This grade utilises a shear stable polymer that ensures that the oil does not thin down during its working life. It is ideal for hydraulic systems subjected to extreme operating conditions and temperatures, from frozen food stores (-20°C) to industrial hydraulic systems and off-highway equipment that run at elevated temperatures.
Liquimatic HV 46 is also corrosion and oxidation inhibited and will provide protection even in the presence of seawater. Excellent anti-wear and EP (Extreme Pressure) properties provide protection with anti-foam additives to control foam and facilitate rapid air release, ensuring correct hydraulic function and meeting the stringent filterability requirements of modern machines and robotics.
Recommended for both industrial and off highway hydraulic systems, where extreme operating conditions are encountered. Liquimatic HV 46 can also be used in hydrostatic drives, power steering systems, brake systems and other applications where a product of this type and specification is required. Liquimatic HV 46 is particularly recommended for contractor’s plant vehicles and machinery
