Hydraulic hose deterioration due to oil compatibility
Hydraulic hose deterioration due to oil compatibility
(OP)
I have observed a neoprene lined hydraulic hose apparently weep the oil out. This is most obvious around the outside bend radius of the hose. The fluid is Quintolubric 888.
Has anyone else seen this ?

I bet if you looked up the properties for Quintolubric 888, perhaps the WHIMIS sheet or manufacturer specifications, the fluid dissolves the rubber matrix leaving only the additives behind.
Kind of bogus if you are not designing a sprinkler!
