Great Lakes Chemical Corporation has announced that its Durad 310M phosphorus-based specialty additive has been approved by the German Federal Environment Agency (Umweltbundesamt-UBA) for use in rapidly biodegradable hydraulic fluids and lubricants. Durad 310M is believed to be the first phosphorus-based additive approved by the UBA for use in hydraulic fluids and lubricants seeking Germany’s Blue Angel certification. The Blue Angel eco-label was first introduced in Germany in 1978 and is granted to products and services meeting its high environmental and industrial health and safety specifications. Durad 310M provides both anti-wear and extreme-pressure performance for mineral lubricating oils and synthetic fluids. Durad 310M is a triaryl phosphate-based additive, free of chlorine and sulphur and is of particular benefit to those formulating products that may be released into the environment. Durad 310M is used in general industrial applications such as hydraulic, gear, circulatory and metal working oils. Durad 310M also offers value to automotive oils.
