LE Low Tox Turbine Oil ISO68
LE Low Tox® Turbine Oil (6413) delivers long-lasting performance equivalent to conventional turbine oils while providing lower toxicity than biodegradable turbine oils. Its formulation of highly refined mineral oil and specially selected additives offers low toxicity without sacrificing lubrication performance or shortening change intervals – with no worry of premature oxidation or failure as with most vegetable oil-based products. It meets or exceeds OEM requirements for many generators, turbines and governors, and is especially suited to hydroelectric facilities and flood control structures. LE’s Low Tox oils are 55 percent biodegradable in 28 days.
