This study represents the newly advanced formulation of hydraulic fluids for extended drain interval and introduces the performance results of used oil samples from various excavators. The used oil samples, in this paper, show that there is a sharp change in viscosity drop and moderate additive depletion when viscosity index of hydraulic oil is very high. For the extension of hydraulic fluid life, it is necessary to improve the stability of viscosity and oxidation. New target properties from the used oil analysis were proposed for extended life. Performance of newly developed hydraulic oil based on used oil analysis is compared with previously used one. The properties of new formulation are the viscosity index of 140 and improved thermal stability consists of VHVI base oil. Field test results showed the possibility of extension of fluid life. Additionally, for development of high performance product, new required propertied and performances were discussed.

There have been significant improvements in base oil quality in order to satisfy recent market needs. In particular requirements of passenger car motor oils have been leading the trend. Now, high quality base oils such as VHVI base oils and PAOs are to be formulated in order to meet the tight volatility specifications. The severe hydrocracking, hydro-isomerized dewaxing and hydro-finishing process with noble-metal based catalysts (named UCO lube process) developed by SK corporation has been introduced as one of economic hydroprocessing routes to produce high quality VHVI base oils and food grade white mineral oils from fuels hydrocracker residue. Product quality of UCO lube process is similar to PAO in. general performances and therefore provides satisfactory performance far all straightforward applications in general lubricants. However, when applied to specialty lubricants like transformer oils, spray oils and coning oils, severely hydrocracked base oils are known to have various compatibility problems with gas or surfactants formulated in them. These problems are related to the difference in their composition; inherent high paraffin contents and lack of dissolving ability, Fortunately, it was found that excellent specialty lubricants could be made by carefully selecting and formulating adequate additives and/or aromatic compounds. Moreover, these specialties with high quality VHVI base oils ofter various advantages over conventional base oil based products.

VHVI 수첨분해 기유는 자동차와 산업분야에서 시장을 형성하고 있다. VHVI 기유에 대한 응용분야로 큰 시장으로서 산업용 초 고점도지수 유압작동유로의 응용분야가 있긴 하지만 본고에서는 모터오일에 집중하여 설명하였다. 고점도지수 유압작동유는 현재 전통적인 파라핀계 기유에 점도지수 향상제로서 배합, 제조되고 있다. BP사와 Shell사는 윤활유 시장에 VHVI를 배합하여 제조된 이런 유형의 제품을 시판하고 있다. 이런 경우에 초 고점도지수 윤활기유의 사용으로 한가지 잇점을 찾을 수 있다. 생산 원가에 있어서의 제한된 상승에 기인하여 마찰안정도를 향상시키기 위한 점도지수 향상제의 사용에 있어서의 한계가 있다는 점이다. 과연 정말로 Union-Fuchs사는 이런 형태의 응용목적을 위한 분야의 대부분의 그들의 제품에 이러한 VHVI기유를 사용하고 있다. VHVI기유의 다른 분야로의 응용은 기술적으로 관심은 있으나 그 시장점유율이 매우 낮다. VHVI기유의 주된 생산자인 Shell사와 BP사는 최근 경쟁 윤활유 제조사에 이 VHVI기유를 제공, 공급하고 있다. 이것은 확립된 합성유 시장에 대한 도전이 될것으로 사료되며 도전이 되어야 한다.
