SELECTOR o Fire-Resistant Hydraulic Fluid A guide to selecting the correct low-cost synthetic base Pydraul fluid for an hydraulic system. These fluids provide antiwear oil performance . . . plus safety ... at the price of water glycols. O/FF-11 Monsanto STLCOPCB4074234 DSW 322584 @ STLCOPCB4074235 Development Fire protection for industrial hydraulic opera tions began with Pydraul in 1951. Pydraul fluids have since provided industry with millions of machine hours of safe operation. Pydraul fluid has never caused a fire--not even when sprayed from broken high pressure hydraulic lines onto white-hot surfaces. New ways are continuously being explored to improve the excellent performance records of Pydraul fluids. From the first Pydraul fluid, (Pydraul F-9) the family has grown to a dozenplus specially tailored, fire-resistant safety fluids. Each answers a major but specific hy draulic fluid need for industrial use. In addi tion to guarding against fire, each Pydraul fluid lubricates as well as premium grade oil. Pydraul fluids have answered the need of vir tually every industrial hydraulic operation, in doors and out--from the sub-zero, outdoor hy draulic lift operations for refineries and blast Performance Pydraul fluids offer a wide range of viscosities from which to select the proper range specified by the hydraulic equipment manufacturer. Whichever Pydraul fluid selected, each provides safety, premium lubricity, ease of maintenance, and freedom from corrosive action and foam. These Pydraul fluids have positive viscosity index, values, and are shear stable . .. they will not undergo a mechanical change in viscosity. INTRODUCTION OF LOW COST SERIES OF PYDRAUL SAFETY FLUIDS Pydraul 312 (now Pydraul 312-A) was the first of Monsanto's new series of low cost high per formance fire-resistant hydraulic fluids. Intro duced to the market in 1965, this chemistry was the latest innovation in synthetic safety hydraulic fluids. Pydraul 312 is now augmented with three other viscosity grade fluids which combine proved high performance with low cost. Besides providing safe hydraulic operations, these Pydraul fluids offer lubrication equal to or even better than premium grade oils; free dom from corrosive action and foam; ease of maintenance; permanence--they don't "wear out''. These new lower cost Pydraul fluids are unique formulations of synthetic fluids blended with selected high viscosity low volatility petroleum fractions. The results are a series of fire-resistant hydraulic fluids which match or excel existing hydraulic fluids--including synthetics, premium grade petroleum oils, and water base fluids--but whicli sell in the price range of water-glycol fluids. furnaces to the low-viscosity fluid demands of high-speed, precision machine tools. REFORMULATION The Pydraul fluids in this Selector were re formulated in 1970 to remove polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's). They are now designated with the letter "A" following the product name and provide equal or superior performance when compared to the original Pydraul fluids. Because some PCB's have been considered to be persistent in the environment, Monsanto chose to remove these components from Pydraul. We took this action voluntarily in an effort to demonstrate our environmental awareness. Reformulation of the Pydraul fluids provided us with the opportunity to make a number of product improvements, particularly in the areas of lubricity, pump performance and thermal stability. These improvements give you the benefit of the latest Monsanto technology in fire resistant hydraulic fluids. REDUCED FIRE INSURANCE RATES Pydraul eliminates fire hazards from hydraulic operations, reduces fire threats to surrounding structure and equipment. Insurance premiums for plants using Pydraul are often lower than premiums for operations using petroleum oil. LONGER PUMP LIFE Machines which operate on water-based fluids frequently require pump repair or replacement as often as every two or three months. Machines which use Pydraul hydraulic fluids can operate oh the same pump for several years. Pydraul hydraulic fluids give the same long pump life as the finest grade petroleum oil. NO CORROSION PROBLEMS Any metal hydraulic system component in con tact with Pydraul will not rust. Pydraul hy draulic fluids do not lose anti-rust properties even after extended use. MAXIMUM EQUIPMENT RESPONSE Pydraul never produces excessive froth or foam during normal operations to interfere with hy draulic equipment response. Because Pydraul hydraulic fluids lubricate as well as premium petroleum oils, Pydraul permits equipment to operate at optimum response capability. INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT DOWN-TIME ARE VIRTUALLY ELIMINATED Pydraul hydraulic fluids are designed to be permanent--they do not wear out. Normal "make-up" requirements are usually all that is needed for new Pydraul. Pydraul eliminates "drain and change" periods; it does not have to be inspected in your system from month to month--or replaced from year to year.

