About Us
Hydro Safe® Oil Division, Inc., incorporated in the State of Michigan , is a company dedicated to providing premium biodegradable, non-toxic hydraulic oils in grades ISO VG-32, ISO VG-46, and ISO VG-68. The company, working with highly regarded scientists in this particular field, formulated Hydro Safe® after careful and thorough research of the various applications in the markets targeted. At every step of the way, our goal was to provide the best biodegradable, non-toxic hydraulic oil available, and to market the product at very competitive prices, maintaining an efficient, low-overhead management system and to provide deliveries within ten days after receipt of order.
After careful consideration, we established that canola (rapeseed) oil from special genetically engineered inherently encompassed the attributes that we were looking for with the best possibilities for oxidative stability. Our manufacturing facility, located in Carrollton, GA, is ISO-9001:2000 certified. Keeping in mind that the technology for developing a premium hydraulic vegetable oil has only been available a short time, we proceeded to formulate Hydro Safe® to provide for exceptional lubricity for the purpose of extending the life expectancy of hydraulic component parts. Since there is an inherent advantage of vegetable oil over petroleum oil, identified as Viscosity Index (VI Index), which essentially is double that of corresponding petroleum oil. The viscosity is not nearly as affected by oil temperature changes as the petroleum counterpart. This allows a more stable viscosity and subsequently, substantially improved stable equipment operation.
Hydro Safe® has met or exceeded all of the appropriate ASTM tests required for hydraulic fluids. One big advantage of Hydro Safe is the oxidative stability. Under Robotic Bomb Test ASTM Test D-2272, you will note on the Product Data Sheets that Hydro Safe® tested at 165 minutes , which we believe is at least double that of any of competitors based upon our knowledge of competitive products at this time. The longer the minutes the less the product has a tendency to degrade.
You will note our compliance relative to applicable EPA requirements, etc., as listed on the Material Safety Data PDFs on this website.
Our company is designed as a lean operating business allowing very competitive pricing; and pricing to allow users to convert from the use of petroleum oil to our Environmentally Friendly Hydraulic Oil.
After twelve years of providing Hydro Safe® in thousands of installations, our experience has been zero defects and total customer acceptance. Installations include hydraulic elevators; dock levelers; hydraulic fork lift trucks; mobile cranes; railroad hydraulic uses; amusement park rides; yachts; barges; ships for power steering, bow thrusters, windlass anchors; and hydraulically operated locks, heavy movable structures, hydraulic bridges, and other applications where environmental considerations are important.
