Because EXTRALUBE ZX1 does not contain any solids it is ideal for using in hydraulic systems to reduce running temperature and improve efficiency by reducing internal friction thereby improving component life
To use EXTRALUBE ZX1 in hydraulics we advise a 1% ratio of ZX1 to Hydraulic oil, if possible bypass the hydraulic oil tank and introduce the ZX1 directly into the working part of the system which will ensure that the ZX1 gets to the working parts quicker.
An example we witnessed many years ago was a JCB with a concrete breaker attached running at 7/8ths throttle to acquire the ideal breaking action, 1% of EXTRALUBE ZX1 was introduced to the hydraulic oil tank and within approximately 15 minutes the throttle was backed off to 5/8ths retaining the same breaking action.
