Fomblin® perfluoroethers are a unique line of lubricants offering exceptional chemical resistance, better subzero temperature properties, greater thermal and oxidative stability and lower evaporation loss than almost all other types of formulated lubricants. Though non-reactive themselves, due to their permeability to gases and vapors, Fomblin fluids may not always provide adequate rust protection to metal surfaces. In these applications, often under extreme conditions of oxygen and humidity, it is desirable to enhance performace by a rust preventative additive.
Based on proprietary technology, Solvay Solexis has developed a line of patented PFPE-soluble anti-wear and anti-rust additives. These new soluble addtives, "Fomblin DA series", are derived directly from Fomblin's production process and and contain functional groups, which can interact with the substrate and thereby improve surface protection.
