APRIL BIO-SYN HEES is a superior quality readily biodegradable (>80% in 28 days) hydraulic oil made from synthetic esters, environmentally friendly zinc free additives and APRIL NANO 1™ lubricant technology for unsurpassed protection and performance. It has excellent anti-oxidation, anti-corrosion, anti-wear and extreme pressure properties. Recommended for hydraulic systems operating at high pressures and extreme temperatures in areas sensitive to environmental pollution, such as on or near water and aquifers, near water treatment plants, on farmland, in forests and endangered or vulnerable species’ habitats.
The European Union adopted the EU Ecolabel in 2005 in order to promote the highest international standards for biodegradable lubricants. EU Ecolabel approved lubricants have the smallest negative impact on the environment and the largest positive impact on society. Many of our competitors state that they are EAL or Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants. In contrast to the highly regulated EU Ecolabel, there are no regulatory standards or internationally accepted terms by which an EAL is defined (page 3, EPA 800‐R‐11‐002). Furthermore, EALs are self-reporting and require no external verification or approvals whatsoever. In conclusion, since the EU Ecolabel represents a significantly higher standard than an EAL, the EU Ecolabel is automatically an EAL – but not vice-versa.
