NEW NA-LUBE ® BL-1232 EL
Environmentally Driven...Performance Proven
Throughout the world, environmentally friendly lubricants are being developed to replace
older technologies that are non-renewable and are contaminates when released
into soil or water. Almost universally, the challenge formulators face when developing
these new, replacement products is maintaining or surpassing the performance
characteristics of the original.
A particular area of focus for new greener lubricants has been hydraulic fluids, given
their propensity to leak and the ensuing ground and water contamination. Here too,
the challenge has been finding additives and additive packages that are eco-friendly
and deliver the performance needed. In that regard King Industries is proud to introduce
NA-LUBE BL-1232 EL, an ashless, multifunctional additive package specifically
designed for use in ester based systems including hydraulic fluids. Additive Package
NA-LUBE BL-1232 EL has been evaluated against the European Ecolabel criteria for
lubricants (Commission Decision 2011/381/EU). Based on that evaluation, NA-LUBE
BL-1232 EL, when used as a single additive, qualifies for use in a final product eligible
for the European Eco-Label in a concentration up to 1.8% by weight.

C = Non-Biodegradable and Non-Bioaccumulative
D = Not Toxic

* When used in combination with other additives, then the maximum treat level needs
to be redefined.
Eco-Label: Formulators of final products will need to provide additional information (e.g.
performance test results, toxicity and biodegradability data on base oils and any other
additives, components) in order to use the European Eco-Label on the final product.
Regulatory Labeling: The incorporation of this additive into a formulation does not require
any additional regulatory labeling.

NA-LUBE ® BL-1232 EL Applications
NA-LUBE BL-1232 EL is a multifunctional, ashless additive package that
imparts excellent antiwear and anti-corrosion protection. It was specifically
designed for use in ester based hydraulic systems where corrosion protection
and filterability are key performance requirements. Examples of its performance
in both saturated and unsaturated esters follow.
NA-LUBE BL-1232 EL is recommended for use in “total loss lubricants”, including
chain saw oils, hydraulic fluids and concrete release agents.

Saturated vs. Unsaturated Esters
Using the baseline data obtained from the previous example in saturated esters,
NA-LUBE BL-1232 EL was further evaluated using an unsaturated ester. As shown,
here too, its addition improved a number of critical performance characteristics.
