FUCH PLANTOHYD 32 N 55 GALLON DRUM

This oil is formulated for both mobile and stationary hydraulic equipment operating under low and medium load conditions, making it a versatile choice across a wide range of hydraulic applications.

Yes, PLANTOHYD N is specifically designed as an environmentally acceptable alternative to mineral-based hydraulic oils for systems operating at low and medium loads. Before switching, confirm that your system's operating pressures and load levels fall within those parameters.

ISO VG 32 is a relatively light viscosity grade, typically suited for hydraulic systems that require lower-viscosity fluid — often those with tighter tolerances, higher operating pressures, or colder ambient conditions. PLANTOHYD N also features a high natural, shear-stable viscosity index that provides multi-grade performance, meaning it maintains consistent viscosity characteristics across a range of temperatures.

HETG is the ISO 15380 designation for hydraulic fluids based on triglycerides — naturally derived, vegetable-based oils. This classification indicates the fluid meets a recognized international standard for environmentally acceptable hydraulic lubricants. PLANTOHYD N meets and exceeds the minimum requirements of ISO 15380 type HETG.

PLANTOHYD N is rapidly biodegradable, achieving a biodegradability rate of 60% or greater according to OECD 301 B testing. It is based entirely on renewable natural raw materials (triglycerides), which is what qualifies it as an environmentally acceptable lubricant.

The high polarity of the triglyceride base, combined with a premium additive system, delivers excellent lubrication, good corrosion protection, low evaporation loss, natural cleaning properties, and good low-temperature performance. The high natural viscosity index also contributes to shear-stable, multi-grade behavior without relying on synthetic viscosity index improvers.
