Total Hydransafe HFC 146
01736 757002Total Hydransafe HFC 146 Biodegradable fire resistant hydraulic fluid.
- HYDRANSAFE HFDU 46 is recommended for hydraulic equipment operating in
locations comprising a fire risk such as iron and steel works (coking plants, blast
furnaces, continuous casting), mines, etc… - The use of HYDRANSAFE HFDU 46 lessens the serious risks presented by recourse to
a mineral oil on the occasion of rupture of a hose or when a leak gives rise to oil mist, in
the immediate vicinity of a flame, a part in the process of melting or a switch cupboard. - Thanks to its biodegradability, HYDRANSAFE HFDU 46 is especially recommended
when there is a possibility of water contamination: offshore, mines.
Total Hydransafe HFC 146 Product Advantages:
- Considerable fire resistance properties.
- High flash point and high spontaneous ignition temperature.
- Protection against wear and therefore a longer service life of the hydraulic components.
- Very good anti-corrosion properties.
- A very high natural viscosity index guarantees a viscosity constantly adapted to the temperature range in which the fluid must be used.
- Low pour-point provides good performances at low temperatures.
- Biodegradable.
- Limit temperature of use to 120°C.

Before using the product, the vehicle’s maintenance guide should be checked. The product should not be stored at temperatures over 60°C. It should be kept away from sunlight, intense cold and extreme temperature fluctuations. If possible, the packaging should not be exposed to the elements. Otherwise, the drums should be laid horizontally to avoid any contamination from water and to prevent the product’s label from rubbing off.
All packages should be stored under cover. Where outside storage is unavoidable drums should be laid horizontally to avoid the possible ingress of water and damage to drum markings. Products should not be stored above 60°C, or exposed to hot sun or freezing conditions.
