Claims
- 1. A flame retardant hydraulic oil containing a hydraulic base oil comprising a polyol partial ester which is a product obtained by reacting (A) a polyol having a total of 3 to 12 carbon atoms and a total of 3 to 6 hydroxyl groups with (B) at least one acyclic monocarboxylic acid having a total of 6 to 22 carbon atoms, said polyol partial ester having a hydroxyl value of 35 mg KOH/g or more, a flash point of 290° C. or higher and a number average molecular weight of 600 to 1,500; said hydraulic oil having a flame retardancy as expressed in terms of the length of continuous burning time of not more than 30 seconds.
- 2. The flame retardant hydraulic oil as set forth in claim 1, further containing 0.01 to 2.0% by weight of a high-molecular compound having a number average molecular weight of 10,000 to 400,000.
- 3. The flame retardant hydraulic oil as set forth in claim 2, wherein said high-molecular compound is selected from the group consisting of polymethacrylate-based polymer and styrene-maleic acid ester-based copolymer.
- 4. The flame retardant hydraulic oil as set forth in claim 1, having a biodegradability of 67% or higher as the result of a biodegradation test on the basis of CEC method.
- 5. The flame retardant hydraulic oil as set forth in claim 2, having a biodegradability of 67% or higher as the result of a biodegradation test on the basis of CEC method.
- 6. The flame retardant hydraulic oil as set forth in claim 3, having a biodegradability of 67% or higher as the result of a biodegradation test on the basis of CEC method.
- 7. The flame retardant hydraulic oil as set forth in claim 1, wherein the hydraulic base oil consists essentially of the polyol partial ester.
- 8. A flame retardant hydraulic oil consisting essentially of a polyol partial ester as a hydraulic base oil, said polyol partial ester being a product obtained by reacting (A) a polyol having a total of 3 to 12 carbon atoms and a total of 3 to 6 hydroxyl groups with (B) at least one acyclic monocarboxylic acid having a total of 6 to 22 carbon atoms, said polyol partial ester having a hydroxyl value of 35 mg KOH/g or more, a flash point of 290° C. or higher and a number average molecular weight of 600 to 1,500, and up to 2.0% by weight of a high molecular weight compound having an average molecular weight of 10,000 to 400,000; said hydraulic oil having a flame retardancy as expressed in terms of the length of continuous burning time of not more than 30 seconds.
- 9. The flame retardant hydraulic oil as set forth in claim 8, wherein said polyol is selected from the group consisting of trimethylolpropane, glycerin, pentaerythritol and dipentaerythritol and said at least one monocarboxylic acid is selected from the group consisting of oleic acid, isostearic acid, 2-ethylhexanoic acid, caproic acid, and capric acid.
- 10. The flame retardant hydraulic oil as set forth in claim 8, wherein the high molecular compound is selected from the group consisting of polymethacrylate, styrene-maleic acid ester copolymer, hydrogenated styrene-butadiene copolymer, styrene-isoprene copolymer, polypropylene glycol dimethylether and ethylene-propylene copolymer.
