HFDU FR 68 by Kelpen Oil is a fire-resistant hydraulic fluid classified as HFDU — anhydrous synthetic-based fluids with no water content. It was designed for hydraulic systems operating near heat sources, flames or hot surfaces, where a conventional mineral oil would pose a fire risk in the event of a leak or mist.

It combines the functional properties of a hydraulic fluid — power transmission, anti-wear protection and lubrication of pumps and valves — with the fire resistance required in critical environments such as steelmaking, foundries and presses. Technical data sheet under confirmation: specifications, classifications and usage recommendations will be detailed after validation by the manufacturer.

Applications

• Hydraulic systems near heat sources or flames
• Steelmaking, foundries and rolling mills
• Presses and equipment with ignition risk
• Operations requiring a low-flammability fluid

Advantages

• HFDU-type fire resistance for critical environments.
• Greater safety in systems exposed to heat and flames.
• Hydraulic performance with pump and valve protection.
• Alternative to mineral oil where there is fire risk.
