Looking for fire resistant hydraulic fluid alternative.
Looking for fire resistant hydraulic fluid alternative.
(OP)
Hi,
I´m looking for a fire resistant hydraulic fluid such as the Skydrol LD4, do you know another alternative that meets the MIL 0646 requirements, I need to have more alternatives not only the solutia Skydrol?
Thanks in advance

It's the same fluid used inside an oleo strut of a commercial aircraft.

supposedly a direct replacement for 5606, but more fire resistant.
Used in the Cessna Citation "CJ" series. Much friendler to us maintenance folks then skydrol
RE: Looking for fire resistant hydraulic fluid alternative.
When I was in the USMC (as a wee lad), hydraulic fluid was 5606 (A6Es around 1974).
Most of my heavy jet wrench time I was around and way too often in Skydrol. That's some nasty stuff!
Years later while working my way through school I did a stint with a commuter outfit and saw MIL-H-83282.
Much nicer to work around.

I would not use Skydrol unless I had compelling reasons to do so.
