Description:

Petro-Canada’s HYDREX MV Arctic 15 is a premium quality, high performance hydraulic fluid designed for extremely cold temperature operations, particularly in arctic climates.

HYDREX MV Arctic 15 starts with the HT purity process to produce a 99.9% pure, crystal clear base oil. By removing the impurities that can hinder the performance of competitive conventional oils, and blending in our specialty additives, HYDREX MV Arctic 15 delivers maximum performance.

Features & benefits:

• Developed for arctic conditions

• Allows hydraulic systems to start at temperatures as low as -45°C/-49°F, under no-load conditions

• Excellent low temperature flow characteristics result in easy start-ups and faster hydraulic system pressurization

• Outstanding anti-wear characteristics

• Extends equipment life for reduced maintenance and downtime

• Strong oxidation and thermal stability

• Minimizes sludge and varnish deposits to ensure smooth, reliable operation of hydraulic valves and actuators

• Helps extend the time between oil changes

• Excellent water separability and hydrolytic stability

• Reusable after water is removed because HYDREX MV Arctic 15 separates readily without loss of performance additives 

• Excellent rust and corrosion protection against water damage

• Iron and other metal components protected against water damage

• Inherently biodegradable as measured by OECD 301B

Applications:

Petro-Canada’s HYDREX MV Arctic 15 is recommended for vane, gear and axial piston hydraulic pumps for applications requiring ISO viscosity grades 10 and 15 or SAE viscosity grades OW, 5W or 10W. HYDREX MV Arctic 15 is also recommended for use in emergency shutdown valves or other critical low temperature heavy-duty hydraulic systems that are required to respond quickly and reliably, including extremely low temperatures down to -44°C/-47°F for automatic operated valves and -45°C/-49°F for manual operated valves.

HYDREX MV Arctic 15 is completely compatible with petroleum hydraulic fluids and polyalphaolefin (PAO) synthetic fluids and no special change-over procedures are necessary. However, to obtain maximum performance and service life benefits, systems should be thoroughly drained and flushed prior to filling with HYDREX MV Arctic 15. It is also compatible with typical seal materials and will not attack valve seals
