XL-5146
FIRE-RESISTANT WATER-GLYCOL HYDRAULIC FLUID
XL-5146 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-5146 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.
FEATURES
• Lubricating agents provide good anti-wear characteristics.
• Corrosion inhibited to protect ferrous and non-ferrous components; both liquid
and vapor phases.
• More environmentally manageable than other fire resistant fluids.
• Low pour point
BENEFITS
• Protects pumps and system components from premature wear and failure.
• Extends equipment life, reduces downtime and maintenance costs.
• More acceptable in today’s environmentally conscious society.
• Ease of start up over a broad operating range.
