PDS

Shell Water Glycol S2 C 32 is a fire-resistant hydraulic fluid and is recognized by FM Global as a less flammable industrial fluid. Shell Water Glycol S2 C 32 was developed and designed specifically to operate at system pressures of 2000-4000 psi depending on pump type (vane or piston). The formulation contains more than a sufficient amount of water to prevent the propagation of fire in the event of a hydraulic line rupture near an ignition source.

Features

• Fire Resistant - A fire-resistant fluid may be used to avoid the risk of fluid ignition in the event of a leak. Fire-resistant fluids are specially formulated lubricants and greases that are more difficult to ignite and do not propagate a flame from an ignition source. Because of its water content, this product has the ability to prevent flame propagation when fire occurs. Recognized by FM Global as a less flammable industrial fluid Shell Water Glycol S2 C 32 reduces fire hazards related to personal safety in storage, handling, and use which could help lower insurance premiums.
• Heat Transfer Properties - Water based fluids such as Shell Water Glycol S2 C 32 are excellent heat transfer media. Water glycol fluids in general have marked advantages over typical mineral oil based formulations in this respect. One of the most effective protection against fire and explosion is to prevent leakage with proactive servicing, and maintenance and care of the system.
• Low Pump Wear - A high level of anti-wear protection is built into Shell Water Glycol S2 C 32. Shell Water Glycol S2 C 32 is designed to be resistant to mechanical shear resulting in stable viscosity, helping to protect components against wear.
• Corrosion Protection - Shell Water Glycol S2 C 32 will afford corrosion protection to a wide variety of metals including aluminum, copper, brass, cast iron, steel and other metals commonly used in hydraulic circuitry.
• Seal, O-Ring and Hose Compatibility - Shell Water Glycol S2 C 32 can be operated in systems that contain a wide variety of seal, gasket and hose materials. Elastomers such as natural rubber, Buna-N, Buna-S and Neoprene are compatible with the fluid. Other materials such as Viton and Teflon are also compatible. The only seal and gasket configurations that are not acceptable are leather, cork, cellulose or other substances that will absorb water and either swell or deteriorate as a result.
