Halocarbon® 40 is a high-performance polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE) wax (CAS No. 9002-83-9) recommended for its excellent lubricity and sealing properties.
Halocarbon® 40 is a high-molecular-weight polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE) wax engineered for applications requiring exceptional chemical inertness, thermal stability, and low volatility. This dense fluorinated wax provides excellent resistance to oxidation, corrosive chemicals, and reactive gases, making it well-suited for use in demanding operating conditions and reactive gas applications. With a decomposition point above 300°C, Halocarbon® 40 delivers durable performance under high-temperature conditions where conventional hydrocarbon waxes may degrade or react.
