PLANTOSYN 3268 ECO
Description
PLANTOSYN 3268 is an environmentally friendly, high-performance hydraulic and lubricating oil based on saturated synthetic esters. It is designed for the toughest demands in construction machinery, earth moving equipment, forestry and agriculture machineries. Suitable also for loading cranes, floor conveyor vehicles and hydraulic platform systems in trucks.
PLANTOSYN 3268 is the environmentally friendly alternative to mineral oil based hydraulic fluids. PLANTOSYN 3268 is recommended by leading manufacturers of machinery and hydraulic components. The product is not water-soluble. If leakage occurs or oil is lost, e.g. if a hydraulic hose bursts, PLANTOSYN 3268 is held largely in the upper layers of the soil, where it is rapidly biodegraded. PLANTOSYN 3268 is rapidly biodegradable, > 60% according to the world-wide accepted OECD 301 B test.

Applications
PLANTOSYN 3268 is recommended for use in hydraulic systems which require engine oils or hydraulic fluids of corresponding viscosity classes (ISO VG 32, 46, 68). The operating temperatures should be between - 30 °C and 100 °C. Temperatures above 100 °C are permitted for a short period. After changing over to PLANTOSYN 3268, the oil filters in the hydraulic system should be inspected after 50 hours of operation and be replaced if necessary, in the interest of operating safety. The change-over guidelines according to ISO 15380 should be observed.

FUCHS Recommendations
The information shown on this side is based on the experience and expertise of the FUCHS Group in the development and manufacture of lubricants and represents the current state of the art. The performance of our products can be influenced by a series of factors, especially the specific use, the method of application, the operational environment, component pretreatment, possible external contamination, etc. For this reason, universally valid statements about the function of our products are not possible. Our products must not be used in aircraft/spacecraft or parts thereof. This does not apply if the products can be removed again before the components are fitted in an aircraft/spacecraft. The information given here represents general, non-binding guidelines. No warranty expressed or implied is given concerning the properties of the product or its suitability for any given application. We therefore recommend that you consult a FUCHS Group application engineer to discuss application conditions and the performance criteria of the products before the products are used. It is the responsibility of the user to test the functional suitability of the products and to use them with the corresponding care. Our products are subject to continuous further development. We therefore retain the right to change our product range, the products, and their manufacturing processes as well as all details on this side at any time and without warning, provided that no customer-specific agreements exist that require otherwise.
