Solvay Fomblin Y06

Solvay Fomblin Y06 (now part of Syensqo, a new brand spun off from Solvay) is a high-quality perfluoropolyether (PFPE) vacuum pump oil. It is specifically designed for industrial and semiconductor vacuum pump systems subjected to extreme, highly corrosive, or high-heat loads that conventional hydrocarbon (mineral) lubricants cannot withstand.

Product Overview

Key Features & Benefits
  • Chemical Inertness: Resistant to strong acids, alkalis, halogens (like chlorine), and highly reactive process gases.
  • Non-Flammable: Features no flash point or fire point. It is completely safe to use in pure oxygen or enriched oxygen environments without the risk of explosion.
  • Low Vapor Pressure: Maintains a vapor pressure as low as 3 × 10⁻⁶ torr at 20°C, ensuring optimal vacuum levels and minimal fluid loss through evaporation.
  • Thermal Stability: Offers exceptional resistance to high-temperature thermal degradation and maintains fluid flow at extreme low temperatures.
  • Food Grade Certification: This fluid carries the NSF H1/H2/HX-1 certification, making it approved for incidental food contact in commercial processing machinery.
