TRANSCRIPT
Fire-Resistant Hydraulic Fluids for High Temperatures and Extreme ConditionsHoughton International is the world’s largest and fastest-
growing producer of fire-resistant (FR) hydraulic fluids.
Houghton began developing fire-resistant hydraulic
fluids in the early 1950s in response to industry’s
movement to provide a greater level of operating
safety in hydraulic systems. It quickly became evident
that conventional petroleum-based hydraulic oils were
potential hazards when leaks, line ruptures or other
mechanical failures exposed them to ignition sources.
Houghton’s fire-resistant hydraulic fluids reduce
the risk of combustion. Seven decades of use
worldwide have proven them to be safe, reliable,
economical and environmentally friendly.
Today, Houghton ships more than 20 million gallons
of FR hydraulic fluids a year and has an installed base
of 200 million gallons in a wide variety of industrial
hydraulic equipment.
Houghton backs its products with extensive
ongoing technology and lab support services.
We are the only manufacturer to offer every
type of water-based and anhydrous FR hydraulic fluid,
including water glycols, high water content fluids
(HWCF), polyol esters, phosphate esters and vegetable
oil-based products. And our products are approved by
Factory Mutual Insurance Company for fire resistance.
Houghton FR hydraulic fluids help:
• Reduce operating costs, increase plant efficiency,
and extend equipment life.
• Meet and/or exceed fire safety regulations
and improve employee and plant safety.
• Reduce insurance premiums.
• Significantly reduce long-term fluid costs.
These products are used in numerous applications
including automotive, food and beverage, foundry,
die casting, steel processing, non-ferrous production
and mining. Cosmolubric HF-130 and Cosmolubric
B-230 are approved by the Mine Safety and Health
Administration (MSHA).

Anhydrous Fire-Resistant Hydraulic Fluids (HFD)Houghton anhydrous fluids are based on high-
quality esters and formulated with antioxidants to be
thermally and chemically stable, ensuring excellent fluid
performance and long life without system change-out.
Cosmolubric® HF Series Polyol Esters (HFDU)
Cosmolubric® HF Series fluids are synthetic polyol ester
hydraulic fluids that are chemically and thermally stable.
They are designed for long service life and dependable
performance in areas where a less flammable hydraulic
fluid is required. The additive package in these fluids
provides the best possible mechanical performance,
providing corrosion protection, metal passivation,
hydrolytic stability and oxidation inhibition. These
products are available in two viscosity grades:
ISOVG46andISOVG68.
Cosmolubric® B Series Vegetable Oil-Based Fluids
Cosmolubric® B Series fluids are the latest development
in our line of fire-resistant hydraulic fluids. Derived
from vegetable oils, these fluids are fire resistant and
formulated to enhance corrosion protection, metal
passivation and oxidation inhibition, even when abused
in service. They are primarily composed of renewable
source materials and are therefore USDA-certified as
bio-based products. These products have virtually zero
toxicity to the environment and aquatic life, making them
ideal for outdoor mobile hydraulic equipment and other
environmentally sensitive equipment. Cosmolubric B Series
products have passed Vickers 35VQ mobile equipment
pump test and FZG load stage 12 test, making our B Series
well suited for rolling mill automatic gauge control
systems, coilers and continuous casting equipment.
Houghto-Safe® 1000 Series Phosphate Esters (HFDR)
Houghto-Safe® 1000 Series fluids are phosphate
ester fluids that display excellent lubricating properties
and operate at high pressures and at temperatures up to
150 °F. They are Factory Mutual-approved for operation
in all types of pumps and hydraulic components.
Water-Based Fire-Resistant Hydraulic FluidsWater-based fluids are the most cost-effective
option for hydraulic equipment. Metal producers
and food processors choose Houghton water glycols
because they are extremely stable and can be used
at lower ambient temperatures.
Houghto-Safe® Water Glycol Fluids (HFC)
Steel producers, automobile manufacturers
and food processors around the world choose
Factory Mutual-approved Houghto-Safe® water
glycols because they provide the optimum
combination of fire resistance, performance
and economy.
Houghton has developed a variety of water
glycol fluids for specific industry needs, including
fluidsthatmeetMilitarySpecificationMIL-H-22072
and fluids approved for incidental food contact.
These products can be used in applications well
below freezing.
Hydrolubric® High Water Content Fluids (HFA)
Hydrolubric® 120 Series products are synthetic water
additives designed to meet the needs of central
water systems using reciprocating plunger, multi-
stage centrifugal or multi-stage gear pumps.
The polarity of the synthetic components in these
products provides a film on metal surfaces that
effectively reduces friction coefficients, enhancing
lubricity and protecting against aqueous corrosion.
Shipped as concentrates, they are:
• Typically used at 2% – 5% concentration.
• Readily dispersible in water.
• Biodegradable, offering advantages in
handling and disposal when compared
to conventional soluble oils.
These products are frequently used in steel mills,
foundries and automotive tire production. When
subjected to winter ambient temperatures, anti-
freeze protection can be applied.
