TRUEGARD AW 100 is a high-performance family of anti-wear (AW) hydraulic fluids engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern hydraulic systems. Formulated to conform to the ISO VG 100 viscosity grade, TRUEGARD AW 100 is ideally suited for a wide range of applications, including hydraulic pumps, motors, presses, and other industrial equipment requiring robust protection and consistent performance.

The "AW" designation signifies the inclusion of advanced anti-wear additives, commonly zinc-based, designed to minimize component wear and extend equipment life. These additives provide a protective layer on metal surfaces, reducing friction and guarding against damage under high-pressure operating conditions. Additionally, TRUEGARD AW 100 offers excellent resistance to oxidation, helping to maintain fluid stability and performance over extended service intervals.

TRUEGARD AW 100 is available in two primary formulations to accommodate diverse operational needs: a high-zinc version for enhanced anti-wear protection and an R&O (rust and oxidation) inhibited version for applications where rust prevention and oxidation control are critical. This versatility ensures that users can select the optimal TRUEGARD AW 100 fluid based on their specific equipment requirements and environmental conditions.

With its reliable anti-wear properties, superior oxidation stability, and flexible product options, TRUEGARD AW 100 is an excellent choice for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of hydraulic systems across a variety of industrial settings.

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about our products and services

  • ISO VG 100 is a relatively thick hydraulic oil, suited for systems that operate under heavy loads, slower speeds, or in warmer ambient temperatures where a thinner grade like AW 46 or AW 68 would thin out too much. Always check your equipment manufacturer's hydraulic fluid specification to confirm the recommended ISO VG grade before selecting this product.

  • The high-zinc version contains elevated levels of zinc-based anti-wear additives, making it the stronger choice for high-pressure hydraulic systems where pump and component wear is the primary concern. The R&O (rust and oxidation) inhibited version prioritizes rust prevention and oxidation control without the elevated zinc content, and is better suited for systems or environments where those concerns outweigh extreme anti-wear demands - or for equipment that specifies a zinc-free or low-zinc fluid.

  • TRUEGARD AW 100 is formulated for hydraulic pumps, motors, presses, and a broad range of industrial equipment that requires robust lubrication under high-pressure conditions. It is intended for industrial hydraulic systems rather than mobile or automotive applications, so verify your equipment's specifications to ensure ISO VG 100 and AW-type fluid are called for.

  • Mixing hydraulic fluids is generally not recommended, as incompatible additive packages can react and degrade performance or damage seals and components. If switching to TRUEGARD AW 100, it is best practice to flush the system thoroughly before filling with the new fluid to avoid contamination.

  • Zinc-based AW additives form a protective chemical film on metal surfaces under high-pressure conditions, which reduces direct metal-to-metal contact, lowers friction, and slows wear on critical components such as pump vanes, pistons, and valves. This translates to longer component service life and reduced maintenance frequency in demanding hydraulic applications.

  • Strong oxidation stability helps the fluid resist breaking down and forming sludge, varnish, or acidic by-products over time. This means the fluid maintains its protective properties over extended service intervals, reducing the frequency of oil changes and helping to protect system components from deposit-related damage.
