Castrol Anvol SWX 46 Fire-Resistant Hydraulic Oil
Description
Castrol Anvol™ SWX 46 is a HFDU synthetic polyol ester type hydraulic fluid for use in applications that require a high degree of lubricity and fire resistance according to Factory Mutual Category 1. Anvol SWX 46 is outstanding in its category in providing a safe working environment and improved system reliability.Additional Information

| Additional Information | Unlike some HFDU products Anvol SWX 46 does not use polymeric materials in order to pass spray ignition type tests. These polymeric materials can rapidly shear in service and this leads to a loss of the claimed spray test performance and also to a significant reduction in viscosity. The selection of Anvol SWX 46 for use in a hazardous environment should be based on its high fire point and lower calorific output (based on Factory Mutual Group 1 classification). A risk assessment should always be carried out whenever there is a need to select any type of fire resistant hydraulic fluid, based on factors such as the potential sources of ignition, fire prevention measures in place and potential consequences of a fire., Unlike some HFDU products Anvol SWX 68 does not use polymeric materials in order to pass spray ignition type tests. These polymeric materials can rapidly shear in service and this leads to a loss of the claimed spray test performance and also to a significant reduction in viscosity. The selection of Anvol SWX 68 for use in a hazardous environment should be based on its high fire point and lower calorific output (based on Factory Mutual Group 1 classification). A risk assessment should always be carried out whenever there is a need to select any type of fire resistant hydraulic fluid, based on factors such as the potential sources of ignition, fire prevention measures in place and potential consequences of a fire. |

| Features and Benefits | High fire point provides superior fire resistance characteristics which creates a safer working environment and greater equipment protection., Anvol SWX 46 is shear stable and fire resistant properties are maintained during use., Advanced corrosion inhibition protects ferrous components from residual water and leads to extended equipment life and reduced downtime., Excellent resistance to oxidation and thermal degradation reduces sludges, varnish and prevents valve sticking. This ensures longer system life and longer drain periods., Good antiwear performance gives excellent wear protection and reduces downtime from unscheduled maintenance., Anvol SWX 68 is shear stable and fire resistant properties are maintained during use. |
