PLURACOL V-10 . . . N E W P0LY0L FOR NONFLAMMABLE HYDRAULIC FLUIDS
Wyandotte's Pluracol® V-10 . . . a new thickening agent for glycol-water type, fire-resistant hydraulic fluids . . . is available now in commercial quantities. It offers an outstanding combination of properties for this application . . . high viscosity, excellent viscosity control, and exceptional heat stability. A high molecular weight polyoxyalkylene polyol, Pluracol V-10 is effective at low concentrations in glycol-water solutions permits fluid formulations that contain as much as 35% water. This amount of water gives the fluid an extremely high autogenous ignition temperature. The flash point of Pluracol V-10 polyol is 510°F. Its fire point is 535°F. It has withstood temperatures as high as 392°F. for long periods of time, in the absence of air, with very little color change. It is infinitely soluble in water . . . and may comprise from 1% to 10% of formulated fluids, making possible a broad range of controlled viscosities. In addition to its principal use as the thickening agent for nonflammable hydraulic fluids . . . Pluracol V-10 acts as a lubricant for hydraulic-system circulation pumps. On diecasting machines in particular, its nonflammability is an important advantage . . . because of the possibility of a rupture in hydraulic lines near molten metals. Petroleum fluids are potentially dangerous here. Pluracol V-10 is a new material. Many possible uses for it have yet to be explored. It has been suggested for hydraulic glass-forming machines, aircraft catapults, fork lift trucks. If its properties suggest that it may be useful to you . . . write us for samples and data. So that the information we send may be as pertinent as possible, include details on your requirements . . . and to assure prompt attention, address your inquiry to Department CO.
