tailor-made straight synthetic fire-resistant hydraulic fluid After a successful test program, Monsanto introduced Pydraul F-9 in 1951 as industry's first tailor-made straight synthetic fire-resistant hydraulic fluid. Pydraul F-9 rapidly became the * standard against which all other synthetic hydraulic fluids were judged; today, Pydraul F-9 is still considered the basis for comparison. ^ Most of the 500,000,000 machine hours Pydraul fluids have served industry have been accumulated on Pydraul F-9. Pydraul F-9 is now in use in every major type of die casting machine plus a wide variety of other types of equipment found in the metalworking industry. Pydraul F-9 is the most performance-proven fire-resistant fluid now in use in industrial applications. . | 0090492 TOWOLDMON0022129 WATER_PCB-00006598 PYDRAUL F-9 HAS DOUBLE-ACTION FIRE RESISTANCE... Pydraul F-9 protects equipment and personnel in the event of contact with ignition sources and remains fire resistant in use . . . contains no water to evaporate and leave a flammable residue. During its long use by industry, Pydraul F-9 has been accidentally discharged over molten metal, red-hot ingots, arcs, open flames and sparks . . . without causing fire. Pydraul F-9 has never caused or contributed to hydraulic fire in any type of equipment. Pydraul F-9 is the only fireresistant hydraulic fluid to be listed by Underwriter's Laboratories. Here are the results of the important laboratory tests for fire resistance: HOT-MANIFOLD TEST (per MlL-F-7100) Pydraul F-9 exposed to the surface of e manifold, 1300 F. FLUID DID NOT FLASH OR IGNITE HIGH PRESSURE IGNITION TEST (AMS-3150B, 4.9.3.2, and MIL-F-7100) Pydraul F-9 sprayed through a small orifice at 1000 psi, passing through the flame of an oxyacetylene torch, 6000 F. FLUIO DID NOT FLASH OR IGNITE LOW-PRESSURE SPRAY TEST (AMS-3150B) Pydraul F-9 sprayed through an orifice at low pressure, the mist passing over an ignited oil-soaked rag. FLUID DID NOT INCREASE INTENSITY OF FLAME MOLTEN METAL IGNITION TEST Pydraul F-9 poured on the surface of a molten alloy, exceeding 1100 F. FLUID DID NOT FLASH OR IGNITE PYDRAUL F-9 IS PERFORMANCE PROVEN... Pydraul F-9 has compiled an excellent performance record in a wide variety of equipment in many industries. This list shows typical applications.

PYDRAUL F-9 HAS PREVENTIVE-MAINTENANCE PROPERTIES... Pydraul F-9 is known throughout industry for its quality and dependability . . . wherever machines have been converted from water based fluid to Pydraul F-9, users report maintenance tasks drop off sharply. The reason is this: Pydraul F-9 was especially designed to give the excellent performance of a premium petroleum oil with the added protection of fire resistance. These properties of Pydraul F-9 make it a true preventive-maintenance fluid . . . OUTSTANDING STABILITY Pydraul F-9 doesn't wear out in use. Systems have operated on Pydraul F-9 since it was introduced in 1951 without a single fluid change... you don't have to inspect it monthly or plan any fluid changes other than normal make-up requirements. PREMIUM LUBRICITY GOOD ANTIRUST PROPERTIES NONTHICKENING Pydraul F-9 has exceptional film strength and load-carrying capacity. In this respect, it outperforms even the best petrolum oils. Parts show very little wear when operated on Pydraul F-9. Pydraul F-9 docs not cause rusting of metals, does rot lose antirust properties with use. Pydraul F-9 does nol thicken or form sludge with use. Pydraul F-9 systems run cleaner than even those on premium petroleum oil. 0098493 I j TOWOLDMON0022130 WATER_PCB-00006599 TOWOLDMONOQ22131 WATER_PCB-00006600 Viscosity: Laboratory viscosity measurements are affected by fluid density. Because all petroleum oils have similar densities, their measured viscosities can be compared. The densities of synthethic fluids vary, however, so the measured viscosities must be corrected in order to compare them. in the graph below, curve "M" is the laboratory-measured viscosity of Pydraul F-9. "C" shows the viscoeity-temperature relationship modified for the differences in density of oil and Pydraul F-9. By comparing curve "C" with a viscosity curve of a medium-weight-petroleum hydraulic oil, you can see that the two are essentially equivalent at normal operating temperatures. mm tm m tm . \m im i Wmi'V W** t,, ?-i>* S'. .

Repeated or prolonged skin contact should be avoided since the fluids are excellent solvents for the normal skin oils. When splashed or sprayed into the eyes, the Pydraul fluids cause painful smart ing. There is no evidence, however, of any permanent eye injury. In the event of accidental contact with the eyes, the eyes should be flushed with plenty of water for 15 minutes and the workman referred to a physician. Physicians have used a 1% pontocaine solution and opthalmic cortisone acetate solution to relieve irritation. Respiratory protection or mechanical exhaust ventilation should be provided if there is repeated and prolonged contact of the fluid with heated surfaces with resulting volatilization or possible decomposition of the fluid. For short periods, such as might arise in turning off equipment following the rupture of hydraulic lines or other mechanical failure, no auch protection is necessary. Toxicity studies demonstrate that the Pydraul fluids are generally comparable to petroleum-based hydraulic fluids with respect to short-term massive exposures. The details of animal toxicity studies arc available from Monsanto's Medical Department. Pydraul F-9 can be stored at sub-zero or high temperatures without freezing or heat damage to the fluid. Drums stored outside should be tightly sealed to prevent entry of moisture. Inside or sheltered storage is preferred. 0098495 / Monsanto \.l k TOWOLDMON0022132 WATER PCB-00006601
