Shell Irus DR 46

Main Applications

• Hydraulic and power transmission systems used in the steel and mining industries and other applications which call for a fire resistant hydraulic fluid
• Die-casting machines
• Billet loaders
• Electric arc furnaces
• Forging presses
• Welding robots
• Continuous casting machines
• Hydraulic presses
• Extrusion presses

Performance, Features & Benefits

• Fire resistance
  Irus DR has excellent fire resistance. This is demonstrated in numerous standard tests designed to simulate its performance in the three most common fire risk scenarios:
• Ignitability of a spray or jet of fluid
• Spillage on to a hot surface or molten metal
• Ignitability of the fluid when soaked into an adsorbent material
• The fire resistance is inherent in Irus DR. It is not achieved by the use of additives and therefore will not change with time. Protection is available throughout all parts of the system and the whole time the fluid is in the system.
• Non-toxic under EEC Regulations
• Extended fluid change intervals
• Pump life similar to life with mineral hydraulic oils
• Fire resistance maintained during the life of the fluid
• Compatible with most seal materials
