HYDROTHERM 42 HFC - 205L

HYDROTHERM 42 HFC is a high-performance fire-resistant HFC hydraulic fluid, developed for hydraulic systems operating in hot and demanding environments where maximum fire safety, wear protection, and reliability are required.

The product is based on a newly developed water-glycol polymer solution and contains more than 40% water, providing excellent fire resistance. HYDROTHERM 42 HFC meets and exceeds the requirements of ISO 12922 Type HFC 46, DIN 51502, VDMA 24317, and the 7th Luxembourg Report, and is approved for use in mining applications.

Note: HYDROTHERM 42 HFC must not be mixed with mineral oil-based hydraulic fluids.

Features and Benefits:

• Fire-resistant hydraulic fluid (HFC): Significantly reduces fire risk
• Excellent wear protection: Outstanding Vickers vane pump performance (total wear < 50 mg)
• High viscosity index: Stable viscosity over a wide temperature range
• Excellent corrosion protection: Compatible with steel and common metals
• Low pour point: Suitable for low-temperature operation
• Good heat conductivity: Efficient cooling of hydraulic systems
• Outstanding air release behaviour: Rapid air separation (approx. 11 minutes)
• Good filtration behaviour: Clean and reliable system operation
• Zinc- and ash-free: Free from hazardous substances
• Good biodegradability: According to OECD 301F
• High resistance to bacteria and fungi

Temperature Range:

• Recommended operating temperature: –25 °C to +60 °C
• (To ensure optimal fire resistance and corrosion protection, evaporation losses should be avoided)

Applications:

• Mobile and stationary hydraulic systems
• Steel and aluminium industries
• Rolling mills and presses
• Injection moulding and die-casting machines
• Mining applications
• Hydraulic systems with increased fire risk

HYDROTHERM 42 HFC is an advanced hydraulic fluid designed to deliver maximum fire safety, excellent performance, and reliable operation in critical hydraulic applications.
