This gallon can of AeroShell Fluid 31 is a synthetic hydrocarbon based aircraft hydraulic fluid with greatly improved fire resistance characteristics when compared with conventional petroleum products.
AeroShell Fluid 31 has a specially designed base stock which imparts a relatively high flash point, excellent low temperature properties and good oxidation and thermal stability. In addition, AeroShell Fluid 31 is formulated with high technology additives to provide oxidation and corrosion resistance, antiwear, and anti-foaming protection.
AeroShell Fluid 31 is superclean filtered to ensure optimum performance in particulate monitored systems.
AeroShell Fluid 31 is dyed red.
The useful operating temperature range is -40 to +205°C.
