Introduction
When operating in environmentally sensitive areas, the right lubrication is crucial—not only for equipment performance but also for compliance and environmental protection. Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EALs) are designed to offer superior lubrication while minimizing environmental impact. JAX Bio-Guard™ EALs provide exceptional performance for agricultural applications, ensuring machinery runs smoothly without compromising sustainability.
EAL Solutions for Agricultural Applications
Agricultural operations must balance equipment longevity with environmental responsibility, especially when working near soil and water sources. JAX Bio-Guard lubricants provide essential protection for farming machinery while supporting sustainable practices.
Hydraulic Fluids
JAX Bio-Guard™ Hydraulic Fluids are used in tractors, irrigation systems, and other farm equipment, helping maintain hydraulic system efficiency while preventing contamination. These fluids feature a biodegradable synthetic formulation that outperforms vegetable oil-based hydraulic fluids. Their high viscosity indices and low pour points allow for extended temperature performance, ensuring superior startup fluidity in cold temperatures and stable lubrication in high heat conditions. Advanced additive technology includes non-detergent, ashless antiwear protection, rust inhibitors, antioxidants, and foam suppressants to enhance durability and efficiency. These hydraulic fluids meet US EPA VGP and VIDA environmental requirements.
Gear Oils
JAX Bio-Guard™ Gear Oils are essential for agricultural gear systems, ensuring smooth operation and long-term reliability in challenging field conditions. These oils conform to EAL standards, offering excellent stability across a wide temperature range. Their high viscosity index and wax-free synthetic formulation make them ideal for agricultural applications where environmental protection is a priority. They are hydrolytically stable, allowing for effective water separation, and include proprietary extreme pressure additives, antioxidants, rust inhibitors, and anti-foam agents to ensure superior protection against rust and foaming. Additionally, these gear oils meet AGMA ratings for extreme pressure gear oils.
Grease
JAX Bio-Guard™ Grease is perfect for applications such as bushings, pins, bearings and joints, providing exceptional water resistance and protection against wear. It complies with major environmental standards, including the European Eco-label and US EPA VGP requirements. This grease offers outstanding water resistance, preventing washout in wet agricultural environments. Its high-performance lithium complex thickener and polymer technology enhance longevity, while its industry-leading extreme pressure and antiwear performance provide superior equipment protection.
