EcoSafe®EHCfluids represent a signi

ficant advancement in fire-

resistant hydraulic fluid technology. These fully synthetic, non-aqueous

formulations deliver

performance superior to premiumanti-wear mineral oils, and offer

significant performance and environmental

advantages over other fluid

options – including other synthetics.

EcoSafe®EHC fluids are especially formulated for electro-hydraulic

control (EHC) valve service and other applications within fossil fuel

power station operations, including high-pressure systems, systems

with servo valves, and all robotics.

EcoSafe®EHC fluids are based on a very high VI, polyether polyol base

stock combined with a patented non-metallic additive package. The

high dielectric properties of

EcoSafe®EHCfluids eliminate electro-

chemical erosion of EHC servo-valves. Unlike phosphate and polyol

ester-based fluids, they do not break down when exposed to water,

minimizing potential for fluid degradation and system damage. As a

result, fluid changeout intervals are extended under even the most

severe operating conditions.

EcoSafe®EHC

fluids are classified as FM Approved industrial fluids by Factory Mutual

and meet stringent

criteria for biodegradability and low toxicity

Excellent Lubricity

EcoSafe®EHC

fluids also offer excellent lubricity, for

outstanding pump life under the most severe conditions. The fluids meet or

exceed the pump performance of premium, anti-wear mineral oils, even at

5,500 psi (380 bar) operating pressure. Shear stability is excellent. Both

viscosity grades earned a 12-stage rating in the FZG Gear Test, demonstrating

high level protection against wear and scuffing.

Hydrolytic Stability

Unlike phosphate esters, polyol esters and vegetable oils,

EcoSafe®EHC

fluids will not break down and react with water, minimizing

fluid degradation and acid formation that can damage and eventually

destroy hydraulic pumps. No acid removal/ion exchange filters are required.

Non-Sludge or Varnish Forming

The fluids are oxidatively stable and

will not degrade to form varnish or sludge, contributing to long-term system

cleanliness while extending maintenance intervals and overall service life.

High Temperature Stability

EcoSafe®EHC

fluids are very stable at high

temperatures and resistant to thermal degradation up to 120°C (250°F).

All-Weather Service

The high viscosity indices of

EcoSafe®EHC fluids

enable them to handle wide temperature extremes. The fluids also have low

pour points necessary for cold weather start up.

Material Compatibility

EcoSafe®EHC fluids are completely compatible

with commonly used seals, hoses and metals. Detailed compatibility data is

available upon request. Easy Conversion

EcoSafe®EHCfluids are fully miscible with phosphate

ester fluids and phosphate ester/petroleum oil blends, simplifying fluid

conversions.Detergency

EcoSafe®EHCfluids are natural detergents, so systems

remain clean – free of staining or sticky residue.

Fire Resistance

EcoSafe®EHC fluids are classified as FM Approved

industrial fluids by Factory Mutual.

Biodegradable/Low Toxicity

EcoSafe®EHCfluids are classified as

“readily biodegradable” and environmental impact is low if the products are spilled.

EcoSafe®EHC fluids also satisfy stringent criteria for toxicity
