Fire-Resistant Hydraulic Fluid (Water-Glycol, PAG)

Quick answer

PAG / Water-Glycol Fire-Resistant Fluid (HFC / HFD Classification · Fire Resistant · ISO VG 46/68). Polyalkylene glycol (PAG) or water-glycol formulation classified HFC/HFD for fire-resistant hydraulic applications. Mandatory in die-casting, foundry, and mining face hydraulics per safety regulations. Inherently biodegradable grades available. Requires stainless steel or zinc-free circuit materials.

Where a hydraulic leak could reach molten metal, a flame or a hot surface, fire-resistant fluids reduce the risk that a leak turns into a fire.

Where it is used
