AW Hydraulic Oil & Anti-Wear Hydraulic Fluids
Anti-Wear Hydraulic Oil for Industrial Hydraulic Systems
Val-Lube AW Hydraulic Oils are high-performance general-purpose hydraulic oils formulated with refined paraffinic base oils to provide excellent anti-wear protection, oxidation stability, and corrosion inhibition, as well as foam and aeration suppression. All grades have excellent demulsibility, allowing water to separate quickly from the hydraulic fluid to maintain system performance.
These premium AW hydraulic oils are specially formulated to suppress foaming while allowing rapid air release, improving hydraulic system performance and helping to prevent pump cavitation. Advanced oxidation inhibitors help control sludge and varnish deposits while extending hydraulic fluid service life.
Val-Lube AW Hydraulic Oils provide reliable performance in industrial hydraulic systems, air compressors, machine tools, hoists, industrial bearings, and circulating lubrication systems, including splash, bath, and ring lubrication systems for bearings and gears.
