Solvay Fomblin YLVAC 25/6

Solvay Fomblin® Y LVAC series is a high-performance perfluoropolyether (PFPE) inert vacuum pump oil specifically designed for mechanical vacuum pumps. The brand is currently owned by Syensqo, a specialty chemicals company spun out of Solvay. Due to its extremely high chemical inertness, excellent thermal stability, and extremely low vapor pressure, it is widely used in highly corrosive, high-purity vacuum environments in semiconductor, chemical, and laboratory settings.

Product Overview

Core Performance and Features

  • Extreme Chemical Inertness: Exhibits extremely high resistance to acids, alkalis, halogens (such as chlorine), and strong oxidizing gases, and will never react with them.
  • Excellent Thermal Stability: Does not decompose or coke under extreme high-temperature environments, ensuring long-term stable operation of the vacuum pump.
  • High Vacuum Guarantee: Possesses extremely low vapor pressure (approximately 6 × 10⁻⁸ Torr) and extremely low oil backflow rate, preventing volatile matter contamination of the vacuum system.
  • Extremely High Safety: No flash point or ignition point; will never burn or explode upon contact with high concentrations of oxygen or explosive gases.
  • Excellent Lubrication Protection: Viscosity grade approximately ISO VG 220, providing excellent wear resistance and sealing protection for rotary vane pumps, Roots pumps, etc.

    Main application scenarios

  • Semiconductor and electronic manufacturing: Suitable for plasma etching (Dry Etching), chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and other processes that generate corrosive gases.
  • Chemical and pharmaceutical industry: Chemical processing vacuum pumps used to remove highly corrosive media such as strong acids, strong bases, organic solvents or crude biofuels.
  • High Purity Oxygen Systems: Safe lubricating explosion-proof oil when pumping high concentration or pure oxygen vacuum systems.
  • Mainstream vacuum pump matching: often designated or recommended by internationally renowned vacuum brands such as Edwards for use in harsh working conditions.
