Across Australia and around the world, businesses are rapidly shifting toward cleaner, safer, and more sustainable lubrication solutions. The demand for bio-hydraulic oils and bio chain & bar oils is increasing faster than ever — and there are three key reasons why:
Environmental Regulations Are Getting TougherGovernments are pushing industries to reduce pollution, especially in environmentally sensitive areas such as:
Forestry & timber harvesting Agriculture & farming Marine & waterways Construction work near parks & riversTraditional mineral oils can contaminate soil and water if spilled or leaked. New environmental rules now require biodegradable lubricants that break down naturally without harming ecosystems.
New Equipment = New Oil RequirementsModern machinery is built with tighter components and higher performance systems. Manufacturers are now recommending, and sometimes requiring:
Low-toxicity oils Higher lubricity to protect components Better oxidation & wear resistanceThis is especially critical for equipment like:
a) Chainsaws & forestry harvesters
b) Hydraulic systems in tractors & excavators
c) Electric & hybrid machinery
High-performance bio-oils extend component life, reduce downtime, and protect warranties, a major win for operators and fleet managers.
Businesses Want to Protect Their ReputationCustomers today are asking:
“Is this environmentally safe?”
“What are you doing to reduce carbon impact?”

Bio Hydraulic Oils – for mobile & industrial systems Bio Chain & Bar Oils, strong “tackifier” adhesion with low fling-offBetter for the planet. Better for brand image.
