Inventory Extended Details
AeroShell Fluid 41 is a mineral hydraulic oil manufactured to a very high level of cleanliness, and possesses improved fluid properties. AeroShell Fluid 41 is intended as a hydraulic fluid in all modern aircraft applications requiring a mineral hydraulic fluid. It is particularly recommended where use of a 'superclean' fluid can contribute to improvements in component reliability, and can be used in aircraft systems operating unpressurized between –54ºC to +90ºC and pressurized between –54ºC to 135ºC. AeroShell Fluid 41 should be used in systems with synthetic rubber components and must not be used in systems incorporating natural rubber. Chlorinated solvents should not be used for cleaning hydraulic components which use AeroShell Fluid 41. The residual solvent contaminates the hydraulic fluid and may lead to corrosion. AeroShell Fluid 41 is compatible with AeroShell Fluids 4, 31, 61 and 71, and SSF/LGF. It contains additives which provide excellent low-temperature fluidity, exceptional anti-wear, oxidation, corrosion inhibition, and shear stability. Metal de-activators and foam inhibitors are included in this high viscosity index fluid to enhance performance in hydraulic applications. AeroShell Fluid 41 is capable of wide temperature range operation and is dyed red.
