Hello, Bill.

I hope this can help you:

Look for the search feature in the homepage of most lubricant makers, and type "factory mutual" then you should receive a couple results with the products you are looking for, i do remember N Y V A C in the m 0 b i 1 catalogue and 1 R U S in the s h e l l catalogue, i am sure you will find the other products in the other homepages.

thanks Ariel i will give that a try.

Hi Bill,

Look into Chvron Product range they have products like FRHF 46, water glycol based product

Dear Bill

It is also Approved by Factory Mutual.

It has very high Viscosty Index so it will do,nt giove you Pressure drop problem at High temp areas.

Plz mail me your Equipment details at rrsdelhi@gmail.com

Polyol Ester has been out since 1970's it is nothing new. It is hydrolytically unstabil and in many systems have created sludge and varnish which we all no is bad for your servos. This reaction has shut down plenty hydraulic units out the in the industry.

i agree, polyol ester is old technology....polyether polyol is the new wave of the future...polyol ester varnishes alot and is subject to hydrolysis.
