PLANTO 

For the Reliable Function of 

Sophisticated Technologies 

Innovative Lubricants Need 

Experienced Application Engineers. 

Combining the Needs of Industry and Environment 

Cut costs, not 

performance! 

The use of PLANTO lubricants 

is efficient because of: 

■ High natural 

Viscosity Index (VI) 

■ High shear stability 

■ Multigrade characteristics 

■ Low friction coefficient 

■ High wear protection 

■ PLANTO products 

not only offer reliable 

protection but also 

reliable function. 

■ Due to the rapid 

biodegradability of 

the products, pollution 

following spillages is 

limited and clean-up 

costs are slashed. 

■ Rapid biodegradability 

is thus an important prerequisite 

for efficient 

processes in all industrial 

fields. 

PLANTO – Passes 

Every Test 

■ Every PLANTO industrial 

lubricant is subjected to 

thorough laboratory tests 

and trials. 

■ Long-term tests on all 

products determine their 

practical suitability and 

user-friendliness. 

Consultation with an experienced application engineer 

should precede every lubricant change-over. This guarantees 

that the optimum lubricants system is selected. Our 

experienced engineers can not only offer advice on application 

but also inform you about our comprehensive 

range of lubricants.

Standards for the Future 

PLANTO 

Technical advances, changing demands and increasing 

environmental awareness set new standards. 

We invest in research and develop proven, high-performance 

lubricants which satisfy the needs of both 

technology and the environment as well as being 

economical.

Playing Safe 

Reliable lubrication is a 

key parameter for the 

problem-free function of 

sophisticated technologies. 

However, losses are almost 

unavoidable wherever 

lubricants are used. 

Irrespective of whether 

indoors or outdoors, 

leakages and spillages can 

cause considerable ecological 

harm (e.g. polluting 

ground water) and generate 

substantial follow-up 

costs for the company. 

PLANTO industrial lubricants 

were specially developed 

to reduce these 

risks. 

PLANTO industrial lubricants 

and greases based 

on natural oils carry the 

suffix N while those based 

on synthetic esters carry 

the suffix S. Both are: 

■ Ecologically harmless 

and 

■ Technically perfect. 

Our Product Line for 

Industrial Lubricants 

PLANTO products are: 

■ Rapidly biodegradable 

(according to OECD 301 

guidelines), 

■ Awarded the German 

"Blue Angel" 

environmental seal and 

■ Are based on 

renewable base oils. 

PLANTO Products: 

Proven in the harshest 

of conditions. 

PLANTO base oils 

"naturally" offer 

■ High shear stability, 

■ Outstanding viscositytemperature 

behaviour 

and 

■ A stable lubricating film. 

Carefully selected 

additives (zinc- and heavy 

metal free) guarantee 

■ Reliable corrosion 

protection, 

■ High wear protection 

and 

■ Excellent ageing 

stability. 

As a rule, all PLANTO 

products are fully miscible 

and compatible with 

conventional mineral oils – 

changing to PLANTO is 

possible at any time but 

it should be remembered 

that mixtures with mineral 

oils diminish the ecological 

benefits. 

The ISO Guideline 15380 

should be observed when 

changing systems with 

mineral or synthetic oils to 

rapeseed or ester oil-based 

lubricants. Please refer to 

our FTI 908 "Checklist for 

the changeover" and FTI 909 

"Changeover procedure" 

for additional information. 

The PLANTO program has 

a reliable lubricant for every 

application: 

■ PLANTOHYD and 

PLANTOSYN hydraulic oils 

■ PLANTOGEAR gear and 

general lubricating oils 

■ PLANTOTAC tacky 

lubricants 

■ PLANTOLUBE machine, 

lubricating and 

compressor oils 

■ PLANTOLUBE POLAR 

low-temperature, 

multifunctional oils 

■ PLANTOGEL greases

Particularly for applications

Synthetic ester based 

multigrade hydraulic oils. 

■ All PLANTOHYD S Series 

and N Series hydraulic 

oils display multigrade 

characteristics due to 

their outstanding natural 

viscosity-temperature 

behaviour and are thus 

rationalisation products. 

All PLANTOHYD products 

fulfil or surpass the minimum 

technical requirements 

of hydraulic oils as 

laid-down in ISO 15380. 

■ All ester oils 

(synthetic + natural) 

are based on >50% 

renewable resources. 

■ PLANTOGEAR gear and 

general lubricating oils are 

also universally applicable. 

They are environmentally 

compatible, non-toxic and 

especially suitable for use 

in ecologically-sensitive 

areas as well as in the 

water industry. 

■ PLANTOLUBE SC 46 S: 

biodegradable air

PLANTOLUBE L 32 GN: 

biodegradable lubricating 

oil for total loss application 

(graphite containing). 

PLANTOLUBE TUNA 85 S: 

biodegradable turbine oil 

(saturated ester). 

■ In the field of total-loss 

lubrication, the consumption 

of mineral oil-free, 

tacky PLANTOTAC lubricants 

is significantly less 

than of common machine 

lubricants. This is especially 

the case for central lubrication 

or manual systems. 

■ PLANTOGEL greases are 

technically excellent and 

ecologically-friendly alternatives 

to conventional 

mineral oil-based products.
