Formulating EU Eco label Compliant Hydraulic Fluids Brochure

  • There is a strong political and social movement to minimise the impact of human activity on the global environment through the use of renewable and sustainable technologies.
  • There are a number of interrelated classification systems for EALs and several regions place restrictions on the use of mineral oil based products in environmentally sensitive areas; these countries insist on the use of environmentally acceptable lubricants.
  • These include:
    • The European Union's Ecolabel for lubricants standard to promote the development and use of lubricating products with reduced environmental impact.
    • The USDA's (United States Department of Agriculture) Biopreferred® certification system for products with high levels of renewable ingredients
    • The Vessel General Permit legislation (VGP) which specifies which vessels operating in US waters that must use an EAL. 
  • Each standard has some or complete read-across with the other standards and you can read more by downloading our infographic from this page. 

We are a world leader in the development of synthetic base oils for use in environments where oil release or spillage may occur.

We have developed an industry leading range of Priolube™ ester base oils. Many of our products designed for environmentally sensitive areas are made using renewable and sustainable raw materials; almost all are ultimately biodegradable and have low toxicity towards aquatic organisms. Our products are also European Eco Label certified (on the LuSC list), suitable for formulation under VGP and most are USDA Biopreferred®.
