Hydraulic and related fluids are used in a wide range of industrial situations where prevention of fire is critical.
Fire-resistant hydraulic fluids are indispensable for applications in numerous industries and are partly prescribed by law – these include the steel and Aluminium manufacturing, foundry industry, forging presses and metal die casting machines, control equipment of power plant turbines etc.

Fire-resistant hydraulic fluids are specially formulated lubricants that are more difficult to ignite and do not propagate a flame from an ignition source.

In general, fire-resistant hydraulic fluids can be divided into two categories: hydrous and anhydrous fluids.
Hydrous fire-resistant fluids HFA , HFB , HFC and Anhydrous fire-resistant fluids HFD

Shell having high performance HFC type Fire resistance fluid known as “SHELL IRUS C”.

All types of Fire Resistance hydraulic fluids are available in “Houghton” Fire Resistant Hydraulic Fluids.
