Lubricantes marinos de Repsol: cumplimos con los criterios medioambientales EAL y Ecolabel

Maker Bio Telex ISO VG 46 and 68 oils and Protector Bio Calcium EP R2 V200 grease, designed for use in equipment exposed to the marine environment, comply with the criteria to be considered environmentally acceptable lubricants (EAL) by the US EPA Vessel General Permit regulation. They also have the European Ecolabel certification.

What EAL means and why it is relevant

The EAL classification identifies lubricants designed to reduce environmental impact when there is a possibility of spillage or leakage into water. To be categorized as such, they must comply with strict biodegradability standards, low aquatic toxicity, and absence of bioaccumulation.

In this way, the environmental risk is reduced in the event of incidents on ships and applications where there is an oil-water interface - horns, hydraulic equipment on the deck, fish processing equipment, maneuvering propellers - or in infrastructures such as reservoir sluice gates or forestry machinery.

Applications of marine synthetic oil

Maker Bio Telex oil is a hydraulic fluid formulated with synthetic esters and ashless additives, suitable for hydraulic and control systems, hydrostatic couplings, or moderately loaded dividers. It offers anti-wear protection, very good filterability, and a high viscosity index, which allows working in a wide range of temperatures.

This fluid is intended to replace mineral hydraulic oils when a biodegradable product is required. To make the most of its performance, a thorough washing of the circuit is recommended before the change.

Applications of marine biodegradable grease

The Protector Bio Calcium EP R2 grease provides the adhesion and resistance required for work with a high load and the presence of water. Its calcium thickener and state-of-the-art additives protect against oxidation and wear.

These characteristics make it a solid choice in gate greasing, agricultural equipment, and forestry work.

Technical evidence and trust in everyday life

Behind these developments there are validated technology and formulations designed for the reality of each application: fewer breakdowns, protected equipment, and safer operations in sensitive environments. Technical evidence - regulations, tests, and certifications - translates to trust, peace of mind, and continuity of work, especially where sustainability is a key requirement.

By complying with the EAL requirements in the Maker Bio Telex ISO VG 46 and 68 and Protector Bio Calcium EP R2 V200 products, Repsol Lubricants continues to deepen its portfolio of solutions that protect equipment and care for the environment where they operate.
