Cat ® Bio HYDO Advanced
Sustainable Development
Long Drain Intervals
Caterpillar is working to make it easier for you to reach your sustainable
development goals. Cat Bio HYDO Advanced is formulated to provide the
performance and protection of a premium hydraulic fluid, while safeguarding
the environment. This has been recognized by a number of environmental
organizations.
Eco-labeling organizations serve as a guide for consumers looking for
solutions that support sustainable development. Products are evaluated and
certified with an eco-label when certain criteria are met.
In the past, switching from a
mineral-based hydraulic fluid to a
biodegradable fluid meant shorter
drain intervals and increased
operation cost. This was true even for
synthetic bio-fluids.
Cat Bio HYDO Advanced is different.
It performs like a premium mineralbased
hydraulic fluid.
Datasheets
Cat Bio HYDO Advanced has been awarded a number of
eco-labels, including the EU Flower. The EU Flower is the only
eco-label that covers all aspects of sustainability, including
product performance, toxicology, environmental protection, and
the utilization of renewable resources.
Positive CO 2 Balance
Cat Bio HYDO Advanced uses 99% bio-based carbon. Unlike fossil carbon, biobased
carbons are derived from renewable sources. This means that Cat Bio
HYDO Advanced is carbon neutral.
Even during severe applications, Cat
Bio HYDO Advanced can be taken
up to 6,000 hours with S•O•S Fluid
Analysis.
In testing, Cat Bio HYDO Advanced
demonstrated performance similar
to that of Cat HYDO Advanced and
outperformed a competitive biobased
hydraulic fluid by three times.
Some competitive biodegradable
hydraulic fluids are composed of more
than 90% fossil carbon, giving them a
negative CO 2 balance.
