PDS

CITGO Glycol FR-5046HP is a high-pressure, polymer-thickened water-glycol fluid which provides superior fire resistanceat pressures in excess of 5,000 psi. Pump test results (Tables 1, 2, and 3) show low pump wear rates which are equivalent to or significantly better than phosphate esters and polyol esters. This product provides long pump life at high pressures and excellent fire safety at lower cost than synthetic fluids.

Features

• Fire Protection: Contains sufficient water to snuff out ignition that can occur in hydraulic systems operating under high pressure when a line suddenly ruptures or fluid contacts an ignition source. Factory Mutual research tests show that thickened glycol-water fluid provides superior fire resistance compared to synthetics such as phosphate ester and polyol ester fluids.
• Pump Performance: Imparts the necessary lubricity, corrosion protection, and overall performance demanded of a high-pressure, anti-wear hydraulic fluid.
• Higher Operating Temperature: Viscosity will not drop below pump minimum requirements, even at temperatures greater than 180°F, providing greater protection where piping, cylinders, and other components are exposed to high temperatures. Bulk reservoir temperatures should be maintained as low as possible to reduce water evaporation -- preferably 135°F or less. It is important that water content be monitored and sufficient water added to maintain water content, bulk density, viscosity, and fire protection within the required range.
• Shear Stability: Exhibits essentially no viscosity loss (temporary or permanent) over a wide range of shear rates (Figure 1).
• Additional features include high viscosity index, low pour point, excellent heat transfer, anti-foam properties, and outstanding rust and corrosion protection.
