Description
(Hydraulic & BOP Control Fluid Concentrates)
Erifon HD 603HP is a field proven, suitable for being diluted, water based hydraulic fluid specifically formulated for use in high-pressure open / vent to sea Blow Out Preventer (BOP) control systems. The fluid prevents valves from sticking even after long static periods and improves system life under slow moving high load conditions. Erifon HD603HP used at 2% dilution in fresh potable water (hardness ≤125ppm) and standard glycol if anti-freeze protection is required.

Material Compatibility
Erifon HD603HP Series contain performance additives which ensure high levels of compatibility with materials typically used in Blow out Preventer (BOP) control systems. Extensive material compatibility tests have been performed with Erifon HD603HP Series.
| Ferrous metals (cast iron, carbon steel, low & high alloy steels, stainless steels…) | Compatible |
| Non-ferrous metals (copper, brass, bronze and other metals and alloys*)… | Compatible with alloys typically used in subsea production control equipment. Avoid Zn, Cd, Pb and Mg metals. Aluminium should be hard anodised. |
| Coatings and ceramic materials | Avoid porous coatings. Compatible with most ceramic parts. Check ceramic coatings. |
| Packaging & sealing materials (elastomers and thermoplastics*) | Compatible with standard NBR, HNBR, FFKM, VMQ/FMVQ, CR, TFE/PTFE, PEEK. Some FKM & AU/EU/PU may show poor compatibility. |
| Umbilical hose liner thermoplastics | Compatible with Nylon 11, PE and Polyether ester copolymers. |
| Absorbent gasket materials | Avoid cork, leather, cotton impregnated materials. |
| Paints | Avoid painting internal surfaces Cured epoxy, phenolic and nylon based paints are satisfactory. Avoid less resistant paints as they soften. Wash spillages immediately with water. |
| Filter elements | Polypropylene and glass fibre filter elements recommended over paper filters. |
