ECOLOGICAL FLUID
COASTAL LIFT SUPPLIES
In compliance with the recent environmental protection regulations, it is recommended to replace the mineral or synthetic oil by the biodegradable Ecological Fluid.
The GMV Ecological Fluid is a hydraulic synthetic-based fluid designed to assure optimal performances against wear, tear and material fatigue on oleodynamic lifting systems such as elevators, goods elevators and home lifts. The fluid has half the elasticity coefficient of traditional mineral oil, resulting in a less elastic elevator.

The synthetic base provides an improved stability and a higher viscosity index: the GMV Ecological Fluid is suitable for systems particularly exposed to fire risks and soil pollution. Environmental pollution risks will be reduced, as required by the standard EN 81-20.
In technical terms, the fluid has a biodegradability index of >70%.
In case of accidental spilling, the owner of the system is protected from any penal consequences.
