Best-in-class water glycol fire resistant hydraulic fluids
HFC or water glycol fluids are the most widely used fire-resistant hydraulic fluids due to their strong price-to-performance ratio and their combination of fire resistance with good lubrication properties.
The water glycol fire-resistant hydraulic fluids supplied by Palmlub are endorsed by original hydraulic component and equipment manufacturers. The globally consistent and reliable performance of our HFC fire-resistant hydraulic fluids ensures both safety and operational confidence worldwide.
Our HFC products meet the requirements of various fire-resistant industry standards, and many are approved by FM Global (Factory Mutual).
Key Benefits
