Fire-Resistant Hydraulic Fluids

Reduce your impact on the environment

Mining or steel operations in environmentally sensitive settings need hydraulic fluids that not only deliver high levels of protection to equipment but also help you reduce the impact, of an accidental leak or spill, to the ecosystems around your facilities.

Our portfolio of specially formulated fire-resistant hydraulic fluids are difficult to ignite and designed not to propagate a flame from an ignition source, in comparison to mineral-based fluids. 

It also features products that are classified as readily biodegradable with low eco-toxicity – engineered to reduce the impact of spills and leaks, helping you meet your environmental responsibilities.

Discover our fire-resistant hydraulic fluids

Our portfolio of fire-resistant hydraulic fluids is designed for effective fire-risk reduction, across a range of metal, industrial and mobile applications. Using fire-resistant lubricants is a cost-effective option compared with installing mechanical fire-suppression equipment.

We help customers to make the right selection for their business through a detailed dialogue about the products that could, and should, be selected for each application. This advice draws on Shell’s expertise with the products and the customer’s understanding of the end use.
