Formerly Known As: Neptune® AW 68
Shell Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluid 68

• Polyalkylene glycol (PAG) based
• Non-Sheening
• Readily Biodegradable

100% Water Soluble and Readily Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluids
Shell Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluids are fully synthetic PAG (Polyalkylene Glycol) based, non-aqueous hydraulic
fluids. These fluids are formulated from a high VI, fully synthetic base stock, coupled with a non-metallic additive
package that provides the properties demanded by high-performance hydraulic systems. These fluids also have
excellent low temperature properties and are resistant to oxidative and thermal degradation.

 

 

Performance, Features & Benefits
· Excellent wear protection
Shell Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluids have exceptional load
carrying anti-wear performance over a wide range of
temperatures. The ISO 68 provides antiwear performance
based on FZG test results.


· Non-Sheening
Shell Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluid 68 does not cause a
sheen and is compliant with the US Clean Water Act Sheen
Rule.


· Water Solubility
Shell Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluids are heavier than
water and dissolve completely.
· Hydrolytic Stability
Shell Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluids will not hydrolyze in
the presence of water. This protects hydraulic systems from
decreased equipment life and potential system failure due
to the presence of harmful acids (increased Total Acid
Number values).


· All Weather Service
With high viscosity indices and low pour points. Shell
Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluids may be used year-round,
eliminating season changeovers. One Shell Biodegradable
Hydraulic Fluid may replace multiple viscosity grade oils.

· Material Compatibility
Shell Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluids are typically not
soluble with petroleum-based oils. The fluids are compatible
with seals and hoses commonly found in hydraulic systems.
Contact Shell for more detailed compatibility information
related to paints, plastics, and elastomers.

 


Main Applications

Fluids can be used in industrial, marine and mobile
equipment, including high-pressure systems, systems with
servo valves and all robotics.
Specifications, Approvals & Recommendations
· VGP 2013
Shell Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluids meet United States
Environmental Protection Agency's 2013 Vessel General
Permit requirements for use in marine applications. When
compared to conventional mineral oils they will have reduced
environmental impact in the event of a leak or accidental
spillage.

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about our products and services

  • Yes. This fluid was formerly sold as Neptune® AW 68 — it is the same product under its current name, Shell Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluid 68.

  • This fluid is suited for industrial, marine, and mobile equipment, including high-pressure hydraulic systems, systems with servo valves, and all robotics applications.

  • This fluid is typically not soluble with petroleum-based oils, so mixing the two is not recommended. If you are transitioning from a mineral oil-based hydraulic fluid, contact Shell for detailed guidance on the changeover process before switching.

  • No seasonal changeovers are needed. The high viscosity index and low pour point allow year-round use in varying temperatures, and a single grade of this fluid can replace multiple viscosity grade oils.

  • This fluid will not hydrolyze in the presence of water, meaning it will not break down into harmful acids. This protects the hydraulic system from elevated Total Acid Number values that can cause decreased equipment life or system failure.

  • This fluid is compatible with seals and hoses commonly found in hydraulic systems. For compatibility with paints, plastics, and elastomers specific to your equipment, contact Shell directly for detailed information.
