FAQs of Fomblin Lubricant:

Q: How should Fomblin Lubricant be stored and what is its shelf life?

A: Fomblin Lubricant should be kept in its original, sealed bottle away from moisture and contaminants. When properly stored, it offers an indefinite shelf life, maintaining its properties over extended periods.

Q: What are the benefits of using Fomblin Lubricant in vacuum pumps and compressors?

A: Fomblin Lubricant provides superior thermal and chemical stability in vacuum pumps and compressors. Its extremely low vapor pressure and high dielectric strength ensure optimal lubrication with minimal evaporation, protecting internal parts while supporting high-performance operation.

Q: When is Fomblin Lubricant recommended over conventional oils?

A: This lubricant is recommended when extreme temperature range, chemical resistance, and minimal vapor pressure are required. Its synthetic PFPE formulation is better suited to environments exposed to aggressive chemicals, clean rooms, or high vacuum settings compared to conventional oils.

Q: Where can Fomblin Lubricant be safely applied?

A: Fomblin Lubricant can be safely used in industrial machinery, vacuum systems, bearings, compressors, seals, and anywhere lubrication is needed in aggressive chemical or clean environments. Its compatibility with metals, ceramics, glass, and most plastics allows it to be integrated into a vast array of equipment.

Q: What is the process for applying Fomblin Lubricant to components?

A: For best results, clean the surfaces thoroughly before application to remove any existing residues or contaminants. Apply the lubricant directly where needed, ensuring even coverage. The oils high viscosity (240 cSt at 20C) ensures it remains in place during operation.

Q: How does Fomblin Lubricant ensure safety in sensitive environments?

A: Fomblin Lubricant is non-flammable, non-toxic, and non-corrosive, making it safe for use in clean rooms, laboratories, and hazardous environments. Its high dielectric strength provides electrical insulation, safeguarding against electrical risks in sensitive equipment.
