In coal mines and steel mills, standard hydraulic oil can become a deadly fire hazard when high-pressure lines rupture near hot surfaces. Fire-resistant hydraulic fluids use water-based emulsions or synthetic esters that won't ignite even at temperatures exceeding 600°C. Aircraft landing gear systems also rely on these special fluids to prevent catastrophic fires during emergency landings. The trade-off is that these safer fluids often cost three to five times more than conventional hydraulic oils.
