FR Fluid-Glycol

FR Fluid-Glycol was developed for use in hydraulic systems operating at 2,000 to 3,000 psi in areas subject to fire hazards. It can withstand intermittent pressure spikes up to 5,000 psi. It contains sufficient water to snuff out a fire resulting from ignition of a fluid leak. FR Fluid-Glycol is formulated with 60% diethylene glycol and 40% water. It is fortified with additives that provide lubricity, wear protection and corrosion protection for extended life of hydraulic system components. It contains less than 60 parts per billion (ppb) phenols, and does not contain any nitrites or nitrosamines.

FR Fluid-Glycol has good antiwear properties to ensure long life for hydraulic pumps and motors. Special rust and corrosion inhibitors provide corrosion protection in both the liquid and the vapor phase. This product is compatible with other water-glycol type fire-resistant fluids.

FR Fluid-Glycol is compatible with most hydraulic pump types, including vane, piston and gear pumps. It is safe to use with most packing and seal materials except polyurethane and silicone. Cork shaft seals should be replaced with Buna N or other synthetic rubber. Leather packing should be avoided and zinc or cadmium-plated components should not be used.

Applications:

•Hydraulic systems operating in areas subject to fire hazards, such as:
•Steel and aluminum mills
•Molding and metal die casting machinery
•Welding machines
•Foundries
•Furnace charging equipment
•Open hearth and basic oxygen furnace (B.O.F.) equipment
•Power transmission plants

Underground mines
Caution: FR Fluid-Glycol should not be used in systems where operating temperatures exceed 175°F (79°C). This product contains water and should not be stored at temperatures over 130°F (54°C). In addition, this product is not recommended for use as a conventional antifreeze coolant for automotive or industrial applications
