Overview
Krytox™ 1506XP is a highly engineered PFPE-based oil for use in vacuum pump systems where traditional lubricants cause safety, waste disposal, or maintenance concerns. Krytox™ 1506XP vacuum pump fluid (VPF) delivers exceptional performance with nonflammable and nonreactive chemistry for chemical and oxygen service applications.
Krytox™ 1506XP Oil has a viscosity of 15.5 cSt at 50°C and is distilled for lower operating temperature ranges. Krytox™ 1506XP has been formulated with oil-soluble additives to prevent and protect equipment from rust and corrosion.
Features & Benefits
- Nonflammable
- Nonreactive/inert
- PFPE chemistry
- Recyclable
- Oxygen safe
- Long-term robust thermal stability
- Wide temperature range
- Anti-rust performance additives
- Safe for O-ring, valve, and component parts
Problems Solved
Excessive rust or surface damage in vacuum pump
Excessive reactivity between lubricants, oils, elastomers, plastics, or chemistry
Unsafe or flammable oils or vacuum pump fluids
Applications
Krytox™ 1506XP is engineered for premium lubrication and protection for a range of vacuum pump applications where rust and corrosion are problematic.
While Krytox™ VPF fluids are inert and nonreactive to all elastomers, plastics, and metals, the soluble additives in Krytox™ XP lubricants have not been tested with all materials. Initial testing has shown no problems with Teflon™ fluoroplastic resin, Kalrez® perfluoroelastomer parts, or Viton™ fluoroelastomer, nitrile, and silicone rubbers. The performance of the soluble additives could degrade over a long period at temperatures more than 182°C (360°F).
