Castrol BIOBAR RANGE

Environmentally responsible hydraulic oil.

Castrol BioBar environmentally acceptable hydraulic fluids

Castrol BioBar is a range of environmentally acceptable hydraulic fluids which can replace conventional mineral oils in hydraulic equipment where leakage or spillage may result in escape into the marine environment.

Castrol BioBar hydraulic fluids are formulated from synthetic ester base oils which are selected to give a wide operating temperature range and long service life.

Castrol BioBar recommended for hydraulic systems

Hydraulic systems are extensively used for power transmission on board ship. Cranes, winches, windlasses and life boat davits are often located where leakage or spillage can escape into the marine environment. The extensive use of flexible hoses, which are susceptible to mechanical damage through abrasion or fatigue, can increase the risk of leakage which can lead to a rapid loss of fluid if there are high operating pressures and high flow rates.

Castrol BioBar is recommended for hydraulic systems and hydrostatic transmissions which incorporate gear pumps, vane pumps, radial piston or axial piston pumps and motors and where there is a perceived risk of egress into the environment in the event of spillage or leakage.

Castrol BioBar Reduced environmental impact

Reduced environmental impact when compared to conventional lubricants – demonstrable benefits in the following key environmental performance criteria:

  • Superior biodegradation
  • Significantly reduced bioaccumulation* and toxicity
  • Enhanced renewability
  • High levels of protection given to pump and motor components
