Kleen & Green Water-Base Hydraulic Fluid transforms car wash hydraulics with a biodegradable, environmentally-friendly formula that performs in even the coldest conditions. Its vibrant green color is unique and makes leak detection easier, while its unique additives prevent sludge, boosting system efficiency and cooling. This fluid’s rapid biodegradability protects ecosystems, positioning it as a top choice for sustainable car wash operations.
Warning: DO NOT use with polyurethane seals, paper cartridge filters, or non-anodized aluminum.
Kleen & Green Water-Base Hydraulic Fluid embodies an environmentally-conscious water-based formula that distinguishes itself through its eco-friendly characteristics. The glycol in this fluid is a byproduct of making biodiesel, ensuring that the product supports sustainable industrial practices. Its green hue was intentionally selected to set it apart from traditional car wash hydraulic fluids, signifying its role in promoting sustainable solutions. Thanks to its green color, leaks in hydraulic lines are easy to detect. The fluid offers a consistency comparable to light syrup with a sweet amine odor. Kleen & Green maintains its ability to flow even in temperatures below freezing down to -47° F. Mineral-based hydraulic oils will thicken and become unmanageable in extremely cold temperatures. This capacity for cold-weather performance makes Kleen & Green a reliable choice for varied climatic conditions. Unlike other water-based car wash hydraulic fluids, it blends seamlessly with older water glycol systems, offering versatility and compatibility. Purified water is added to the formula to help manage viscosity, and enhance fire resistance. Together with its enhanced additive package, this oil-free environmentally-friendly formulation has been proven to eliminate sludge and varnish thus improving hydraulic system performance. As a result, this improves mechanical efficiency and heat transfer while also ensuring a cooler running system. This also significantly reduces the environmental footprint compared to traditional mineral oil fluids. This feature positions Kleen & Green as an innovative and sustainable choice in hydraulic fluids.
Traditional hydraulic fluids are not only toxic but are essentially non-biodegradable, which poses significant environmental risks. The environmental impact of fluid releases is considered hazardous, often necessitating HAZMAT reporting and, in some cases, HAZMAT callouts, underscoring the critical nature of such incidents. Mineral oil-based hydraulic fluids can severely compromise wastewater treatment processes if they reach effluent systems, easily overwhelming the natural degradation process. If allowed to reach wetlands, streams, rivers, lakes, or the ocean, it becomes a toxic threat to wildlife and the overall health of the ecosphere into which it is released. When released into the soil, traditional mineral oils can render the soil polluted and unusable, requiring often costly and extensive remedial actions, such as soil removal and incineration to prevent long-term damage.
In contrast, Kleen & Green distinguishes itself by being classified as a "readily biodegradable" fluid, which means it will degrade by 60% within 28 days of release, presenting a clear advantage in mitigating environmental impact. Compared to other car wash water glycol fluids, it degrades even more rapidly, offering enhanced sustainability benefits that align with eco-conscious industrial practices. This emphasizes its environmentally friendly credentials and positions Kleen & Green as a leading choice for minimizing ecological footprints in hydraulic fluid applications.
