HYDRAULIC FLUIDS, POLYGLYCOL-WATER EMULSIONS HFC Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Polyglycol-water emulsions (HFC) are a type of hydraulic fluid where polyglycol is mixed with water to form a stable emulsion. These fluids offer fire-resistant properties and are used in industries where fire safety is paramount, such as in steel production and die casting. HFC fluids provide good lubrication and cooling effects due to their water content. They are environmentally friendly and biodegradable, reducing the risk of environmental pollution. However, they can be more expensive than traditional hydraulic fluids and may require special maintenance to prevent microbial growth and corrosion. Ensuring proper mixing and filtration is crucial for optimal performance.
