Description
ENKLO FRDU 46 is a fire-resistant hydraulic fluid based on organic ester technology. This hydraulic oil 46 meets the HF-DU classification system as per European Mine Safety Commission standards. It can replace phosphate ester fluids in high-temperature applications and is recommended for use as a control and governor fluid for steam and gas turbines.
It does not create seal compatibility issues commonly associated with phosphate ester fluids. The same seals used with mineral hydraulic oils can be safely used with ENKLO FRDU 46, making it suitable for existing hydraulic systems.
These fluids not only provide improved safety as compared to mineral oil but offer superior lubricity and antiwear properties as compared to invert emulsion (FRIE) fluids and also mineral oil based hydraulic fluids. While changing over from invert emulsion to FRDU based fluids care must be taken that there is no residual fluid or moisture present in the system. If necessary the line may be flushed with mineral oil to ensure that no traces of invert emulsion fluid remains in the system.
