The Difference Between Panolin HLP Synth and Panolin HLP Synth-E: A Comprehensive Comparison

Panolin HLP Synth and Panolin HLP Synth-E are both synthetic hydraulic fluids used in industrial applications. Although they have similar names, there are some significant differences between these two products that may affect their performance and applications.

The latest edition of the European Ecolabel is the most demanding compared to the other labels. The Ecolabel includes all the demands on product biodegradability as requested by the Blue Angel, but includes extra demand on base oil origin, minimum bio content and packaging. That is why 'Blaue Engel' Blue Angel is not listed anymore.

Panolin HLP Synth:

Panolin HLP Synth is a high-quality synthetic hydraulic fluid composed of fully saturated synthetic esters. This fluid meets rigorous specifications, including those of Bosch Rexroth. It provides excellent thermal stability and wear protection, resulting in longer life for hydraulic components.

Panolin HLP Synth-E:

Panolin HLP Synth-E, on the other hand, is a variant of Panolin HLP Synth designed with a focus on environmental friendliness. While it also contains fully saturated synthetic esters, it does not have all the Bosch Rexroth specifications that Panolin HLP Synth does. The distinguishing feature of Panolin HLP Synth-E is the ECO label, indicated by the letter "E" in the name, indicating that the product is biodegradable and meets stricter environmental standards.

The Importance of "EAL" Specifications:

The addition of "EAL" to the product name indicates that the hydraulic fluid is even more environmentally friendly. This is because after breakdown, the residue is less environmentally polluting. As a result, the specifications of fluids with "EAL" may differ from those without this addition, which is important to keep in mind when selecting the right fluid for a specific application.

 

What is the main difference between Panolin HLP Synth and Panolin HLP Synth-E?

The main difference is that Panolin HLP Synth-E focuses on environmental friendliness and carries an ECO label, while Panolin HLP Synth meets more technical specifications, such as those of Bosch Rexroth.

What does the addition of "EAL" to the product name mean and how does it affect the specifications of the hydraulic fluid?

The addition of "EAL" indicates that the hydraulic fluid is even more environmentally friendly, with less environmentally polluting residue after breakdown. This can lead to different specifications compared to fluids without this addition, making it important to accurately understand the requirements of the application when choosing the right fluid.
