TDS AeroShell Fluid 41

Technical Data Sheet
AeroShell Fluid 41
AeroShell Fluid 41 is a mineral hydraulic oil manufactured to a very high level of cleanliness, and possesses improved
fluid properties. AeroShell Fluid 41 contains additives which provide excellent low temperature fluidity as well as
exceptional anti-wear, oxidation - corrosion inhibition and shear stability. In addition metal de-activators and foam
inhibitors are included in this high viscosity index fluid to enhance performance in hydraulic applications. AeroShell
Fluid 41 is capable of wide temperature range operation.
AeroShell Fluid 41 is dyed red.

*Superclean grades
The British specification DEF STAN 91-48 covers two grades (normal and superclean) of mineral hydraulic fluid which differ only
in their cleanliness limits. AeroShell Fluid 41 is manufactured to meet the superclean requirements and thus it also meets the
requirements of the normal grade.
