RENOSAFE FIREPROTECT 46 NA
FM Approvals (Factory Mutual) Approved Fire Resistant Hydraulic Fluid MSHA Permissible Fire Resistant Hydraulic Fluid
Description
RENOSAFE FIREPROTECT products are fire resistant hydraulic fluids based on special synthetic esters. The selected organic ester base oils have highest purity and show high oxidation and thermal stability. The properties of the fluids are improved by the addition of special selected zinc and ash-free additive systems. These zinc and ash-free additive systems are based on new additive technology which guarantees excellent copper compatibility, yellow metal compatibility, excellent hydrolytic stability and highest oxidation stability. They contain very effective robust and stable wear protection additives together with extreme pressure components. The RENOSAFE FIREPROTECT products are non-toxic and physiologically harmless. The products of the RENOSAFE FIREPROTECT series show in comparison to mineral based hydraulic fluids higher flammability temperature and higher selfignition temperature. Special flammability tests according to ISO 12922 demonstrate that RENOSAFE FIREPROTECT products reduce the risk of violent explosion or flammability when the fluids come in contact with open flames or hot metal surfaces (in comparison with mineral based products). These special flammability tests are in accordance to the ISO specification 12922, group HFDU - fire resistant fluids. The flammability risk is tested when the fluid or the pressurized fluid comes in contact with open flames and hot surfaces. The test results show a significant reduction of flammability risk by using RENOSAFE FIREPROTECT products
The RENOSAFE FIREPROTECT products have a natural high shear stable viscosity index (multigrade characteristic). This high viscosity index is based on the physical property of the base fluid. The fluids do not contain viscosity index improver. They do not contain shear instable material. Therefore, the fluids have a high natural shear stability. Special additive systems which are selected according to the properties of the base fluids (organic esters) guarantee high oxidation and ageing stability. The RENOSAFE FIREPROTECT products have excellent corrosion protection properties. They protect steel and non-iron metals from corrosion. The copper corrosion protection is guaranteed by the selection of a special copper/yellow metal passivator which gives protection over a wide application window. The antiwear (AW) and the extreme pressure (EP) additives protect the hydraulic pumps and components against wear and against scuffing. The combination of selected additives in the fluid shows excellent low foaming and excellent air release properties. Entrained water can be separated easily. The products of the RENOSAFE FIREPROTECT series are non-toxic, rapidly biodegradable (> 60% according to OECD 301 B) and can be seen as physiologically harmless, free of heavy metals. The RENOSAFE FIREPROTECT series surpass all requirements according to ISO 12922 - dated 2011, group HFDU.
Application
The RENOSAFE FIREPROTECT products can be recommended as fire resistant hydraulic fluids - based on organic esters - type HFDU - for all hydraulic units, machines or plants operating in hazard conditions where open flames or high temperatures are present and a risk of fire caused by a fluid leakage is high. RENOSAFE FIREPROTECT products reduce the flammability risk in comparison to mineral oil. The RENOSAFE FIREPROTECT products have in comparison to mineral oil a higher flammability characteristic and higher ignition temperature, which reduce the risk of fire by leakage of the pressure fluids.
Typical application: steel mill, blast furnaces, continuous casting machines, coke plants, mining application, mobile and stationary hydraulic units, injection moulding machines. The products of the RENOSAFE FIREPROTECT series guarantee a rapid biodegradability and reduce the environmental risk potential. The products are in general miscible and compatible with conventional hydraulic fluids based on mineral oils. In general the compatibility of mineral based fluids and HFDU types can be examined according to the special FUCHS in-house compatibility procedure. A change to RENOSAFE FIREPROTECT fluids is possible at any time. Please contact FUCHS for technical assistance.
The compatibility with seal materials, e.g., NBR, Viton, silicon seals is good whereas the use of neoprene, ethylene or propylene seals is not recommended. Before filling the hydraulic circuit with RENOSAFE FIREPROTECT products, it is important to understand miscibility with the prior fluid and seal compatibility. It is recommended to pre-check the behaviour of hydraulic fluids of the RENOSAFE FIREPROTECT series in a mix with mineral oils and other ester based fluids in a laboratory test. Contamination with water, steam should be avoided (please check the air filter of the circuit, bypass filter systems, water separators etc.). Recommended tank temperatures: 70 - 90 °C. The lower the temperature, the longer the lifetime of the fluid. It is recommended that the continuous temperature should be 70 °C or lower. Temperatures of 90 °C or higher are tolerable for a short period of time. Periodic analysis of the used product is recommended. The FUCHS technical team will advise the on the best suggestions according to the test results.
