Why use DECON™ AW or DECON™ ZF?
Our hydraulic oils are one of the more sensitive oils. They are easily susceptible to contamination and have to endure harsh conditions which put their additives to work. With hydraulic oils one of the main additives is the antiwear additive which protects the internals of the machine from wear. However, these are usually quickly depleted. DECON™ AW & DECON™ ZF have been formulated with our patented Solvancer® technology to keep deposits under control (keeping the oil clean) while also replenishing the antiwear additive. This way, two of the major issues with hydraulic oils are solved with one solution. DECON AW is used for regular hydraulic oils while DECON ZF is used for zinc-free or ashless hydraulic oils.
Details & Specifications
How does it work?
Its formulation is based on the patented Solvancer technology which uses Hansen’s solubility principles to increase the solubility of varnish in the system, so it doesn’t stick to the insides and gets dissolved back into the oil. When varnish or deposits are removed, systems usually see a decrease in temperature as varnish would have acted as an insulator in the past. DECON™ AW & DECON™ ZF will protect the oil from forming varnish producing long term deposit control performance while also replenishing the antiwear additives present in the oil thus extending the life of the oil.

What are the benefits of using DECON AW or DECON ZF?
- Extends the life of your oil and helps with elevated bearing temperature troubleshooting
- Transforms your oil from a consumable to an asset with the ability to remove varnish, carbon and sludge from circulating lubrication systems, bearings, hydraulic systems, etc
- No-risk guarantee, does not adversely impact lubricant performance including oxidation stability, anti-wear, gear loading,
demulsibility, foam and air release - Works quickly to dissolve varnish from internal system components; resists re-adhesion when cooled
- Reduces carbon emissions through demand reduction and system flushing not required after use; safe for extended use
- Benign towards in-service oils, seals, paints and coatings commonly used in systems
- Rapid reduction of the oil’s varnish potential as measured by MPC, UC and Particle Counts
Where can DECON AW or DECON ZF be used?
DECON AW or DECON ZF are ideal for keeping servo valves, heat exchangers and many other hydraulic systems clean and free from deposits. They can also be used in:
- Hydraulics e.g. injection molding, automotive presses, paper machine hydraulics, robotics
- Steel plants e.g. hydraulics
- Marine industry e.g. cargo pump hydraulics, rudder hydraulics
- Mining
- Wind Energy e.g. pitch oil systems
