Fomblin® DA 410

Fomblin® DA 410 is a functional fluorinated additive that enhances the performance of perfluorinated greases at high temperatures in the presence of metals. Adding DA 410 to greases results in minimal change to physical properties but may slightly increase volatility and reduce oil separation. This grease can be used at temperatures up to 250°C, depending on the base fluid.

Technical Data Sheet for Fomblin® DA 410

Functions of Fomblin® DA 410

• Good Surface Finish: By modifying the base grease, Fomblin® DA 410 can contribute to a smoother surface finish, which helps reduce friction and wear in lubricated parts.
• Low VOC Emissions: This feature is beneficial for environmental considerations and worker safety in applications where VOC emissions need to be minimized.
• Alcohol Resistance: The addition of Fomblin® DA 410 to base greases enhances their alcohol resistance, making them suitable for environments exposed to alcohol.
• Detergent Resistance: Similar to alcohol resistance, the grease becomes more resistant to detergents, broadening its range of applications.
• Transmissive (X-ray Visibility): This property is useful in situations where X-ray inspection of lubricated parts is required.
• Transparent: The additive or the resulting grease can be transparent, facilitating visual inspection in some applications.
• UV Protection: Fomblin® DA 410 provides UV protection to the grease, extending its lifespan in outdoor applications.
• Radiation (Gamma) Protection: This property may be valuable in environments with radiation exposure. Please refer to the data sheet for confirmation.
• Thermal Sterilization Resistance: The high temperature resistance of the grease is suitable for sterilization, which is important for lubricating medical equipment or other applications requiring a sterile environment.
• High Temperature Resistance: The additive improves the grease's performance under high temperature conditions, ensuring effective operation in demanding thermal environments.
