Product Description
Mobil Nyvac FR 200D is an extra high performance water-glycol type
fire-resistant hydraulic fluid. It is formulated with diethylene glycol as the
main glycol component. The product does not contain ethylene glycol. Mobil
Nyvac FR 200D provides excellent protection against rust and against vapour
phase corrosion. In hydraulic pump tests, it has shown a high level of
antiwear performance. A high viscosity index makes Mobil Nyvac FR 200D
effective over a wide range of operating temperatures. Its foam resistance,
low temperature flow and storage stability are also excellent.
The fire-resistant properties of Mobil Nyvac FR200D arise from its water
content. Even when the fluid is sprayed at a pressure of over 200 bar / 3000
psi from a diesel injector nozzle into a gas flame it will not ignite, nor
will it when dropped onto molten metal. The water content is important and
must be maintained at 38% to retain optimum fire resistant properties and its
viscosity characteristics. Viscosity increase due to loss of water by
evaporation can be easily corrected by adding deionised water to the product.
It is not recommended for use in systems operating at bulk fluid temperatures
above 65º C. Mobil Nyvac FR 200D is compatible with packings, gaskets, hoses
and accumulators made from materials normally encountered in hydraulic
systems, except items made from polyurethane, leather or cork materials. Mobil
Nyvac FR 200D is approved by Factory Mutual (FM) as a Group I HF-C fluid.
Mobil Nyvac FR 200D's wide application capability and excellent performance
make it the product of choice among many industrial users.
Features and Benefits
Mobil Nyvac FR 200D is a key member of the Mobil brand of fire-resistant
hydraulic fluids. Mobil Nyvac FR 200D was developed in conjunction with
hydraulic equipment builders to meet the needs of moderate pressure
applications where fire-resistance properties are critical, and where good
lubricity and product life are also required.

Applications
In common with all other water-glycol type fluids, Mobil Nyvac FR 200D is not
compatible with typical type paints. Epoxy or phenolic resin based paints are
suitable. Mobil Nyvac FR 200D should not be mixed with other types of fluids.
While it is compatible with other water-glycol type products, admixtures may
detract from the properties of the Mobil product. The water content is
important and must be maintained at 38% to retain optimum fire resistant
properties and its viscosity characteristics. It is not recommended for use in
systems operating at bulk fluid temperatures above 65º C.
Mobil Nyvac FR 200D is recommended for use in all types of hydraulic pumps and
motors operating close to a source of ignition, providing the manufacturers
instructions are observed. Typical applications include:
- Diecasting machines and presses
- Combustion regulators
- Furnace door openers
- Ladel-tilting mechanisms
- Glass drawing machinery
