Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Where is PFPE Oil most commonly used?
It is widely used in demanding applications such as pumps and valves in chemical processing, vacuum pumps in semiconductor manufacturing, bearings in precision instruments, and valves in oxygen systems.
Q2: What is the main advantage of PFPE Oil over standard lubricants?
The key advantage is its extreme stability. PFPE does not break down, oxidize, or react chemically under high temperatures and in corrosive environments, whereas standard lubricants would quickly degrade.
Q3: Why is PFPE Oil preferred in the semiconductor industry?
Due to its ultra-low volatility and high purity, it maintains critical high-vacuum conditions and prevents carbon contamination on sensitive components like silicon wafers.
