UK - At a 100% recycling rate, over its lifetime this fluid produced a reduction of at least 70% in greenhouse gas emissions compared to virgin transformer oil.

Nynas has announced the launch of NYTRO® RR 900X, a circular transformer fluid based on the most powerful and effective re-refining technology. With this launch, the company offers utilities and OEMs the opportunity to join the circular economy and contribute to greenhouse gas reduction targets.

According to Nynas, the excellent performance of the fluid makes the product suitable for use in a wide range of electrical applications, including high voltage and high-power transformers. The new grade complies with the IEC 60296 standard, which requires the feedstock of re-refined fluids to be sourced 100% from power equipment.

At a 100% recycling rate, over its lifetime this fluid produced a reduction of at least 70% in greenhouse gas emissions compared to virgin transformer oil.

"Replacing one unit of virgin transformer oil with this fluid also means savings in crude consumption, crude being a finite resource. We are very proud of our contribution to the reduced environmental footprint of transformer oil production," says Marika Rangstedt, Sustainability Manager at Nynas.

According to the company, the fluid will only be available in Europe, to limit the impact of emissions from transportation.
