FR WG 200-XP

Water Glycol, Fire Resistant Hydraulic Fluid

Manufactured with UCON ADVANTA ™ Hydrolube Concentrate

from The Dow Chemical Company

DESCRIPTION:

UCON ADVANTA™ Hydrolube Concentrate

is a new,

patent-pending water-glycol hydraulic fluid (WGHF)

technology used in fluid formulations that provide

improved fire resistance

while protecting equipment

under severe service conditions.

Designed particularly for hydraulic systems utilizing

vane, gear, and piston hydraulic pumps used in steel,

aluminum, and die-casting industries,

UCON

ADVANTA™ Hydrolube

is based on optimized Dow

polymer chemistry and a new high performance additive

package.

UCON ADVANTA™

represents Dow’s latest

WGHF innovation and is based on our more than 60 years

of experience with polyalkylene glycol WGHF chemistry.

UCON ADVANTA™ Hydrolube Concentrate

enables

production of formulations with outstanding shear

stability compared to traditional WGHF’s, reducing fluid

maintenance, extending pump life, and reducing

reconditioning requirements. An innovative friction

modifier provides excellent pump lubrication and can

extend equipment service life while reducing maintenance

costs. The fluids also provide superior vapor phase and

solution corrosion protection compared to traditional

WGHF’s based on morpholine.

UCON ADVANTA™ Hydrolube Concentrate

is used

by formulators as the basis for high performance water

glycol hydraulic fluids suitable for use under higher

temperature service conditions such as those found in

steel and aluminum mills and die casting operations.

Compared to traditional WGHF’s the favorable

environmental profile of fluids formulated from

UCON

ADVANTA™ Hydrolube Concentrate

also makes them

an excellent choice in the formulation of fluids for other

applications.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

Low Pump Wear –

FR WG 200-XP

contains an

innovative friction modifier that provides excellent pump

lubrication, which can extend

equipment service life and

reduce maintenance costs. This lubrication performance

is demonstrated by results of Vickers vane testing shown

in Table 2 and proven in extensive field trials.

Madison Kipp Experiences 20 percent increase in pump

life in severe die casting service

After six months of continuous use under severe operating

conditions in a Buhler SE die casting machine at

Madison-Kipp Corporation,

FR WG 200-XP

has

increased pump life by 20 percent compared to pump

service with a previous WGHF. Minimal wear has been

detected during scheduled pump inspection. Fluid life has

also been extended compared

to the previous WGHF;

after six months of service, the fluid is still well within

specification. The hydraulic

system at Madison-Kipp’s

Sun Prairie, Wisconsin facility utilizes three Hartmann

PVX series piston pumps in tandem and operates at a

maximum pressure of 3100 psi and at 113°F(45°C).

Based on the success of this trial, Madison-Kipp and Dow

are working with pump manufacturer, Hartmann Controls,

Inc., to further improve pump performance. Madison-

Kipp was founded in 1898 and is a leading metal

fabricator that also operat

es and aluminum foundry and

provides die casting and mach

inery operations. Hartmann

Controls, Inc. specializes in the production of piston

pumps tailored for applications using low lubricity and

other non-petroleum-based hydraulic fluids.
