ROYCO 782 is a red-colored synthetic hydraulic fluid developed to meet the severe duty demands of today's military and industrial equipment. Modern additive technology is employed for oxidative stability, corrosion inhibition, and anti-wear protection. ROYCO 782 is compatible with petroleum-based fluids and all components used in mineral oil-type hydraulic systems.
ROYCO® 782 Applications ROYCO 782 is intended for use in severe duty applications requiring both low and high-temperature operation, extended periods between service intervals, excellent shear stability, water demulsibility, and the safety factor afforded by a synthetic fluid. ROYCO 782 is recommended for use in aircraft, missile, and ordnance systems using synthetic sealing materials, heavy-duty construction equipment, and industrial robotic hydraulic systems. ROYCO 782 is suitable for applications operating at temperatures from -40 to 204oC. This product is especially recommended for use where the high flash point provides added safety margins.
The Frekote 770-NC synthetic mold release I ordered has a 6-month shelf life from the factory. The can I received on 8/25 was set to expire on 8/31 according to the date printed on the bottom of the can. I called and sent a photo of the can bottom and they said it should have been taken off the shelf a month earlier, so they will send me a good can when new stock arrives without sending the out of date can back.
I appreciate the fast delivery and them taking care of the issue, but it means you could be buying product that has only one month of shelf life remaining. Call before you buy and have them confirm the expiration date of their stock and if it is less than works for you, work out delivery from fresh stock or negotiate a discount.
