Product functions

Chemical Resistance:

• High Purity: Minimizes contamination risks in sensitive equipment, critical for applications where even minor impurities can cause problems.
• Chlorine Resistant: Can withstand exposure to chlorine without degradation, making it suitable for bleach manufacturing, water treatment facilities, and other chlorine-handling environments.
• Sour Gas Resistance (Uncertain): Data on specific resistance to sour gases (like hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide) is not available. These gases are more commonly encountered in oil and gas production, and their relevance depends on the intended application.
• 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 (Uncertain): Data on specific resistance to biofuels is not available. The relevance depends on the intended application.
• Fuel Resistant (Uncertain): Data on specific resistance to various fuels (beyond what might be minimally encountered in some industrial settings) is not available. The relevance depends on the intended application.
• 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 (important for vacuum pump applications where moisture can be present).

Physical Properties:

• Low Moisture Absorption: Crucial for applications where moisture can be present, such as vacuum pump applications. Fomblin® Y LVAC 06/6 RP's low moisture absorption helps it maintain performance even with some moisture exposure.
• Dielectric Properties (Uncertain): Information not provided for Y LVAC 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: May be clear or slightly translucent, potentially allowing visual inspection of the oil level in some pumps.
• Radiation (Gamma) Resistant (Uncertain): Information not provided on Y LVAC 06/6 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.

Primary Function:

• Vacuum Pump Lubrication (Likely): Due to its chemical resistance, low moisture absorption, good thermal stability (a common feature of Fomblin lubricants), and likely compatibility with refrigerants used in some vacuum pumps, Fomblin® Y LVAC 06/6 RP is a strong candidate for lubricating rotary vacuum pumps. It minimizes friction and wear, protects components, and performs well even in the presence of some moisture.
• Additional Applications (Uncertain): While vacuum pump lubrication seems like a primary function based on the provided properties, the datasheet should be consulted to confirm its suitability for other potential applications requiring a lubricant with these characteristics.
