Description:

Castrol Anvol SWX 46 is a synthetic polyol ester type hydraulic fluid for use in applications that require a high degree of lubricity and fire resistance according to Factory Mutual category 1.
Formulated to work in high pressure hydraulic systems up to 7500 psi, Castrol Anvol SWX 46 provides geared pumps with protection against wear equivalent to that of mineral oils.
The fluid has a naturally high viscosity index and is shear stable, a significant advantage in modern sensitive equipment. It is designed for superior system reliability through 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 protection and ease of wateroil separation.

Application:

Castrol Anvol SWX 46 was initially designed for use in robot hydraulic systems where close tolerance spool valves are used. It also has applications in the steel and aluminium die cast industries where its high flash point and fire point is an advantage and is specified in the Offshore industry for use in drawworks braking units.
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.

Advantages:

System Protection from Water
Castrol Anvol SWX 46 is designed to separate from water in order to allow for easy water removal from the system. Advanced corrosion inhibition protects ferrous components from any residual water, this reduces rust and leads to extended equipment life and a reduction in downtime.
Stability in Harsh operating Environments
Resistance to oxidation and thermal degradation for improved filterability means less sludge and varnish formation, this also aids the prevention of valve sticking failures. Reducing deposits and increasing thermal life of Castrol Anvol SWX 46 ensures longer system life with greater drain periods.
Superior Equipment Performance
Extended pump life.
Reduced replacement/maintenance costs.
Longer life of systems.
