Fomblin Fomblin PFPE: Greases Product Data Sheet Chemically inert lubricating greases are required when medium loads, where standard mineral and synthetic handling corrosive or oxidizing substances. Fomblin lubricants are not resistant to temperature and air fluorinated fluids are excellent base oils for high degradation. UT 18 is also used in lubricating special temperature, high performance greases. Fomblin optical and micromechanical equipment. greases are derived by thickening Fomblin fluids with RT 15: RT 15 is a homogeneous white grease suitable tetrafluoroethylene telomers, silicates, etc. Many of the for lubricating mechanical parts requiring boundary greases have USDA H1 listing. (extreme pressure) lubricating properties. Shell four Some formulations incorporate soluble fluorinated ball EP tests that Fomblin RT 15s welding point is 800 additives, for example in low noise applications, where Kg. Its operating temperature range is from 20 to rust prevention is required. However, more 200C. Its properties make it suitable in lubricating for commonly used additive packages including sodium life applications. nitrite and benzotriazole are also possible. In Y VAC 3:Y VAC 3 is a homogeneous white grease Fomblinhybrid greases, PFPEs may be added along particularly suitable for use as a lubricant of with standard base oils, such as mineral oil and mechanical parts operating at high vacuum and in synthetics, to make stable greases containing contact with aggressive chemicals or oxygen. Y VAC 3 conventional thickeners. is used in lubricating for life applications its General Properties lubricating properties make it suitable for parts requiring boundary (extreme pressure) lubricating Fomblin greases are homogenous, white, thick and properties. Its welding point, in Shell four ball EP tests, particularly resistance to oxidation and to chemical is 620 Kg. Y VAC 3 can be used to lubricate mechanical agents. Further, they are compatible with all types of parts subjected to high thermomechanical stress. Y material (glass, metals, elastomers, plastics, ceramics) VAC 3 can be used for long periods of time, and at very and their properties remain unaltered over wide high operating temperatures (from 20to 200C) and temperature ranges. Fomblin greases can be used in is therefore widely used in the manufacturing, the presence of water, oils, vapor and, in general, with aeronautical and electromechanical industries. all organic substances and solvents which are not highly fluorinated, without being removed, dissolved YRT 2:YRT 2 is a homogeneous offwhite colored or modified in any way. Fomblin grades are: grease having excellent rust inhibiting and solvent washout resistance properties. YRT 2 is suitable for OT 20: OT 20 is a homogenous white grease suitable lubricating mechanical couplings subjected to heavy for lubricating mechanical parts subjected to low loads, loads. Due to its good boundary lubricating properties used at low operating temperatures and high thermal YRT 2 can be used in various applications, especially ranges (from 70to 100C). OT 20 is particularly for lubricating roller bearings of suspended conveyors suitable for lubricating roller bearings of conveyor of conveyor belts in furnaces or painting/varnishing belts or suspended conveyor belts used in cold storage coating plants. rooms. YUH2:YUH 2 is a homogeneous offwhite colored UT 18: UT 18 is a homogeneous white grease suitable grease having excellent rust inhibiting properties. Its for lubricating mechanical parts used in wide chemical, physical and mechanical properties make it temperature intervals (from 30to 150C with peak suitable for long life lubrication of mechanical parts. temp. up to 200C). UT 18 is particularly suitable for lubricating friction mechanical parts subjected to To our actual knowledge, the information contained herein is accurate as of the date of this document.
