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