Exxon HyJet IV-A plus

Fire-Resistant Phosphate Ester Aviation Hydraulic Fluid

Product Description

Exxon HyJet IV-Aplus is a fire-resistant phosphate ester hydraulic fluid designed for use in commercial aircraft. It is the best-performing Type IV fluid and approaches to a great extent many of the performance capabilities of Type V fluids, including high temperature stability,fluid life, low density, and rust protection. It is superior to all other Type IV fluids in these respects. Exxon HyJet IV-A plus meets the specifications of all major aircraft manufacturers and SAE AS1241.

Features and Benefits

Exxon HyJet IV-A plus offers the following key features and benefits:

FeaturesAdvantages and Potential Benefits
Best in high temperature stability among Type IV fluidsLonger fluid life.
Lesser need to replace fluid due to degradation.
Reduced hydraulic system maintenance costs
Lowest density Type IV fluidReduced weight of the hydraulic fluid carried by aircraft.
Reduced aircraft fuel consumption, lower operating costs
Effective rust protectionReduced the risk of equipment damage in the event of major water contamination
Excellent low temperature flow (viscosity) propertiesPrecise hydraulic system control and response even during extended range/polar flights.
Longer equipment life
Excellent deposit controlLonger equipment life.
Reduced maintenance costs
Excellent protection against electro-chemical corrosion (erosion)Protection against servo valve and pump damage
Approved by all major aircraft manufacturersUse as fleet lubricant by airline operators
Fully compatible with all approved phosphate ester hydraulic fluidsFlexibility in use by airline operators
