Agitation of Hydraulic Fluid Review

Agitation: To reduce the potential for oxidation, oxidation inhibitors are added to the base hydraulic fluid. Two types of inhibitors are generally used: chain breakers and metal deactivators. Chain breaker inhibitors interrupt the oxidation reaction immediately after the reaction is initiated. Metal deactivators reduce the effects of metal catalysts.
