Chevron Corp. introduced its Clarity Bio EliteSyn AW, a hydraulic fluid technology designed to sustainably meet the needs of the marine and construction industries, according to a Sept. 10 release.

Chevron said the hydraulic fluid meets or excedes the biodegradation, toxicity and bioaccumulation limits set by government regulatory standards.

The product also holds a renewable carbon level of at least 90%. Chevron expects Clarity Bio to eliminate the need to change seals on equipment when switching products, ensuring a “seamless transition for customers.”

Chevron said the product is compliant with EU Ecolabel, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Vessel General Permit (VGP), the Swedish Standard for environmentally acceptable lubricants and the OECD definition of “readily biodegradable.”

"Clarity Bio EliteSyn AW demonstrates our commitment to environmental sustainability without sacrificing performance," said Zach Sutton, specialist at Chevron’s industrial Sector. "This next-generation hydraulic fluid not only meets regulatory standards but exceeds expectations in terms of performance, compatibility, and longevity due to its renewable base stock formulation."
