Product Description

Introduced in 1996, Skydrol 5 was the first Type V fluid qualified under the Boeing BMS 3-11 specification. Skydrol 5 offers higher temperature capability than Type IV fluids, the lowest density, and better paint compatibility. Skydrol 5 does not have universal air frame manufacturer approval, so consult Eastman's Skydrol Technical Service (800-260-4150) for specific approval and application information.
