It does not contain any petroleum, halo-gens, silicones or any other questionable material. Itquickly and thoroughly biodegrades in both soil andaquatic environments. The FLUID tested non-toxic inaquatic toxicity tests. It is tinted green to reflect itsfavorable environmental profile. ENVIROTEMP FR3 FLUID has an exceptionally highfire point of 360 C and flash point of 330 C. It has thehighest ignition resistance of less-flammable fluidscurrently available. It is referred to as a High FirePoint or "Less-Flammable" FLUID , and is Listed as aLess-Flammable Dielectric Liquid by Factory Mutualand Underwriters Laboratories for use in complyingwith the National Electric Code (NEC ) and insur-ance FR3 FLUID is compatible with standardtransformer insulating materials, components and withfluid processing equipment and procedures.

2 It demon-strates improved thermal characteristics with a vis-cosity closer to conventional transformer oil, superiordielectric strength in new and continued service appli-cations, and excellent chemical stability over time. Because of it excellent environmental, fire safetyand performance characteristics applications forEnvirotemp FR3 FLUID have expanded into a variety ofother equipment, including sectionalizing switches,transformer rectifiers, electromagnets, and voltagesupply circuits for luminaries. Other potential applica-tions under study include voltage regulators, high volt-age cables, and power substations. The FLUID is alsoused in retrofill applications for other FLUID filled distri-bution equipment.

4 These properties are subject to change without CPS Dielectric Fluids Products for recommended accep-tance values. Ask for ENVIROTEMP FR3 FLUID Specification Guideline,Bulletin unique chemical structure of EnvirotempFR3 FLUID provides superior performance characteris-tics. The FLUID maintains its dielectric strength muchbetter than other dielectric fluids when used as aload-break switch medium, and has the lowestgassing tendencies under electrical stress. Its cool-ing performance is superior to other less-flammablefluids. It has lower viscosity at operating tempera-tures than other less-flammable fluids. The fluidexhibited no measurable change in viscosity overexhaustive testing cycles. It has superior resistanceto coke and sludge formation when compared toconventional transformer oil. Under the same accel-erated coking tests, ENVIROTEMP FR3 FLUID producedless than 1/20 of carbonaceous coke than that pro-duced in mineral oil.

5 Doble Laboratories sludge-freelife test resulted in no measurable Stability TestEnvirotemp FR3 FLUID has an exceptional abilityto draw out retained moisture and absorb water driv-en off by aging paper. It also chemically helps pre-vent the paper molecules from severing whenexposed to heat. These attributes enable the fluidto significantly minimize the rate of aging of trans-former insulating paper. Tests have shown thatpaper aged in ENVIROTEMP FR3 FLUID takes 5-8 timeslonger to reach the same end-of-life points as paperaged in conventional transformer following chart shows a comparison of thetime to reach insulation end-of-life for thermallyupgraded Kraft paper aged in conventional trans-former oil and ENVIROTEMP FR3 FLUID .

6 Tobe conservative, extrapolation was not SAFETYE nvirotemp FR3 FLUID has a fire point of 360 C,well above the NEC minimum of 300 C. Its flash point(330 C) is higher than the fire point of most other cur-rently available less-flammable fluids. EnvirotempFR3 FLUID is certified as a less-flammable dielectriccoolant by Factory Mutual and UnderwritersLaboratories in compliance with the listing require-ments of the NEC. The National Fire ProtectionAssociation has no reports of fires or explosionsinvolv-ing transformers filled with ENVIROTEMP FR3 & Fire Point of Dielectric Fluids ( C)In large and small-scale tests, ENVIROTEMP FR3fluid has demonstrated greater fire resistance thanother askarel substitutes.

7 Factory Mutual acceptsEnvirotemp FR3 FLUID for transformers Approved perFM Standard 3990. OSHA has recognized this FMstandard as fitting the definition of a Listed andLabeled product per NEC Section 110-3(b). The stan-dard permits ENVIROTEMP FR3 FLUID -filled transformersto be installed indoors, typically without sprinklers orvaults, with minimum clearance to walls of just Laboratories developed Standard340 to compare the fire hazard rating of different flu-ids. The following graph demonstrates the favorablerating assigned to ENVIROTEMP FR3 FLUID . Fire Hazard Rating UL Standard 340 MEETING THE CODESLess-Flammable fluids are recognized as a firesafeguard by Section 15 of the National ElectricalSafety Code (Accredited Standards Committee C2). ENVIROTEMP FR3 FLUID meets the National ElectricalCode Section 450-23 requirements as alisted less-flammable liquid. It is covered by OSHA Article , Section 5(v).

For additional information, request the NECR equirement Guidelines, Bulletin & HEALTHE nvirotemp FR3 FLUID is specifically formulated tominimizehealth and environmental risk. It is made offood grade seed-oils and food grade performanceenhancing additives. The base oils come from renew-able resources - commodity seeds - and are easilyrecyclable and reusable. It does not require genetical-ly altered seed-oils. It has a trademark green tint tohelp differentiate it from other dielectric fluids. Itsbiodegradation rate is as good as the EnvironmentalProtection Agency standard reference material,deemed "ultimately biodegradable" per Aquatic Biodegradation GraphEPA Test OPPTS one of the most extremely sensitive acute toxi-city tests, the Trout Fry Acute Toxicity test OECD , ENVIROTEMP FR3 FLUID out-performed other dielec-tric fluids by achieving a zero mortality rate through-out the entire test ENVIROTEMP FR3 FLUID is formulated fromfood-grade oils and additives, it is not subject to theFederal Regulation of Used Oils (Title 40, No.)

It is fully miscible with conventional transformeroil, High Molecular Weight Hydrocarbons (HMWH), andmost askeral substitutes. Unlike retrofilling with otherless-flammable fluids, the residual transformer oil thatremains in the transformer typically will not reduce thefire point below the NEC minimum of 300 C. This istrue even after full equilibrium has been achievedbetween the replacement FLUID and the residual oil inthe FR3 FluidFlash & Fire Point Variation with Conventional Transformer Oil ContentAdditional advantages of retrofilling with EnvirotempFR3 FLUID include high dielectric strength, excellent lubric-ity, material compatibility, and a coefficient of expansionsimilar to conventional transformer oil.
