Fomblin DA 410

Fomblin® DA410 is functionalized fluorinated product used as additive in perfluorinated grease to improve the performance at high temperature in presence of metals. The physical properties of greases additivated with DA410 remain practically unchanged compared to those of the non-additivated greases; volatility may increase slightly, depending on the base fluid, and oil separation may decrease. Depending on the base fluid, these greases can be used at temperatures to 250 °C."

Technical data sheet

Product functions

Improved Performance in Greases:

• Good Surface Finish: By modifying the base grease, Fomblin® DA 410 may contribute to a smoother surface finish, potentially reducing friction and wear in lubricated components.
• Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) Emissions: This could be beneficial for environmental considerations and potentially for worker safety in applications where reduced VOC emissions are desirable.

Enhanced Grease Properties:

• Alcohol Resistant: The base grease may gain some level of alcohol resistance when Fomblin® DA 410 is added, allowing its use in environments where exposure to alcohols might occur.
• Detergent Resistant: Similar to alcohol resistance, the grease may become more resistant to detergents, potentially broadening its application range.

Other Potential Functions:

• Radiotranslucent (X-ray Visibility): This property might be advantageous in situations where X-ray inspection of lubricated components is necessary.
• Transparency: The additive itself or the resulting grease may be transparent, allowing visual inspection in some applications.
• UV Resistant: Fomblin® DA 410 may offer some UV protection to the grease, potentially extending its lifespan in outdoor applications.
• Radiation (Gamma) Resistance: This property could be valuable for use in environments with radiation exposure, but confirmation requires consulting the datasheet.
• Heat Sterilizable: The ability to withstand high temperatures for sterilization purposes could be relevant for medical device lubrication or other applications requiring sterile environments.
• High Heat Resistant: The additive may improve the high-temperature performance of the grease, allowing it to function effectively in demanding thermal conditions.
