Fire Resistant Hydraulic Fluids

Hydraulic oils are commonly made of combustible mineral oils. In areas with a high risk of fire or explosion, mineral or hydraulic oils represent a significant safety hazard. Consequently, PETROFER has a full range of fire-resistant hydraulic fluids and fire-retardant hydraulic fluids of various viscosities. These products have been continually improved over the past 50 years, resulting in PETROFER being a market leader in this technology. Accordingly, our modern fire-resistant fluids and fire retardant hydraulic fluids do not only fulfill the primary task of pressure transmission; furthermore, they have the highest standard of fire prevention, anti-wear properties, corrosion inhibition and long term resistance against microbial attack. We also hold many OEM approvals for the product range.


PETROFER's high quality fire resistant hydraulic fluids have demands for so many technologies in their formulation, because they have such a diverse market range, such as in the diecasting industry, in foundries, the automobile industry, the military, shipping industry, the marine, offshore drilling industry, press shops, earthquake monitoring etc.

PRODUCT RANGE


PETROFER has a full range of fire-resistant hydraulic fluids and fire-retardant hydraulic fluids of various viscosities.

The water content of HFA hydraulic fluid is at least 95%, which has good fire resistance. May be sensitive to frost. Products must be used in accordance with prescribed concentrations and water quality must be carefully monitored.

Product Model Fundamental Type Representative Product
HFA Fire resistant concentrate for water-based hydraulics. Synthetic ester based HFA-E products in the ULTRA-SAFE 10 series. Fully synthetic HFA-S chemicals in the ULTRA-PRESS portfolio.
HFC hydraulic fluid has good wear resistance and extreme pressure property, and the water content is higher than 35%.

Product Model Fundamental Type Representative Product
HFC Water glycol fire resistance hydraulic fluid. The ULTRA-SAFE 100 series also offer other grades products.
HFC-E series of water glycol fire resistance liquid has better wear resistance and extreme pressure property because the low water content is about 20% and contains special additives.
Flame retardant technology of HFD hydraulic fluid is a grade of HFD and has similar characteristics to traditional hydraulic fluids, but with higher flash points and spontaneous combustion temperatures.

Product Model Fundamental Type Representative Product
HFD Anhydrous synthetic hydraulic fluid. Phosphate ester HFD-R hydraulic fluids are included in the ULTRA-SAFE 11 series.
Synthetic ester or polyethylene glycol HFD-U hydraulic fluid is our ENVOLUBRIC series, with a variety of viscosity.
