Product Overview
Skydrol PE-5 was developed to meet and exceed the more demanding Type V fluid requirements. It features the longest fluid life of any commercially available fluid, low density and low viscosity at low temperature—an unbeatable combination of the best features for optimum fluid performance. Thermal stability is according to Airbus test method, Fluid life test with 0.5% moisture level.
