Castrol Hyspin AWH 15 – VG 15 Anti-Wear Hydraulic Oil – 205 L Drum

Product Overview

Castrol Hyspin AWH 15 is a high-performance, anti-wear hydraulic fluid designed for precision and mobile hydraulic systems where a low viscosity grade is required. With a viscosity grade of VG 15 (ISO 15), this oil offers superb fluidity, rapid response and stable operation across a wide temperature range. Its advanced anti-wear additive system and high viscosity index base oils make it ideal for equipment requiring consistent performance, minimal friction and extended component life.

The 205-litre drum format is suited to larger maintenance operations and industrial facilities that require bulk supply, offering efficiency and long-term reliability. Whether applied in manufacturing automation, servo-hydraulics, outdoor machinery in cold climates or specialised equipment, Hyspin AWH 15 delivers a premium solution for systems demanding VG 15 anti-wear hydraulic oil.

Key Features & Benefits

• Low Viscosity Grade (VG 15) ensures quick actuation, excellent responsiveness and minimal resistance, particularly beneficial in cold start conditions or fast-cycle hydraulic systems.

• Anti-Wear Additive System protects pumps, valves, cylinders and actuators from friction-induced damage, helping extend component life and reduce downtime.

• High Viscosity Index maintains film strength and lubrication integrity through wide temperature fluctuations, ensuring consistent performance in precision and mobile systems.

• Excellent Thermal & Oxidation Stability resists breakdown, sludge formation and deposit build-up, supporting cleaner hydraulic circuits and longer oil service life.

• Rust and Corrosion Protection shields internal hydraulic components from moisture, condensation and water ingress, vital for equipment working in wet or outdoor conditions.

• Rapid Demulsibility and Water Separation supports operation in environments prone to moisture contamination, protecting the system from emulsion-related damage.

• Low Foam Tendency and Fast Air Release provide smooth hydraulic response without pump cavitation or aeration-related disturbance, improving machine reliability.

• Seal & Material Compatibility supports use with common elastomers and hydraulic system seals, reducing risk of leakage or system failure when switching oils.

• Bulk Drum Supply in a 205-litre size reduces purchasing frequency, supports large-scale operations and simplifies maintenance logistics.

Handling & Storage Advice

• Store the 205 litre drum in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, high heat or freezing conditions.

• Keep containers sealed when not in use to prevent contamination by dust, moisture or other fluids.

• Use clean, dedicated dispensing equipment to avoid cross-contamination with incompatible oils.

• Avoid mixing with oils of unknown performance or additive chemistry without verification.

• Ensure proper labelling and segregation of used and unused fluids in storage.

• Dispose of used oil, filters and packaging in accordance with local environmental regulations and authorised disposal services.

• Wear appropriate protective gloves and eye protection when handling oil; refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed safety instructions.

• Under correct storage conditions, typical shelf life is up to 5 years in sealed containers.
