Product Description
Service Parts and Oil – SKU -L42001-LEYBONOL LVO 420 -LVO420 1 Liter
Perfluoropolyether (PFPE) oils consist of carbon (C), fluorine (F), and oxygen (O) atoms. These oils are highly stable due to the existing C-O and C-F bonds, which makes them resistant to oxidizing and chemical impacts. Furthermore, high-intensity radiation cannot cause perfluoropolyether to polymerize.
Perfluoropolyether is especially useful for pumping highly reactive compounds such as halogens, hydrogen halides, and strongly oxidative substances like oxygen, ozone, or nitric oxides. However, it’s important to note that some Lewis acids may not be entirely inert. Substances like boron trifluoride (BF3) and aluminium trichloride (AlCl3) may react at temperatures higher than around 150 °C (302 °F).
Properties
- Chemically inert
- Highest thermal stability
Applications
- Pumping of strong oxidants like oxygen, ozone, or nitrous oxides and reactive substances like halogens, hydrogen halides, and Lewis acids.
Note
- Use only in pumps modified for PFPE.
- Mixing with any type of other oil must be strictly avoided.
- Avoid pumping water vapour, particularly in connection with corrosive media.
- The use of a chemical oil filter CF/CFS is strongly recommended
Used in the pumps of series
- SOGEVAC BI-series with 1 ph motors ≤ SV 40 BI
