Description:

Fluorolube lubricants are a family of stable oils and greases available in a range of viscosities. They are

commonly used as lubricants and functional fluids in applications requiring stability and performance in strongly

acidic and/or oxidizing environments.

Thermal Stability:

Thermal stability of the Fluorolube Lubricants is between 300° and 600°F (150° - 315 °C) depending on the

duration of heating and the materials of construction. Exposure to high temperatures will cause these products

to depolymerize to lower molecular weight volatile compounds.

Thermal stability is affected by the presence of metals. High temperature uses of approximately 300 °F

(150 °C) should be evaluated before field application.

Fluorolube Greases consist of about 80% combined fluorine and chlorine and are nonflammable.

Precautionary Information:

CAUTION: Do not use on aluminum or magnesium parts when heavy friction or galling are possible. Detonation

can occur when Fluorolube Greases are allowed to contact these reactive metals free of their oxide coating in

confined spaces and under heavy loads or high pressure.

Fluorolube Lubricants may react violently with sodium and potassium metals, amines, hydrazine, liquid fluorine

and liquid chlorine trifluoride.

Due to their attack on the thickening agent, gaseous fluorine, hydrofluoric acid and caustic solutions are not

recommended for use with Fluorolube Greases. (This does not apply to the Fluorolube Oils.)
