TRUEGARD AW 22 is a premium anti-wear hydraulic fluid engineered to deliver exceptional performance and protection for hydraulic systems. With a specific viscosity grade of ISO VG 22, this fluid is specially formulated for applications that require a thinner oil, making it ideal for low-temperature environments and equipment such as air tools.

Key Features

·      ISO VG 22 Viscosity Grade: Provides optimal flow characteristics for hydraulic systems requiring lighter fluid, enhancing system responsiveness and efficiency in cold conditions.

·      Mineral-Based Formula: Manufactured from high-quality mineral oils, TRUEGARD AW 22 ensures reliable lubrication and stable performance.

·      Advanced Additive Package: Includes state-of-the-art additives designed to:

·      Prevent component wear and extend equipment life

·      Inhibit rust and corrosion, safeguarding metal surfaces

·      Resist oxidation, maintaining fluid integrity and reducing sludge formation

Reliable System Operation: The combination of anti-wear, anti-rust, and anti-oxidation properties ensures hydraulic systems run smoothly, with reduced maintenance and downtime.

Recommended Applications

TRUEGARD AW 22 is suitable for a wide range of hydraulic systems, especially those operating in colder climates or requiring a low-viscosity fluid. Common applications include:

·      Air tools and pneumatic equipment

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about our products and services
  • ISO VG 22 describes the fluid's kinematic viscosity, placing it among the thinner hydraulic oils in the ISO grading scale. This means the fluid flows more freely at low temperatures, making it well-suited for cold-climate operation and equipment like air tools and precision hydraulic systems that require fast, responsive fluid movement. If your OEM manual specifies ISO VG 22 (or an equivalent lighter grade), this product meets that requirement.

  • The right grade depends on your equipment's operating temperature range and the OEM's viscosity specification. AW 22 is the better choice for colder environments or systems that demand a low-viscosity fluid for quick response and easy start-up. AW 32 or AW 46 are typically used in warmer or higher-load applications where a thicker film is needed for protection. Always consult your equipment manual for the recommended ISO viscosity grade.

  • Yes, the product is specifically recommended for air tools and pneumatic equipment. Its low ISO VG 22 viscosity ensures it circulates freely through the fine passages of pneumatic components without causing sluggish operation, while its anti-wear additives protect internal parts from friction-related damage.

  • The product data does not address compatibility with other hydraulic fluids. As a best practice, mixing different fluids can dilute the additive package and compromise performance. It is generally recommended to drain and flush the existing fluid before switching to a new product, or to consult Truegard directly if a top-off situation is unavoidable.

  • The advanced additive package in TRUEGARD AW 22 is formulated to prevent component wear, inhibit rust and corrosion on metal surfaces, and resist oxidation. Oxidation resistance is particularly important because it slows sludge formation and fluid degradation, helping maintain cleaner system operation and reducing the frequency of oil changes and maintenance.

  • Yes, TRUEGARD AW 22 is manufactured from high-quality mineral oils. Mineral-based hydraulic fluids should be stored in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition, and containers should be kept tightly sealed to prevent contamination and moisture ingress. A Safety Data Sheet is available from Truegard for detailed handling, storage, and disposal guidance.
