XL-5000
LOW PRESSURE
FIRE-RESISTANT WATER GLYCOL HYDRAULIC FLUID
XL-5000 provides a safer working environment for those applications where hydraulic piping might
rupture and spray fluid onto hot surfaces and ignite with resultant hazard to
plant personnel and equipment.
XL-5000 is a Group 1 Factory Mutual approved fluid and is approved by the Canadian Centre
for Mineral and Energy Technology (CANMET) for use in underground mining
applications.
