Fire-Resistant Hydraulic Fluids

Abstract

In an attempt to select an appropriate fire-resistant hydraulic fluid for use in Naval applications two approaches were used (1) development of a shear-resistant drag reducing colloid dispersion presumed to be anti-misting and (2) use of water-in-oil emulsion loaded to high levels of water. While the dispersion of lithium phenylstearate colloid had demonstrated high drag reducing activity in previous work, it failed to produce the desired anti-misting effect characteristic of drag reducing agents at concentrations of 0.25, 0.50 and 1%. The water-in-oil emulsion, on the other hand, showed promising fire-resistant properties in a flammability testing device.
