Manufacturer's description

Shell Naturelle Fluid HF-E is an advanced hydraulic fluid for use in hydraulic and power transmission systems. It is readily biodegradable with low ecotoxicity and is particularly suitable for use in environmentally sensitive areas. The fully synthetic esters, blended with ashless additives, give Shell Naturelle Fluid HF-E a superior blend of lubrication performance and environmental acceptability.

Applications

• Hydraulic power transmission systems in exposed environments or subject to wide temperature variations. The stable viscosity index of Shell Naturelle Fluid HF-E helps deliver responsive performance from cold start to full load and heavy-duty operation. General industrial control equipment and hydraulic systems
• The excellent anti-wear properties and high viscosity index (VI) of Shell Naturelle Fluid HF-E mean that it can often be used where mineral oils to ISO 11158 (HM/HV) and DIN 51524 Part 2 or Part 3 (HLP/HVLP) are specified. However, bulk fluid operating temperatures should not exceed 90 0 C.
• Environmentally sensitive areasShell Naturelle Fluid HF-E is an "environmentally acceptable" hydraulic fluid (ISO 15380 HEES), with "reduced harm to water and soil during use" (EU Ecolabel). Compared with conventional hydraulic fluids, it will have a reduced environmental impact in the event of leaks or accidents. It is particularly recommended for use in environmentally sensitive areas. Specifications, approvals and recommendations
• Shell Naturelle Fluid HF-E is approved as meeting the anti-wear requirements for Eaton Vickers products, mobile and industrial systems, in accordance with brochure 03-401-2010.
• For the full list of equipment approvals and recommendations, please consult your local Shell technical representative. Compatibility and miscibility
• Fluid compatibilityShell Naturelle Fluid HF-E is miscible with mineral oil hydraulic fluids. However, to ensure that the environmental properties and performance of Shell Naturelle Fluid HF-E are maintained, the hydraulic system should be drained and flushed thoroughly when changing fluids. Guidelines on fluid change-over can be found in ISO 15380 Annex A. Because of the surface-wetting properties of Shell Naturelle Fluid HF-E, if the system previously used a mineral oil hydraulic fluid, deposits formed in the system during operation may accumulate in the system filters. The filters should therefore be checked at regular intervals after the fluid change.
• Compatible with seal materials and paintsShell Naturelle Fluid HF-E 32 is compatible with fluoroelastomers (FPM/FKM) such as Viton®. Other seal materials and system components, such as paints, may be adversely affected, and advice should be sought from the respective manufacturers.
