Product functions

Chemical Resistance:

• High Purity: Minimizes contamination risks in sensitive equipment, critical for applications where even minor impurities can cause problems.
• Chlorine Resistant: Withstands exposure to chlorine without degradation, making it suitable for bleach manufacturing, water treatment facilities, and other chlorine-handling environments.
• Sour Gas Resistant: Handles exposure to sour gases like hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide commonly encountered in oil and gas production. This makes it valuable for downhole tools, wellhead components, and other equipment used in demanding oil and gas environments.
• Good Glycol Resistance: Compatible with glycols used in antifreeze and hydraulic fluids, allowing use in components exposed to these fluids (potentially relevant in some industrial settings).
• Bio-Fuel Resistant: Resistant to degradation by biofuels, making it suitable for use in biofuel production and storage facilities.
• Fuel Resistant: Compatible with various fuels, including gasoline and diesel, allowing its use in fuel system components like seals and O-rings.
• Alkali Resistant: Can withstand exposure to alkaline solutions, making it valuable in applications like chemical processing and cleaning solutions.
• Acid Resistant: Resistant to attack by acids, which broadens its range of applications in chemical plants and other environments where acidic substances are present.
• Alcohol Resistant: Unaffected by alcohols, allowing for use in applications involving alcoholic beverages, pharmaceuticals, and cleaning solutions.
• Mineral/Synthetic Oil Resistant: Compatible with both mineral and synthetic oils, making it a versatile choice for lubrication applications across various industries.
• Detergent Resistant: Can withstand exposure to detergents, which is beneficial for applications involving cleaning processes or harsh environments.
• Hydrolysis Resistant: Resistant to breakdown by water, ensuring its stability and performance in humid or wet environments.

Physical Properties:

• Low Moisture Absorption: Crucial for applications where moisture can be present, such as some machinery lubrication.
• Dielectric Properties: Information not provided for M15 RP specifically. While some Fomblin® products exhibit dielectric properties, consult the datasheet for confirmation on its suitability for electrical insulation.
• Non Flammable: Enhances safety in applications around heat or potential ignition sources.
• Light Stabilized: May be resistant to degradation caused by light exposure, ensuring long-term performance even in outdoor applications.
• Transparency: Likely clear or slightly translucent, potentially allowing visual inspection of the oil level in some equipment.
• Radiation (Gamma) Resistant: Information not provided on M15 RP's specific radiation resistance. The datasheet should be consulted for confirmation on radiation resistance.
• Low Temperature Flexibility: Maintains flexibility at low temperatures, allowing for use in cold weather conditions or applications requiring low-temperature operation.
• Good Thermal Stability: Performs well at high temperatures without significant change in properties, making it suitable for demanding thermal environments.
• High Heat Resistant: Can withstand exposure to very high temperatures, allowing for use in applications involving extreme heat.
