CONT

Synthetic fire resistant fluids (ISO HFD) are laboratory synthesized chemicals, which are less flammable than petroleum oils. Typical of these are: Phosphate esters[;] Polyol esters[;] Halogenated (fluorinated and/or chlorinated) hydrocarbons[;] Mixtures of phosphate esters or polyol esters and petroleum oil. Since the synthetics do not contain any water or other volatile material, they operate well at higher temperatures than water containing fluids. They also are suitable for higher-pressure systems than the water containing fluids. Synthetic fire resistant fluids do not operate best in low temperature systems. Auxiliary heating may be required in cold environments.

PHR

Fire resistant phosphate ester hydraulic fluid, fire resistant silicone-base hydraulic fluid.
