Water-Glycol Fire-Resistant Hydraulic Fluids

UCON™ hydrolubes meet the demand for relatively low-cost, fire-resistant hydraulic fluids. They are balanced formulations of a glycol-water base thickened with a water-soluble UCON lubricant. They contain additives to improve lubrication properties and provide resistance to both liquid- and vapor-phase corrosion. UCON hydrolubes are tested to the Standard 6930 Flammability Classification of Industrial Fluids and carry the distinction as an “FM Approved” product. Dow sells both concentrates and finished hydrolubes
