Alanqa Solutions is a trusted supplier of premium Skydrol aviation hydraulic fluids, ensuring top-tier performance for aerospace applications.
Skydrol 5 has a developed on a new base stock, triisobutyl phosphate. Most other phosphate ester products utilize tributyl phosphate as a major ingredient. The difference gives Skydrol 5 the lightest weight of any phosphate-ester hydraulic fluid, thus saving fuel.
The Skydrol 500 series of fluids has the prolonged service history among phosphate ester products. The first version, Skydrol 500, was launched in 1952. Steady improvements to the formulation led in 1977 to the current version, Skydrol™ 500B-4 which contains the same breakthrough anti erosion additive and acid scavenger found in Skydrol™ LD-4 . Skydrol 500B-4 is the most worker friendly of the aviation phosphate esters. This has given the product extensive popularity for use in work shops and indoor test stands.
Skydrol LD-4 was launched in 1977, and is well known all around the globe. At the time of its launch it was a breakthrough product, solving problems of valve erosion and thermal stability common in earlier fluids. Its superior thermal stability under real world conditions has given it a reputation as the gold standard among Type IV fluids. Skydrol LD-4 have properties like low density, excellent thermal stability, valve erosion prevention, and deposit control.
Skydrol PE-5 gives the ultimate in performance efficiency. It supplies all the advantages of the longest fluid life at design conditions, while the less frequent fluid replacement provides the benefit of reducing disposal volume.
