Fomblin® Y LVAC 06/6 RP

Fomblin® Y LVAC 06/6 RP has been developed to reduce or prevent rusting when pumping large volumes of steam or when the metal surfaces of the pump are exposed to moisture. The optimal additive concentration in the Fomblin® Y LVAC 06/6 RP grades has been formulated to protect against rusting while maintaining the physical properties and vacuum performance of the grade.
