FR fluids can be water glycol, phosphate ester, polyol ester and PAG fluids. Granted water glycol and Phosphate esters are more fire resistant than the polyol ester and PAG products. FM (factory mutual)is saying they have approved those products for use if they insure your company. FM looks into how much damage can be caused if a fluid burns. Keep in mind any fluid under the right condition will burn.


PAG FR Fluids have better lubricity and have better oxidation resistance than all other FR fluids. Furthermore they don't hydrolyze as they are inert to water and cannot form varnish. This is the reason to use PAGs. Poeple try everything to avoid varnish so why not use a lubricant that cannot form varnish in the first please. Look up EcoSafe FR from American Chemical Technologies or Coast Lubricants in Western Canada. www.coastlubricants.com
