Fire Safety
Midel has an impeccable 100% fire safety record which spans over three decades. Unlike mineral oil, Midel has a high fire point and is ideal for use in high risk areas such as buildings and tunnels.
Experience shows that transformer fires can be particularly unforgiving, spreading at frightening speeds and causing expensive damage. Unfortunately these potentially catastrophic fires are all too common in today's modern power distribution networks.
If you are not willing to expose your project to the unnecessary risk of a fire, Midel's excellent track record and superior fire resistive properties continue to make it the fire safe fluid of choice worldwide.
