Glytex HFC 46 also has several applications in marine hydraulic systems as well as welding robots 

• Formulated with high level water content, designed to offer flame resistance, safety and reliability 

• High level water content helps maintain effectiveness where evaporation is an issue or leakage occurs in high temperature operations 

• Offers unique anti-corrosion properties towards metals commonly used in circuits as well as iron, copper, aluminium and many alloys 

• Helps protect against lacquer and muddy deposit formation, promoting trouble-free distributor, filter and servo valve operation 

• Promotes reliable filterability and deaeration in highly sophisticated equipment with fine filtration down to three micrometers 
  

• Glytex HFC 46 is approved according to 7th Luxembourg Report: Requirements and tests of fire resistant hydraulic fluids for hydraulic load transmission and control in mining 
  

• VDMA 24317 

• ISO 12922
