SynLube™ supplied hydraulic fluid (HF) which is similar to our PSF (Power Steering Fluid) is used by NASA in the Landing Gear System in every Space Shuttle Flight.

SynLube™ has been chosen because of its wide operating temperature range (-70 F to 700 F) high viscosity index (VI=220) and universal compatibility with the seals and materials used in the Landing Gear System components.
