Hydraulic Fluids Product Data castrol.com/GPS 800 255 4417 May 2025 GPS Castrol ® Anvol ® SWX 46 Fire Resistant Hydraulic Fluids Castrol Anvol SWX 46 products are HFDU Polyolester type hydraulic fluids as defined by ISO 6743/4 and ISO 12922 (1) . ey meet the requirements for Factory Mutual Category 1 Classification. Castrol Anvol SWX 46 products are outstanding in their category in providing a safe working environment, improved system reliability and ready biodegradability. Formulated to work in high-pressure hydraulic systems up to 7500 psi, Castrol Anvol SWX 46 provides gear, vane and piston pumps with protection against wear equivalent to that of mineral oils. Castrol Anvol SWX 46 is designed to combine fire resistance with outstanding system reliability and a reduced tendency to form varnish or sludge in valves, pipes and reservoirs. It also provides greater resistance to water by offering high levels of corrosion prote ction and ease of separation. Even in the harshest steel mill environment, Castrol Anvol SWX 46 provides safety, protection and reliability. is has the added value of reducing failures and minimizing unscheduled downtime. Application Castrol Anvol SWX 46 is used in areas of the manufacturing industry where there is high risk of fire such as hot strip mills, coil handling facilities, pipe mills and continuous casters. e risk is minimized by Castrol Anvol SWX 46's high fire point and a low heat of combustion. Performance Benefits • Greater fire protection: With a high fire point and shear stability, Castrol Anvol SWX 46 provides excellent fire suppression characteristics, thereby creating a safer working environment and greater equipment protection. • System protection from water: Castrol Anvol SWX 46 is designed to separate water to allow it to be re- moved from the system. Advanced corrosion inhibition protects ferrous components from any residual water. is reduces rust and leads to extended equipment life and a reduction in downtime. • Stability in harsh operating environments – Resistance to oxidation and thermal degradation and improved filter tolerance. – Reduces sludge/varnish formation and the potential for valve sticking/failure. – Ensures that product life is extended with greater drain intervals. – Maintains fire protection characteristics with use. (1) per ISO 6743 / 4 and ISO 12922:1999 / Corrigendum 1:2001 (E), these are classified as synthetic fluids free of water, but of other composition than HFDR (Phosphate Ester)]. • Readily biodegradable – Conforms to highest standards of biodegradability and has low toxicity. – Environmentally friendly hydraulic fluids providing pump performance that is equivalent to mineral oil. – Well suited for applications where inadvertent environmental contamination might occur due to leakage. – Easily exceeds the 60% bioconversion of CH2/CH3 to CO2 within 28 days as per OECD 301 B.
