Biodegradable lubricants are used to reduce the environmental impact in case of accidental leakage but they must be disposed of in the same way as conventional lubricants.

The degradation of the biocompatible material occurs only in particular conditions that are those that occur in the soil or in the environment.

Biodegradable products are made with raw materials that can respond very differently to certain materials, especially seals. Pakelo products are tested to ensure the utmost compatibility with the materials commonly employed in various circuits using standard products.

Ecolabel certification, in addition to biodegradability adds a number of requirements like low toxicity to the aquatic environment, a large share of components from renewable sources, the use of packaging from recycled material and a series of very strict technical performance requirements.

Increasingly public procurements include among the requirements the biodegradability of the used products (CAM Minimum Environmental Criteria) and therefore also lubricants.

All engine Manufacturers perform tests on conventional oils, in fact, the use of biodegradable oils, in addition to being critical for high temperatures, it is of little use since the presence of pollutants such as fuel and/or unburnt particulates make the product non-biodegradable already after the first operation.

Using selected raw materials it is possible to obtain performance levels and elongations in replacement intervals thus obtaining a lower average/hourly cost. It is good distrust too "cheap" products that can hide non-performing raw materials, which could generate unexpected maintenance costs.

Truth to be told the flash points of products formulated with esters are normally higher than those formulated with mineral equivalents.

The cooling fluids we produce are highly biodegradable. They provide excellent protection against freezing and boiling for a period of time above the average of conventional antifreezes, also favoring less maintenance of the circuit components. With the aim to provide products with the minimum impact on the health of customers, Pakelo promotes a range that is absolutely free of boron, while maintaining the qualitative performance of the substance.

The Ecolabel brand is designed to consolidate all the requirements of the individual states of the European Union. If local compliance is requested (for example, Blaue Engel in Germany), Ecolabel products can most certainly be used.
