The Differences Between Flame Retardant Hydraulic Oil and Standard Hydraulic Oil

Anti-flame hydraulic oil is a base oil derived from organic esters, featuring automatic flame extinction capabilities and strong biodegradability. It not only boasts excellent antioxidant, anti-wear, anti-corrosion, and anti-foaming properties but also significantly reduces the risk of fire and explosion when the oil comes into contact with flames or hot surfaces.

Regular hydraulic oil is the hydraulic medium used in hydraulic systems that utilize liquid pressure, serving functions such as energy transmission, anti-wear, system lubrication, corrosion and rust prevention, and cooling. For hydraulic oils, the primary requirement is to meet the viscosity demands of hydraulic devices at both operating and startup temperatures. Since the viscosity of lubricating oils directly correlates with hydraulic action, transmission efficiency, and accuracy, it is also necessary for the oil to exhibit suitable viscosity-temperature properties and shear stability to meet the varying demands of different applications.

Any hydraulic oil is composed of two main parts: base oil and additives. The performance of hydraulic oil primarily depends on the properties of both the base oil and the additives, with the base oil playing a leading role, as is the case with fire-resistant hydraulic oil. Since the base components and additives used in various hydraulic oils differ, their performance must also vary. Therefore, the fundamental difference between ordinary hydraulic oil and fire-resistant hydraulic oil lies in the different compositions of their base oils and additives. The term "fire-resistant hydraulic oil" refers to the fire-resistant property, which is one of the key characteristics and performance indicators of this type of oil.
