Alpha Lubricants Alpha Premium Hydraulic Oil AW 68

Alpha Lubricants Alpha Premium Hydraulic Oil AW 68 utilize the highest quality zinc anti-wear technology available. While most oils contain less than 350 ppm of zinc, our hydraulic oils all contain 750 ppm of zinc. Extra zinc has been proven to help reduce wear rates in hydraulic systems. These oils are recommended for all industrial hydraulic systems using gear, vane, axial piston, and radial piston designs. They feature excellent resistance to wear, foam, rust, oxidation, and harmful emulsions with water. Alpha Premium Hydraulic Oils are formulated with additives that are gentle to yellow metal parts such as bronze, brass, or copper. They resist acid formation under high temperatures. Properly maintained and filtered systems will remain free of sludge and varnish. This product contains the alpha performance booster which is proven to decrease friction, vibration, and wear as well as improve seals and extend machine life.
