Mobil SHC Aware Hydraulic 32
Mobil SHC Aware Hydraulic 32 is a high-performance anti-wear hydraulic oil developed to meet the demand for environmentally acceptable lubricants in sensitive operating environments. It is biodegradable, minimally toxic and non-bioaccumulative, meeting U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 2013 Vessel General Permit (VGP) and EU Ecolabel requirements. The formulation is specifically designed to provide exceptional anti-wear protection and film thickness for demanding hydraulic systems while helping reduce environmental impact in the event of leaks or spills.
One of the key advantages of Mobil SHC Aware Hydraulic 32 is its outstanding load-carrying capability and anti-wear performance. The lubricant helps protect pumps, valves and hydraulic components from wear and scuffing, contributing to extended equipment life and reduced maintenance requirements. The advanced formulation also has the potential to improve hydraulic efficiency compared with standard hydraulic fluids, helping support improved system performance.
Mobil SHC Aware Hydraulic 32 also provides excellent thermal and oxidation stability. These characteristics help reduce sludge and deposit formation, supporting cleaner hydraulic systems and extended oil and filter life. Its shear-stable high viscosity index helps maintain effective lubrication across a wide temperature range, ensuring consistent performance in both low and high temperature operating conditions.
Another important benefit is its excellent demulsibility and water separation characteristics. The lubricant allows water to be removed easily in critical applications, including below-waterline equipment. This helps maintain system cleanliness, reduce corrosion risk and support reliable hydraulic performance in marine and outdoor environments. The balanced formulation also supports reliable protection across a wide variety of operating temperatures.
Mobil SHC Aware Hydraulic 32 is recommended for hydraulic deck equipment, cranes, winches, ramps and hatches operating in environmentally sensitive areas. It is also suitable for marine, forestry and mobile equipment, circulation systems under moderate service conditions and industrial hydraulic systems where leaks or spills could enter plant effluent systems.
Physical characteristics include ISO VG 32 viscosity grade with a kinematic viscosity of approximately 31.1 mm²/s at 40°C and 6.2 mm²/s at 100°C. Mobil SHC Aware Hydraulic 32 has a viscosity index of approximately 152, a flash point of approximately 282°C and a pour point of approximately −33°C. The product also provides strong oxidation stability and an FZG scuffing fail stage of approximately 10, supporting reliable performance in demanding environmentally sensitive hydraulic applications.
