Hydraulic Fluid Lubricant

Overview
Polypropylene Glycol-based hydraulic fluids feature lubricity and performance as industrial hydraulic fluids for equipment that must operate over a wide temperature range. Their excellent low-temperature properties make them readily adaptable for year-round outdoor use. They are resistant to oxidation and thermal degradation and to the formation of sludge and varnish. Polyglycol-based hydraulic fluids have high viscosity indexes and their viscosities are unaffected by high rates of shear.

PPGs provide:

• excellent compatibility with other components throughout a wide range of temperatures
  
• favorable viscosity-temperature characteristics
  
• lack of gum and sludge formation
  
• low volatility
  
• lubricity
