· Like other water-based, fire-resistant hydraulic fluids, the fire resistance is primarily accomplished by the water in the formulation. When exposed to high temperatures, the water turns into steam, which reduces the oil’s combustibility. These emulsions also maintain water droplets at a small enough size so that filtration is still an option.
