FIRE-RESISTANT HYDRAULIC FLUIDS FOR FORGING

Houghton International Inc. fulfills the need for fire-resistant hydraulic fluids with its Cosmolubric® B-230 and Cosmolubric® HF-130 fire-resistant hydraulic fluids. Cosmolubric B-230 is the latest development in Houghton's complete line of fire-resistant hydraulic fluids for forging.

It is a high viscosity, vegetable oil-derived fluid formulated with additives to enhance corrosion protection, metal passivation and oxidative inhibition. It is preferred over mineral oil-based fluids for forging because it resists ignition and is less flammable in the event of a hydraulic line rupture. Additionally, Cosmolubric B-230 is readily biodegradable.

Cosmolubric HF-130 is a high-quality synthetic polyester hydraulic fluid. Chemically and thermally stable, it has been designed for long life and dependable performance in forging applications requiring a fire-resistant hydraulic fluid. Cosmolubric HF-130 exhibits a good viscosity index and contains an additive package that provides hydrolytic stability, as well as corrosion protection and oxidative inhibition. Cosmolubric B-230 and Cosmolubric HF-130 are approved by Factory Mutual as less hazardous fluids. They are both available in 55-gallon drums and in bulk.
