ENVIRO-SAVE
HYDRAULIC TREATMENT

In Hydraulic Systems it is extremely important to keep wear metals and contaminants to a minimum and to
prevent them from circulating and causing premature wear on polished or finely finished machined bearing surfaces. Excessive
friction/wear changes clearances (original tolerances) and has a negative affect on performance. When it comes to comparing
Enviro-Save performance results in mechanical components, it is important to remember that mating bearing surfaces in Hydraulics are not
much different than engines or any other mechanical component bearing surfaces. Remember Enviro-Save reduces friction/wear in dentist
drills. It does not matter what the component configuration is because all bearing surfaces are rough under magnification and
Enviro-Save does not change bearing surface clearances (OEM tolerances)!!
Many times over the past 19 years Enviro-Save has eliminated leaks on Hydraulic cylinders, even on rebuilt
cylinders. Most people believe the chrome on a Hydraulic cylinder rod is very smooth, when in fact chrome is very rough under
magnification. The impregnation of the Enviro-Save resin is very effective in making a smoother chromed surface, all seals and seal
surfaces become smoother, thus providing an improved seal for fluids, and reducing contaminates from entering the system. When a new
Hydraulic System is treated right away with Enviro-Save, it is not uncommon to extend pump and seal life by several times the
norm.
After the Enviro-Save resin is impregnated into all friction/bearing surfaces – metal and fluid operating
temperatures are reduced and the smoother surfaces contribute to reduced oil turbulence, thus providing longer fluid life with improved
performance and protection. When it comes to maintenance, Hydraulic Systems are easily forgotten about or the fluids are not changed
frequently enough. Hydraulic fluids (oils) are normally just basic and elevated operating temperatures/excessive time on fluids
reduces component protection, which is why Enviro-Save is so effective in Hydraulics.
Enviro-Save resin is inert and therefore affords excellent protection against moisture/condensation damage
on components. Whenever a surface is impregnated with Enviro-Save resin, it is impossible for moisture to penetrate and cause
corrosion within the bearing surface asperity. When a Hydraulic System is contaminated with a substantial amount of water,
Enviro-Save will prevent catastrophic damage and/or failures.
Heat and friction can contribute to vibration and noise in Hydraulic Systems and it is very common for
Enviro-Save customers to comment that their equipment is much smoother and quieter after Enviro-Save.
APPLICATION: Enviro-Save Hydraulic Treatment recommended treatment quantities
are:
1. 2% of the entire Hydraulic System fluid capacity, i.e. 100 quart Hydraulic System would use
2 quarts of Enviro-Save.
2. 5% of the operating system capacity – excluding reservoir, i.e. 100 quart Hydraulic System
with 50 quart reservoir = 50 quart operating capacity = 2 1/2 quarts of Enviro-Save.
The reason for using two different treatment percentage amounts is due to some Hydraulic Systems having
very large fluid reservoirs for cooling purposes, i.e. marine applications where the Hydraulic tank is in the bottom of the boat and
cooling is restricted or in some factory/stationary Hydraulic Systems with massive tanks but small amounts of Hydraulic
equipment.
