The flame resistance of a hydraulic fluid is tested with the fluid in its most flammable form, a high-pressure spray. Tests on the fluid ask what happens if it hits a hot compartment, a hot manifold, a fire source? It's better that the pilot doesn't have to find these things out while he's trying to fly a plane. Fortunately, Skydrol has been developing fire-resistant technology, passing these tests for decades. Its manufacturer, Solutia, currently makes five hydraulic fluid products. Of them, Skydrol 500B-4 has the longest history and thus has endured rigorous experiments to prove its efficacy. Over the years refinements were made and today it has become the standard when it comes to phosphate ester products. According to Solutia, Skydrol 500B-4 is ideal for ground equipment that doesn't have lift and weight considerations. In addition to utility is safety; this fluid's ingredients are more worker-friendly than other related items, especially if the spray gets airborne in the cabin. Want hydraulic fluid that has stood the test time (and more)? You've landed on the right page. (Purchase of 1 Case)
