Chevron has introduced its Clarity Bio EliteSyn AW, a hydraulic fluid designed to meet the evolving needs of the marine and construction industries while championing environmental stewardship. As governments worldwide tighten regulations to protect our planet, Chevron remains at the forefront of introducing new options to support those initiatives, launching Clarity Bio EliteSyn AW as the solution to bridge the gap between environmental responsibility and high-performance hydraulic fluid requirements.
At its core, Clarity Bio EliteSyn AW represents a significant advancement in hydraulic fluid technology. Not only does it meet stringent government environmental regulations by meeting or exceeding the biodegradation, toxicity, and bioaccumulation limits, it has a high level of renewable carbon of ≥90%. It also excels in performance, ensuring that customers do not have to compromise on quality or efficiency.
