These universal high-performance, multigrade hydraulic oils are suitable for use in stationary and mobile hydraulic systems. Benefits include improved efficiency and, in particular, increased service life and change intervals. The products have excellent low-temperature behavior and a wide temperature application range. Due to the high efficiency, energy and thus CO₂ can be saved. Products of this series meet the latest requirements of many mobile hydraulics manufacturers. Approvals according to BOSCH REXROTH RD90235 and RDE90245 as well as Denison HF0, HF1, HF2 are available.

The special gear and corrosion protection oils based on mineral oil with VCI (Vapour Corrosion Inhibitors) ensure reliable long-term corrosion protection in both the oil and vapour phases. The products are suitable for extended corrosion protection, especially in gearboxes that are stored and/or transported over a long period of time and equally for gearbox test rigs. They offer reliable wear protection, high scuffing resistance and good compatibility with gear oils. Accordingly, the products in the RENOLIN CLP VCI range can be used as fully-approved CLP industrial gear oils in accordance with DIN 51517-3.

The lubricating and hydraulic oils of the RENOLIN MR series are characterized by excellent cleaning and dirt-carrying capacity. Furthermore, the products offer special corrosion protection in addition to a long service life. They are suitable for all hydraulic systems that are exposed to large temperature fluctuations and humidity or operate outdoors, e.g. in sluices, weirs, machines in low ambient temperatures. The lubricating and hydraulic oils meet and exceed the requirements for hydraulic oils according to: DIN 51524: HVLPD, ISO 6743-4: HV (with DD properties).

The series consists of fully synthetic gear and circulation oils based on special polyalkylene glycols (PAG), for highest thermal loads. The oils are characterized by their very high oxidation and aging stability, high viscosity index (shear stable) and excellent viscosity-temperature behavior. In addition, the oils have the highest load carrying capacity, low friction coefficients, high FZG value, high micro-pitting resistance, excellent FE8 performance and very good pitting resistance. The oils of the RENOLIN PG series exceed the minimum requirements for lubricating oils CLP-PG according to DIN 51517-3; ISO 6743-6 and ISO 12925-1: CKC, CKD, CKE, (CKS), CKT. Approvals from renowned gear manufacturers are available.

Fully synthetic high-performance industrial gear oils based on PAO (polyalphaolefins) of the latest generation. The gear oils have a very high, natural, shear-stable viscosity index and excellent low-temperature behaviour. Other advantages include excellent wear protection, high micropitting resistance and very good corrosion protection. RENOLIN UNISYN XT has clear advantages, not only over mineral oil-based industrial gear oils, but also in particular over industrial gear oils on a conventional PAO basis. This is reflected in the significantly improved viscositytemperature behavior (VI), excellent low-temperature behavior, associated with a very wide operating temperature range as well as a higher additive reserve and better robustness in practical use. Extended oil change intervals possible. The industrial gear oils of the RENOLIN UNISYN XT series are approved by wellknown gear manufacturers.

The RENOLIN ZAF B HT range excels through high thermal and oxidative resistance and excellent wear-protection characteristics. In combination with selected mineral oil-based solvent raffinates, the innovative zinc-free and ash-free additive technology guarantees excellent hydraulic and gear oil properties.

Universal zinc- and ash-free, detergent hydraulic oil and industrial gear oil with excellent aging stability and very high wear protection. Based on the latest low-sulfur and hydrogenated base oil generation and innovative additive technology. RENOLIN ZAF D HT PLUS meets and exceeds the minimum requirements for hydraulic oils according to DIN 51524-2: HLPD, ISO 6743-4: HM and for gear oils according to DIN 51517-3: CLP and ISO 6743-6: CKC. Application when Brugger value: ≥ 30N/mm² is required.

This multi-purpose grease is based on the GII base oil generation and the latest additive technology. With the new, improved formulation of RENOLIT LX 2, the range of applications is very broad: The grease is particularly suitable for use in rolling bearings, electric motor bearings, clutch release bearings of e.g. crane vehicles, construction machinery, forging presses, commercial vehicle wheel bearings and machine tools. The grease is water-resistant, ageing-resistant, thermally and mechanically highly stressable, stable in operation and is further characterized by good corrosion protection.

The developers at FUCHS have succeeded in developing a new, special lubricating grease RENOLIT PU-LFT 1 (polyurea, low friction tripod) for constant velocity joints of passenger cars. Extremely low coefficients of friction in a steel to steel contact and a sufficient endurance/ durability of the grease in the joint, are the main characteristics of RENOLIT PU-LFT 1, which are usually difficult to combine.

ECOCOOL^® GLOBAL 1000 is a new state-of-the-art, boron-free, water-miscible metalworking fluid with exceptional quality properties for high-performance metalworking applications.

With ECOCOOL PHH AL, FUCHS has developed a universally deployable cooling lubricant for aerospace applications that is suitable for all kinds of material groups, is boron-free and fulfills the requirements of REACH and TSCA. Beside the standard market engine materials (titanium, nickel and aluminum alloys), the test also had to be passed for older high-strength steels to be approved for use at Lufthansa Technik.

In addition to the oily protective film, this series of corrosion protection oils also offers additional vapor phase corrosion protection (VCI, Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors). This also protects surfaces that have not been completely wetted. The products of the ANTICORIT BGI range are one of the standard preservatives of leading European bearing manufacturers and are available in various viscosity settings. The products are easy and versatile to use and SVHC-free.

With its ANTICORIT CPX^® range, FUCHS has developed a new formulation category for long-term corrosion protection (10 years). This new wax system guarantees controlled runoff inhibition, both at increased temperatures and at normal ambient temperatures, without compromising penetration into gaps and flanges. It also easy to remove. Individual parameters – such as drying time, run-off tendency, period of corrosion protection and film flexibility – can be customized according to customer requirements. CPX^® technology is extremely versatile and suitable for a whole host of different applications, whether cavity protection, long-term warehousing or transport protection.

The products of the ANTICORIT DF series are characterized by their simple and versatile applicability. The protective films formed are very thin and can be oily or waxy, depending on the product type. The formulation of the products in the ANTICORIT DF range enables rapid and intensive water displacement and clear phase separation between water and product. All products are generally very compatible with common re-lubricants, therefore rarely/no removal of the protective film is necessary before shoring. The worldwide uniform formulation and availability is another advantage of this product group.

WISURA FSP 5002 is a high-performance cutting and metalforming oil that contains no chlorine compounds and thereby represents a complete innovation in this product field.

With its GLEITMO SFL 9025 product, FUCHS has succeeded in developing a dry coating that contains a solid lubricant and is used for transmission parts in the automotive industry. This coating enables a controlled break-in process, which takes effect in the first few operating hours of the gearbox and leads to a significant increase in service life.
