Solvay Fomblin Y LOX120

Solvay Fomblin Y LOX 120 (now manufactured and sold by Syensqo, a spin-off from Solvay) is a high-performance perfluoropolyether (PFPE) synthetic lubricant. It is specifically designed for extreme or hazardous conditions such as liquid compressors, high-pressure oxygen systems, and vacuum equipment, providing exceptional safety and chemical stability when exposed to strong chemical media and high concentrations of oxygen.

Solvay Fomblin Y LOX120

Product Overview

Key Features & Benefits
  • Excellent Oxygen Compatibility: It is completely inert in oxygen-enriched or liquid oxygen environments, offering no flash point or auto-ignition point to eliminate fire and explosion risks.
  • Outstanding Chemical Inertness: Highly resistant to aggressive chemicals, including strong acids, alkalis, chlorine, fluorine, organic solvents, and petroleum-based fuels.
  • Low Vapor Pressure: Minimizes fluid evaporation and backstreaming in high-vacuum or high-temperature environments, preventing system contamination.
  • Thermal Stability: Operates reliably across a broad temperature range from -46°C to over 100°C without thermal decomposition.
  • Safety & Durability: Non-toxic, hydrolytically stable, radiation-resistant (Gamma rays), and offers a service life multiple times longer than standard mineral oils.
 
Typical Applications
  • Oxygen Generation & Transport: Lubrication for industrial oxygen compressors, valves, regulators, and piping components.
  • Vacuum Pumps & Hydraulics: Base fluid for high-vacuum pumps operating in harsh chemical or semiconductor processing environments.
  • Corrosive Chemical Handling: Mechanical components exposed to highly reactive gases and corrosive media.
