Micro-emulsion

HWBF hydraulic fluid where any elements to be mixed into the medium in order, for example, to improve lubricity and increase corrosion protection are added as very small droplets. Micro-emulsions are associated with a far higher degree of dispersion — even reaching the colloid dispersion range — than commercially available macro-emulsions. Micro-emulsions may only be used instead of mineral oil in power hydraulic systems if due consideration is paid to the design of the hydraulic devices involved. Concentrates
