Specialty Lubricants
Fluorolube® greases and Fluorolube® oils have a proven history of providing metal surfaces with superior protection from corrosion, heat, chemicals, friction and oxygen for longer equipment life.
Developed in the 1970s by Occidental Chemical and later acquired by Gabriel, Fluorolube® greases and oils have a proven history of providing metal surfaces with superior protection from corrosion, heat, chemicals, friction and oxygen for longer equipment life. These specialty lubricants are saturated, hydrogen-free, low-molecular weight polymers of chlorotrifluoroethylenes (CTFE). With properties such as chemical inertness, non-flammability (no fire or flash points), good thermal stability, low toxicity, high density, long life, lubricity and high dielectric strength, these versatile, specialty lubricants are among the safest, most economical lubricants on the market.
Fluorolube lubricants offer excellent stability and performance in strongly acidic and/or oxidizing environments, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
- Chemical Manufacturing
- Cryogenic Compressed Gases
- Electrical Applications - Dielectric Fluids
- Hydraulic Fluids
- Index Matching Fluids
- Instrument Fill Fluids
- Laboratory Apparatus
- Medical Applications – Life Support Systems
- Metalworking
- Nuclear Industry
- Pulp and Paper Industry
- Steel Industry
- Water and Wastewater Treatment
- Heat Transfer Fluids
Fluorolube Grease
Pliable paste lubricants available in a range of viscosities for stable, long-lasting lubrication.
Fluorolube® greases are liquid lubricants that deliver long-lasting lubrication for metallic surfaces (except copper, aluminum and magnesium) in applications requiring stability and performance in strongly acidic and/or oxidizing environments. They are saturated, hydrogen-free, low-molecular weight polymers of chlorotrifluoroethylenes (CTFE). Available in a range of viscosities for demanding conditions, Fluorolube greases are compatible with chlorine, oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, red fuming nitric acid and other strong oxidizing agents. They consist of about 80 percent combined fluorine and chlorine and are nonflammable.
Fluorolube Oil
Liquid lubricants that deliver superior stability, lubricity and viscosity.
Fluorolube® oils are liquid lubricants that deliver long-lasting lubrication for metallic surfaces (except copper, aluminum and magnesium) in applications requiring stability and performance in strongly acidic and/or oxidizing environments. They are saturated, hydrogen-free, low-molecular weight polymers of chlorotrifluoroethylenes (CTFE) that combine high-temperature performance, non-flammability and chemical inertness under many demanding conditions. Available in a range of viscosities, Fluorolube oils are compatible with chlorine, oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, red fuming nitric acid and other strong oxidizing agents. They consist of about 80 percent combined fluorine and chlorine and are nonflammable.
