HELIOS-VR

  • Base Oil Technology: Synthetic
  • Viscosity Range: ISO 22-100
  • Viscosity Index: 154-177

AMSOIL Industrial HELIOS-VR Synthetic Varnish-Resistant Hydraulic Oil is engineered to reduce varnish, provide superior wear protection and maximize oil and filter life to improve hydraulic equipment reliability in severe service.

  • Superior thermal and oxidative stability reduces varnish, sludge and deposits to maintain system cleanliness and performance.
  • Extreme-low-temperature startup protection and extreme-high- temperature wear protection for long pump and motor life.
  • Inhibits foam to reduce sponginess and improve responsiveness.
  • Superior hydrolytic stability and demulsibility for improved filterability.
  • Inhibits rust and corrosion to maximize component life.
  • Conditions seals and hoses to help prevent leaks.
  • Resists electrical conductivity (dielectric strength >35kv).

 

AMSOIL Industrial reduces customer’s energy consumption by 13.7%* with HELIOS-VR. Learn more by reading our blog.
