Explore our high-performance industrial and automotive oil portfolio engineered to reduce system downtime and enhance machinery life spans.
An in-depth analysis of anti-wear hydraulic oil formulations, production advantages in China, and global application paradigms.
Founded in 2009 and headquartered in the highly industrialized city of Zibo, Shandong Province, Shandong Longhai Lubrication Technology Development Co., Ltd. has grown to become a benchmark high-tech enterprise within the global lubrication industry. For over 15 years, the company has structured an integrated industrial chain system that covers scientific research, formula development, extreme-testing diagnostics, precision blending, and global export distribution.
As a top-tier chemical supplier, Shandong Longhai operates its own proprietary brand, "Century Longhai", alongside the internationally recognized premium strategic brand, British "A Ba" series. To assure our clients of absolute reliability, our full product line is insured by the PICC China People's Insurance Company, backing our quality guarantees with solid financial trust.
China's rise as a dominant supplier of industrial hydraulic fluids is supported by strong material supply networks, cost efficiency, and advanced chemical blending plants. Shandong Longhai capitalizes on these factors to offer superior products at competitive rates:
Shandong Longhai focuses on innovation-driven growth. We dedicate over 5% of annual revenue to laboratory upgrades and collaborate with domestic universities and petrochemical research centers. Our research team focuses on developing eco-friendly ashless (zinc-free) anti-wear fluids, extreme temperature high-viscosity index lubricants, and synthetic hydraulic fluids designed for extreme pressures.
We maintain strict quality control through step-by-step inspections. Every batch of base oil is analyzed for pour point, flash point, copper strip corrosion, and elemental composition before blending. This attention to detail guarantees that our anti-wear hydraulic oil prevents component wear even in high-pressure vane, piston, and gear pump systems.
Our intelligent blending line utilizes automated batching systems where temperatures, flow rates, and shear times are continuously monitored by computers. This minimizes human error and guarantees batch-to-batch consistency. The system adjusts formulation variables dynamically, ensuring the exact dispersion of anti-wear additives (ZDDP), metal deactivators, anti-foaming agents, and demulsifiers into the base oil matrix.
This precision ensures our hydraulic oils perform reliably in field applications, resisting chemical breakdown and varnish formation over extended run times.
Our quality management systems meet global auditing standards, ensuring smooth import clearance and OEM performance approvals.
Quality is core to our operations. Shandong Longhai has achieved certifications including ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System, ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System, and ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management System. Furthermore, our premium transmission and specialized fluids carry direct OEM approvals, including Mercedes-Benz certifications, proving suitability for demanding machinery systems.
Our anti-wear hydraulic oil formulations are engineered to comply with major global performance standards:
Tailored formulations designed for high-stress operation across mining, maritime, metal smelting, and manufacturing sectors.
System Demands: Constant high cycle speeds, high thermal stress, and electro-hydraulic servo-valve precision.
Longhai's HLP/HM Solution: Formulated with thermal-stable additives, our oils resist oxidation and varnish build-up, preventing servo-valve sticking and keeping equipment running smoothly.
System Demands: Outdoor operation under extreme temperature variations, dirt ingress, and variable loads.
Longhai's HV/HVLP Solution: High viscosity index (VI > 130) oils ensure easy cold starts and steady film thickness at high working temperatures, protecting piston pumps from premature wear.
System Demands: Exposure to radiant heat, slag dust, and water ingress from roll-cooling systems.
Longhai's Specialized Fluid Solution: Enhanced demulsibility separates water quickly, maintaining lubrication integrity and preventing rust inside large hydraulic cylinders.
From initial design to logistics, we provide custom formulation services for international distributors and large-scale industrial buyers.
Shandong Longhai offers a flexible service model tailored to the needs of foreign lubricant brands, chemical traders, and heavy equipment manufacturers. We customize physical properties, chemical balances, packaging configurations, and certifications to match local regulations.

Analyzing key advancements in modern lubrication: eco-friendly formulation, high-pressure stability, and energy-saving properties.
Traditionally, Zinc Dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP) has been the primary anti-wear additive. However, modern environmental regulations and the need for compatibility with yellow metals (copper, bronze, and brass alloys used in high-performance pumps) are driving demand for ashless, zinc-free formulations. Zinc-free hydraulic oils reduce environmental impact and prevent filter blockage caused by zinc precipitate in systems with water contamination.
Modern machinery design trends lean toward smaller oil reservoirs and higher operating pressures (often exceeding 350 bar). Under these conditions, the oil experiences increased shear forces, higher thermal loads, and less time in the reservoir to release entrained air. Consequently, modern lubricants must offer high shear stability and quick air release properties to prevent fluid cavitation and pump damage.
Ultra-high viscosity index (VI) fluids help minimize mechanical friction and volumetric fluid losses in hydraulic pumps. Choosing the right fluid can improve hydraulic system efficiency by up to 3% to 5% compared to conventional mono-grade HLP fluids, supporting corporate decarbonization targets.
Expert answers addressing viscosity selection, water separation, additive chemistry, and purchase parameters.
The main difference lies in their Viscosity Index (VI). HM (HLP) hydraulic oils are standard anti-wear fluids designed for systems with relatively stable operating temperatures, typically used in indoor industrial settings. HV (HVLP) oils have a higher viscosity index (usually > 130), meaning they maintain a more stable viscosity across a wider range of temperatures. HV oils are ideal for outdoor machinery exposed to variable climates, preventing excessive thinning at high temperatures and thickening in cold conditions.
Group I base oils contain more sulfur and unsaturated hydrocarbons, making them prone to oxidation under thermal stress. Group II and Group III base oils, which Shandong Longhai utilizes, undergo hydrocracking or hydroisomerization. This process removes impurities, improving thermal and oxidation stability. As a result, Group II/III based oils degrade slower, resist varnish formation, and double the service life compared to Group I alternatives.
Marine environments expose hydraulic systems to water contamination. If the hydraulic fluid has poor hydrolytic stability, the anti-wear additives (such as ZDDP) can react with water and decompose. This chemical breakdown creates acidic byproducts that corrode copper and steel components, and forms sludge that blocks system filters. High hydrolytic stability ensures the additives remain stable even when water is present in the system.
Poor air release and high foaming can lead to air bubbles passing through the hydraulic pump. When these bubbles transition from low-pressure to high-pressure zones, they collapse rapidly. This collapse generates localized heat and micro-shocks, which can pit pump components. This phenomenon, known as cavitation, causes pump wear, system noise, and loss of volumetric efficiency. High-quality anti-foaming agents and clean base oils ensure rapid air release to prevent cavitation.
Yes. Our laboratory can adjust pour points using targeted pour point depressants (PPD) and ultra-high-VI synthetic bases (PAO). For arctic applications, we formulate low-pour-point oils that pour down to -40°C. For hot desert environments, we supply high-viscosity-index HVLP or synthetic fluids to prevent oil thinning and maintain film strength at continuous temperatures above 80°C.
MOQs depend on the packaging size. For bulk 200L steel drums or 1000L IBC tanks, the MOQ is typically one 20-foot shipping container (equivalent to roughly 80 drums or 16-18 IBCs). For smaller 1L, 4L, or 18L containers, MOQ requirements vary based on custom label printing runs. Please contact our international sales department for detailed configurations.
