Because of its unique properties, water glycol is fast
gaining popularity as an alternative to conventional mineral
oil lubricants for hydraulic systems.
Since 35-60% of water glycol is made up of (you guessed it)
water, its obvious advantage is greater fire resistance. In
situations where hydraulic piping and hoses could rupture
and spray hydraulic fluid onto hot surfaces, mineral-based
fluids would ignite and present severe hazard to equipment
and personnel.
The initial cost of converting an oil-based system to water
glycol is very quickly offset by insurance savings and
increased workplace safety.
