Functions of Fomblin® Y LVAC 25/6

Chemical Resistance:

• High Purity: Minimizes the risk of contamination in sensitive equipment, which is important for applications where even small impurities can cause problems.
• Chlorine Resistance: Can withstand exposure to chlorine without degradation, making it suitable for use in detergent manufacturing, water treatment facilities, and other chlorinated environments.
• Sour Gas Resistance: Withstands exposure to sour gases commonly encountered in oil and gas production, such as hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide. This makes it valuable for oil drilling tools, wellhead components, and other equipment used in harsh oil and gas environments.
• Good Glycol Resistance: Compatible with glycols used in antifreeze and hydraulic fluids, allowing use in components exposed to these fluids, such as pumps and heat exchangers.
• Biofuel Resistance: Resistant to degradation by biofuels, making it suitable for use in biofuel production and storage facilities.
• Fuel Resistance: Compatible with a variety of fuels, including gasoline and diesel, making it suitable for use in fuel system components such as gaskets and rings.
• Alkali Resistance: Can withstand exposure to alkaline solutions, making it valuable in applications such as chemical processing and cleaning solutions.
• Acid Resistance: Resists attack by acids, expanding its range of applications in chemical plants and other environments containing acidic substances.
• Alcohol Resistance: Unaffected by alcohol, making it suitable for use in applications involving alcoholic beverages, pharmaceuticals, and cleaning solutions.
• Mineral/Synthetic Oil Resistance: Compatible with both mineral and synthetic oils, making it a versatile choice for lubrication applications in various industries.
• Detergent Resistance: Can withstand exposure to detergents, making it beneficial for applications involving cleaning processes or harsh environments.
• Hydrolysis Resistance: Resists degradation by water, ensuring stability and performance in humid or wet environments.
