Category:

Shell Naturelle Fluid HF-E 15

Biodegradable hydraulic fluid for sensitive environments and industrial use

  • Fully synthetic ester formulation with ashless (zinc-free) anti-wear additives

  • Excellent wear protection proven in Eaton Vickers and Komatsu pump tests

  • Maintains system efficiency with stable filterability, air release, and water separation

  • Readily biodegradable with over 60% breakdown in OECD 301B test

  • Low toxicity to aquatic and microbial life (OECD/EPA test guidelines)

    –  80% biobased content (ASTM D6866)

  • Suitable for use in ISO 15380 HEES applications and meets multiple global environmental certifications

Global Product Code: 001A0870



Application:

Shell Naturelle Fluid HF-E 15 is ideal for use in mobile and industrial hydraulic systems operating in environmentally sensitive areas. It provides high performance in power transmission while minimizing ecological impact in the event of leakage or spillage. Common uses include equipment in construction, marine, forestry, and other exposed environments.

Performance Features & Benefits:

  • Biodegradability: Readily biodegradable (>60% in 28 days, OECD 301B), reducing environmental footprint.
  • Low Ecotoxicity: Classified as ‘not harmful’ to aquatic and microbial organisms per OECD/EPA WAF tests.
  • High Renewable Content: Over 80% biobased (ASTM D6866) for sustainability.
  • Wear Protection: Proven performance in Eaton Vickers and Komatsu pump tests using advanced ashless additives.
  • System Efficiency: Excellent filterability (even with water contamination), demulsibility, and anti-foam behavior.

Main Application Areas:

  • Hydraulic systems in environmentally sensitive zones (marine, forestry, construction)
  • Industrial equipment where ISO 11158 HM/HV or DIN 51524 HLP/HVLP fluids are specified
  • Exterior and mobile hydraulic systems exposed to temperature variation

Specifications & Approvals:

  • EU Ecolabel (License UK/027/029)
  • ISO 15380 HEES
  • VDMA 24568 (Synthetic Esters)
  • Dutch MIA/VAMIL Milieulijst
  • German Positivliste (Bioschmierstoffe)
  • USDA BioPreferred Program
  • Approved for Eaton Vickers hydraulic systems (Brochure 03-401-2010)
