Hydraulic fluids primarily lubricate pumps and motors within the hydraulic system without impairing the function of other components. Hydraulic equipment uses hydraulic fluids and in case of oil leakage, especially if the fluid used is mineral oil comes into contact with heat source it may pose a great risk of a fire hazard. Fire resistant hydraulic fluids were developed to mitigate this risk. These fluids are widely used in various industrial equipment & machineries. As per the ISO classification, fire resistant hydraulic fluids are classified as HFA Type - Oil in Water Emulsions, HFB Type – Water in Oil Emulsions, HFC Type - Water Glycol Fluids, and HFD Type - Anhydrous Synthetic Fluids. Of these, water glycol hydraulic fluids are commonly used fire resistant hydraulic fluids. The appropriate fire resistant hydraulic fluid should be selected by working closely with the fluid manufacturer for analyzing the system operation and matching the equipment needs with fluid capabilities.
Water
glycol fluids offer an optimum combination of fire resistance and performance
& cost economics. Water glycol fluids are widely used fire-resistant fluids
because of the way they combine fire-resistant properties with lubrication
performance to provide excellent value. Water glycol fluids (HFC) are made up
35% to 40% of water to provide resistance to fire; glycol, and water soluble
thickener to improve viscosity. Water glycol fluids also contain additives to
prevent foaming, rust, and corrosion; and improve lubrication. Additives are
performance enhancing chemicals. They include corrosion inhibitors for vapor as
well as liquid phase, viscosity index modifiers, anti-wear additives for
lubrication, and metal passivators for copper, brass and bronze. These
additives usually account for 10% to 15% of total fluid composition. Unlike
mineral oils, water glycols do not degrade by heat or metal in the system that
acts as catalysts. Thus, these fluids offer virtually an indefinite life with
little maintenance.

Based on
region, the global water
glycol hydraulic fluids market can be segmented into North America,
Latin America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific
is the dominating region of the global water glycol hydraulic fluids market,
led by the presence of large number of steel mills, foundries, slag management,
casting and forging, and machining plants. The region is followed by Europe.
Demand for water glycol hydraulic fluids in China has been rising at a fast
pace since the last decade. Production and demand for water glycol hydraulic
fluids is expected to continue to increase in the country in the near future.
The economy of China has been expanding at a rapid pace due to the increase in
industrial output, imports & exports, consumer consumption, and capital
investment. North America is among the major regions of the market owing to the
high per-capita consumption of lubricants. The market in Middle East &
Africa is also estimated to expand significantly during the forecast period
owing to the growth in the industrial sector.