Virtually every type of equipment which uses fire-resistant hydraulic fluid has been converted to Pydraul fluids. Most equip ment manufacturers are experienced in Pydraul fluid conversions and should be consulted. If changing seals is necessary, equipment manu facturers can recommend what seals to change, and many carry a supply of correct seals. Laboratory tests and operational experience show' Viton*, Teflon*, and silicone the preferred elastomers for compatible seals. Please refer to the following section on seal and packing in formation for compatibility of Pydraul with other elastomers. To replace other fluids which are compatible with Pydraul and where compatible seals are in the system, it is only necessary to add Pydraul as make-up fluid. It is not necessary to drain or clean. When converting from petroleum oils, non-compatible synthetic fluids, water-glycol fluids, or water-in-oil emulsions, the following steps are recommended. These conform to USA Standard B93.5--1966. Please ask the Monsanto fluids specialist for recommendations and assistance. He may be reached by phoning the nearest sales office, listed on the inside back cover of this brochure- Change-Over Procedures CHANGING FROM PETROLEUM OIL 1. Completely drain and clean the system. Small amounts of oil will not interfere with the per formance of Pydraul, but resistance to fire is reduced by the amount of oil left in the system. 2. Drain and blow out pipelines. Manually clean valves and reservoirs. Registered trademark of E. I. Du Pont de Nemours & Co., Inc. 3. Open or remove and drain valves. Replace gaskets, packings, and seals with those compatible with Pydraul. It is particularly im portant to change dynamic seals. Static seals do not necessarily have to be changed if they are not leaking. Non-compatible static seals will have to be replaced when the part is disassembled for maintenance. 4. Remove pumps, accumulators, and cylinders, if necessary, for draining. Replace packings, seals, gaskets, and bladders with those com patible with Pydraul. 5. Check component functions before the systern is closed and fluid is added. 6. If your system cannot be completely drained, you may have to flush it with a small amount of Pydraul. CHANGING FROM WATER-GLYCOL OR WATER-IN-OIL EMULSION 1. Drain and clean system thoroughly. Remove all traces of water. Empty all lines and low points or dead pockets in components. 2. Clean with steam or warm water. Follow by blowing with dry air. 3. Check sealing materials, hoses, and accumu lator bags. Replace if necessary with com patible materials. 4. Install a minimum charge of Pydraul and operate the system from 16 to 24 hours. During this period, inspect the reservoir. If water or other contaminants float to the top, skim them off. 5. Drain the flushing charge immediately after shut-down while the fluid is warm. Drain all isolated points or parts which do not drain back to the reservoir. If water is apparent in fluid clinging to walls, wipe down all acces sible parts. CHANGING FROM PHOSPHATE ESTERS (OTHER THAN PYDRAUL) 1. Drain the system completely. 2. Cleaning is unnecessary. 3. Generally, seal changes are unnecessary at the time of conversion, but installation of compatible seals is recommended during routine maintenance.

California oSNNw95 STLCOPCB4074246 Reclaiming PYDRAUL Fluids Pydraul hydraulic fluid lost from leaks and spills can be reclaimed because it is exceptionally stable and resistant to water and other con taminates. If fluid losses are appreciable--fluid recovery can result in considerable savings. , Simply placing a container beneath leaks until they can be repaired will save some fluid. Where drip pans have been used beneath hydraulic machinery, more than half of the total Pydraul leakage has been reclaimed. This dollar-saving recovery appears especially advantageous because it isn't practical to re claim either water glycol or water-oil emulsions except to filter out large dirt particles. Re * claiming Pydraul fluid helps make it the most economical fire-resistant fluid available. Reclaiming Pydraul consists of two steps: re moving water, and filtering dirt or other solid particles. WATER REMOVAI__ Water does not mix with Pydraul and will, therefore, form a layer on top. A drum reserved for contaminated fluid with a side and end bung, placed horizontally on a cradle about two feet off the floor, is a simple and effective settling chamber. Salvaged fluid can be added through a large funnel in the top opening and Pydraul periodically drained off through the lower opening. > ) For a more elaborate system, permanently in stalled settling tanks, or a commercial installa tion can be used. A second method is centrifuging. Suitable units are madfe by DeLaval and Sharpies Co. Cen trifuges operate swiftly . . . will separate water from large volumes of fluid in a short time. FINAL FILTRATION ... A number of filtration units are available complete with filter pump and motor. Other systems use filter media such as cotton linters, felt or metal screens. Attapulgus clay and Fuller's earth may be used to help keep the fluid clean, reduce moisture and lower neutralization number. Diatomaceous earth filtration is recommended for solid parti cles removal only. Paper and fiber type filters are recommended for water and particle re moval but are ineffective for lowering neutra lization number (acidity) values. STLCOPCB4074247 Handling Animal toxicity studies and human experience indicate that the Pydraul hydraulic fluids may be used safely if a few reasonable precautions are taken. Repeated or prolonged skin contact should be avoided not only to prevent absorp tion of the material and possible systemic effect but, also, because the fluids are excellent sol vents for the oils normally present in the skin. Thus, drying and irritation could occur. When splashed or sprayed into the eyes, Pydraul causes painful smarting. 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 copious amounts of water for 15 minutes and the workman re ferred to a physician; physicians have used 1% Pontocaine solution and ophthalmic cortisone acetate solution to relieve irritation. When Pydraul is kept at room temperature, it does not constitute a vapor inhalation hazard except in a confined, unventilated space. Res piratory protection or mechanical exhaust ven tilation 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. Where a ruptured oil hydraulic line near a white-hot surface means a fire, a ruptured hydraulic line containing Py draul causes a vapor with an unpleasant odor that can help you locate the trouble. .
