Biodegradable oil, or oil that is not harmful to the environment, is nothing new. The oil industry has long worked to develop oils that can be used in different environments without damaging surrounding ecosystems. In industries such as mining, quarrying, and rail, for example, rapid biodegradability is a strong requirement in order to adhere to strict environmental protocols, so biodegradable oils are sourced and used.

Tyne & Wear Oils regularly source specialist biodegradable oils, most recently this barrel of PLANTOLUBE CGLP 68 S slideway oil, which is based on synthetic esters and has very good biodegradability. An excellent slideway product, this prevents stick-slip and has outstanding carrying capacity and wear protection. The demulsifying behaviour of PLANTOLUBE CGLP 68 S is optimally co-ordinated with the FUCHS PLANTOCOOL line of environmentally-friendly cutting fluids.

This barrel of biodegradable oil was a special order for a long-standing customer, but we also keep a small range ex-stock for immediate purchase, which at the time of writing includes biodegradable hydraulic oil which can be found HERE.
