Regulations and sustainability targets are driving a rapid shift toward zinc‑free hydraulic fluids. Zinc‑based anti‑wear additives like ZDDP can corrode certain metals and are non‑biodegradable; high zinc levels have been associated with aquatic toxicity.

In contrast, zinc‑free packages allow formulators to meet environmental goals without sacrificing performance. Demand for zinc‑free hydraulic fluids is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of roughly 4.25 % in North America and Europe from 2024‑2029.

Lubrizol® AH933ZF enables lubricant manufacturers and equipment OEMs to capitalize on this trend by delivering robust performance while reducing environmental impact.
