Special Notations:
Viscosity:
A 5% application of HYDRA MAXX in typical ISO 32, 46 and 68 hydraulic oils results in little or no change in viscosity or viscosity index of the oil.
Pour Point:
HYDRA MAXX imparts a positive influence to the pour point of most hydraulic oils. A typical ISO 32 oil with a pour point of -30oC (-22oF) improved to -38oC (-36oF) with the addition of 5% HYDRA MAXX.
Demulsibility:
HYDRA MAXX improves an oil's ability to separate water. A typical ISO 32 oil which normally requires 25 minutes for complete separation (using ASTM D1401) improved to only 15 minutes when 5% HYDRA MAXX was mixed with the oil.
Application:
HYDRA MAXX is recommended in hydraulic system applications where gear, piston and vane pumps are used to circulate oil and transmit power. HYDRA MAXX should be applied at 3% (30 mL/L or 4 oz./gal.) of the circulating oil volume in operating conditions over 0oC/32oF and at 5% (50 mL/L or 6 oz./gal.) of circulating oil volume in operating conditions where the temperature may drop below 0oC/32oF. HYDRA MAXX is recommended for use with mineral oils and polyalphaolefin and diester based synthetic fluids.
HYDRA MAXX is the first hydraulic treatment specifically designed to maintain maximum operating efficiency of your hydraulic system. This unique hydraulic system treatment from Power Up Lubricants works with your existing oil to provide long term protection for pumps, motors, valves, cylinders, seals and hoses. HYDRA MAXX is formulated with anti-wear and extreme pressure additives to reduce friction and wear and dramatically improve the hydraulic oil's ability to withstand heavy loading, shock and vibration. HYDRA MAXX also contains additives to improve corrosion inhibition, cold temperature flow and water separability.
Boundary Lubrication Protection
In independent Contact Gamma wear tests, HYDRA MAXX significantly reduced the amount of wear generated when a premium hydraulic oil alone was used. The results are provided graphically in Figure 1. Calculated estimates suggest that the use of HYDRA MAXX will extend equipment life 2.39 times by reducing wear up to 58%. |

Inhibits Rust and Corrosion
HYDRA MAXX has an excellent copper corrosion rating of 1b in the ASTM D130 Copper Corrosion test. A mixture of 5% HYDRA MAXX in straight paraffinic oil easily passes the ASTM D665 Rust Prevention Characteristics test. The photograph in Figure 2 shows the improvement in rust prevention.
Cold Weather Fluid Flow
HYDRA MAXX was mixed at 5% with typical R&O and AW hydraulic oils to determine its effect on the pour point of the oil. The results in Table 1 show that HYDRA MAXX lowers the pour point of these oils by up to 10oC (18oF). |

Demulsibility
The effect that HYDRA MAXX has on the water separation properties of typical hydraulic fluids was evaluated using ASTM method D1401. The improvements in demulsibility are given in Table 2. |
