HYDRAULIC FLUID

HYDRAULIC FLUID is a complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained by treating a petroleum fraction with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst. It consists of hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly in the range of C20 through C50 and produces a finished oil of at least 100 SUS at 100.degree.F (19cSt at 40.degree.C). It contains a relatively large proportion of saturated hydrocarbons.

Non flammable

Confirmed carcinogen. Low toxicity by ingestion and skin contact. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
