The Lubricant Lab: Benefits of High Viscosity Index Hydraulic Oils

In today’s demanding industrial landscape, hydraulic systems operate under increased pressures, temperatures, and efficiency demands. Valorem Chemicals understands these challenges and provides the key ingredient for formulating high Viscosity Index (VI) hydraulic oils, offering significant benefits over conventional options.

High VI hydraulic oils maintain optimal viscosity across a wide range of temperatures, crucial for consistent performance and protecting hydraulic components from wear. Their viscosity changes less with temperature fluctuations, ensuring reliable operation.

Benefits of High Viscosity Index Hydraulic Oils

  1. Improved Energy Efficiency: Reduced internal friction improves volumetric efficiency, resulting in lower energy consumption and operating costs.
  2. Enhanced Equipment Protection: Consistent viscosity at varying temperatures ensures proper lubrication, reducing wear and extending equipment life.
  3. Wider Operating Temperature Range: Optimal performance in both hot and cold environments simplifies maintenance and reduces seasonal oil changes.
  4. Increased Productivity: Improved efficiency and reliability allow equipment to operate at higher pressures and speeds. Field demonstrations show significant productivity gains using high VI hydraulic oils with shear stable viscosity improvers.

Shear Stable Viscosity Improvers: The Key to Performance
High VI oils incorporate shear stable viscosity improvers, polymers that maintain their molecular structure under stress. This ensures stable viscosity over time, extending the oil’s effectiveness across a wider temperature range. Valorem Chemicals specialises in these high-quality viscosity modifiers, a critical component for formulating top-tier hydraulic oils.
The superior performance of high VI hydraulic oils is due to these viscosity improvers. They expand with temperature, maintaining viscosity and preventing issues like cavitation and wear. Their shear stability guarantees sustained benefits over prolonged use.
