Reality – Only phosphate ester type non aqueous fluids like Fyrquel do not support their own combustion, i.e. are self extinguishing fire resistant fluids. As a result, phosphate ester fluids are the only non aqueous fluids providing users with this highest level self extinguishing fire protection. Many other fire resistant fluids base their claim to fire resistance by virtue of being more difficult to ignite than mineral oil but once ignited are easily shown to continue to burn like mineral oil. Fyrquel phosphate ester fluids are both difficult to ignite and self extinguishing.
