Skydrol 5 Aviation Hydraulic Fluid, 5 Gallons

Skydrol 5 has a unique formulation built on a new base stock, tri-isobutyl phosphate. Most other phosphate ester-based products use tributyl phosphate as a major ingredient. The difference gives Skydrol 5 the lightest weight of any phosphate ester hydraulic fluid. Weight savings on the plane translate into fuel savings for the bottom line.

Airframe manufacturers and operators are becoming more conscious of the bene ts of weight saving in today's competitive environment. Any weight that can be removed from an aircraft translates to increased payload and/or fuel savings. Skydrol 5 sets a new standard as the lowest-density phosphate ester-based hydraulic uid. Typical weight savings per aircraft model are given in the graphic table. The use of Skydrol 5 can translate into 5 to 120 lbs. of weight savings depending on the aircraft model. This weight savings will lead directly to reduced fuel burn.

FEATURES & BENEFITS
