Durad® 150

Isopropylphenyl Phosphates

Description

Phosphate Esters are widely known as effective, ashless, anti-wear and mild extreme pressure additives for lubricants and functional fluids. The primary function of phosphate esters is to reduce friction and wear in applications where high loads cause boundary lubrication conditions. They also enhance solubility and stability in a wide range of lubricant base stocks.

The Durad® product line offers a broad range of physical and perfor- mance properties tailored for specific applications.

The high level of safety needed in both thermal and nuclear power plants make Reolube® Turbofluids the products of choice for power generation applications. There are other types of synthetic fluids promoted as being fire resistant and are FM Global Standard 6930 approved. However, their ease of ignition is only slightly better than that of conventional non-flame retardant lubricants, and when ignited these fluids readily propagate flame. In contrast, phosphate ester type fluids are extremely difficult to ignite and if ignited the flame will self-extinguish. This performance feature makes phosphate ester type fluids the preferable choice for applications with high fire risk.
