Overview
Motorex ECOSYNT HEES is a biodegradable hydraulic oil: a rapidly biodegradable, environmentally acceptable lubricant (EAL) based on saturated esters. It meets the latest requirements of DIN ISO 15380 and exceeds the minimum requirement for biodegradability under OECD 301B. It is not bioaccumulative, meets the aquatoxicity requirements of OECD 201, 202 and 236 for algae, bacteria and fish, and is not classified under the GHS. More than 25% of its raw materials are renewable.
Where it is used
ECOSYNT HEES is for mobile and stationary hydraulic systems in construction, forestry, municipal and agricultural machinery, and for tunnelling and shoring work in water protection areas. It can also be used wherever a pressure fluid to DIN 51524-2 (HLP) or DIN 51524-3 (HVLP) is specified. It is particularly recommended for systems that need a listing to Bosch Rexroth RDE 90245.

Changing over from mineral oil
When changing from a mineral or semi-synthetic oil to ECOSYNT HEES, the oil change requirements of DIN ISO 15380 must be followed, and the approval criteria of the machine’s manufacturer apply. For questions about miscibility and compatibility, ask Motorex’s customer service, or call us.

Quick answers
Is it biodegradable? Yes. ECOSYNT HEES is a rapidly biodegradable hydraulic oil (EAL) that exceeds the OECD 301B requirement.
Is it a mineral oil? No. It is an ester-based hydraulic oil that is rapidly biodegradable.
Can it replace a standard HLP or HVLP oil? It can be used wherever DIN 51524-2 (HLP) or DIN 51524-3 (HVLP) is specified, but when changing from a mineral or semi-synthetic oil the DIN ISO 15380 oil change requirements and the machine manufacturer’s approval criteria apply.
