Vertex Hytec FR HFC is a high-performance synthetic water-polymer, fire-resistant hydraulic fluid. It is suitable for all moving parts and circuits requiring hydraulic fluid and is recommended for hydraulic equipment operating in fire-risk environments. Hytec FR HFC is specifically designed for use in hydraulic systems with vane, gear, and piston pumps, as well as hydraulic and oil circulation systems in fire-hazard conditions. The fluid operates most effectively within a temperature range of -20°C to +70°C. When transitioning from a mineral oil-based hydraulic system, it is important to thoroughly clean the system components. The use of Vertex Hytec FR HFC reduces the serious risks associated with hose ruptures or leaks that may cause oil mist near open flames or in areas with potential flame or heat sources.

Features and Benefits:

• High flash point and high ignition temperature.
