Chevron (San Ramon, CA) announces the introduction of Clarity Bio EliteSyn AW, a solution to bridge the gap between environmental responsibility and high-performance hydraulic fluid requirements.

At its core, Clarity Bio EliteSyn AW was developed to represent a significant advancement in hydraulic fluid technology. Not only does it meet stringent government environmental regulations by meeting or exceeding the biodegradation, toxicity, and bioaccumulation limits--it has a high level of renewable carbon of ≥90%. It also excels in performance, ensuring that customers do not have to compromise on quality or efficiency.

Key features include:

  • Unparalleled Performance: Clarity Bio EliteSyn AW delivers exceptional performance, surpassing traditional hydraulic fluids. With a remarkable Total Oxidation Stability Test (TOST) life of over 10,000 hours, it outperforms existing products in the market.
  • Seal Compatibility: The new product ensures a seamless transition for customers, eliminating the need to change seals on equipment when switching products. This compatibility advantage simplifies the adoption process, reducing downtime and operational disruptions.
  • Environmental Compliance: Compliant with EU Ecolabel, US EPA Vessel General Permit (VGP), Swedish Standard for environmentally acceptable lubricants (EAL), and the OECD definition of “readily biodegradable,” Clarity Bio EliteSyn AW aligns with the most stringent environmental standards, making it an ideal choice for environmentally sensitive work environments.
  • Wildlife-Friendly Formula: With its zinc-free formula, Clarity Bio EliteSyn AW prioritizes environmental safety, making it desirable for applications near water or areas with potential wildlife impact.
