Repsol Telex HFC 46

Description
Telex HFC is a fire resistant hydraulic fluid based on a mixture of water and glycol. It is a fluid designed primarily to replace mineral oil hydraulic systems where there is a high risk of fire.
It has water content of around 37% and has been designed for use in the metallurgical industry which requires excellent lubricity and there are extreme operating conditions. The loss of water content can result in increased viscosity and would require the addition of deionised water to recover the properties.
Recommended uses
It is especially appropriate for hydraulic systems which, due to their characteristics or location, have a risk of fire and where the fluid does not exceed 60 °C. It is therefore a fluid of increased security in mines, the steel industry, industries of the manufacturing of parts (such as smelting) or for plastic deformation of parts such as forges or presses.

Fire control: Foams, dry chemicals, CO2, water spray. Do not apply water jet directly as this may cause the product to spread.
Environmental precautions
Danger of physical contamination in the case of spillage (water flows, coastal areas, the ground, etc.) due to its floating capacity and oily consistency which may cause damage to fauna and flora with which it comes into contact. Avoid its penetration into water containers or outlets.
Decontamination and cleaning: Treat as an accidental oil spillage. Avoid spreading by using mechanical barriers and eliminate using both physical and chemical means.
