HYDRAULIC OIL

When hydraulic oil is used in machinery where an oil spill might harm the environment, biodegradable hydraulic oil is used. Biodegradable hydraulic oil is made of a vegetable oil base, usually rapeseed oil, rather than a petroleum or chemical base, so that if there is a spill, the hydraulic oil will not harm the environment. Biodegradable hydraulic oil is often used in farm tractors, earthmovers and boats, as well as in timber cutting and processing applications... For most people, the most common use for hydraulic oil is in the braking system and the power steering assembly of automobiles. The hydraulic oil used for these applications is usually mineral based with low compressibility. Since a hydraulic system circulates the hydraulic oil in and out of a fixed reservoir, the fluid must have little or no compressibility making it possible to reuse the oil over and over. This circulation process also allows the system powered by the hydraulic oil to be easily controlled and accurately..
