Skydrol™ aviation hydraulic fluids

Your fluid choice can impact the performance of your aviation hydraulic system. That’s why you need a fluid developed to meet the requirements established by manufacturers and backed by recognized experts in phosphate ester technology. Skydrol was the first fire-resistant hydraulic fluid in the industry. Today, it remains the most advanced aviation hydraulic fluid. With Skydrol, you not only get a proven product but also access to our technical experts and unique sample analysis program.

Skydrol PE-5

Skydrol PE-5 is the first name in aviation hydraulic fluids. A Type V, fire-resistant hydraulic fluid specifically formulated to meet the changing needs of the aviation industry, PE-5 offers the longest fluid life of any phosphate ester fluid available today, even under high moisture conditions. With PE-5, you can experience less frequent fluid replacement, reducing disposal volume and decreasing your environmental footprint.

Skydrol 5

For a lighter-weight hydraulic fluid, you need Skydrol 5. With its lighter weight due to a lower density, you can save fuel and see an overall cost savings. At higher temperatures, you may experience erosion, but Skydrol 5 is the first aviation hydraulic fluid demonstrating erosion-resistance at higher temperatures so that you can experience decreased maintenance and downtime.

Skydrol LD-4

The world’s best-selling Type IV aviation hydraulic fluid, Skydrol LD-4, features low density, valve erosion prevention, and deposit control. Erosion resistance is made possible by a breakthrough anti-erosion additive and acid scavenger found in the formulation. For more than 35 years, there has been no change in the formulation, giving LD-4 the reputation as the premier aviation hydraulic Type IV fluid.
