Vacuum Pump Fluids

Krytox Vacuum Pump Fluid - *Krytox™ is made by DuPont®

A synthetic perfluoropolyether (PFPE) mechanical vacuum pump fluid which is the product of choice where complete nonflammability, oxygen compatibility and resistance to aggressive chemicals are requirements.

Low vapor pressures and reclaimability make this an excellent choice for plasma, cvd and other operations of semiconductor, disk drive and other high technologies. Available in grades for rotary vane pumps and diffusion pumps. The grades for rotary vane pumps are 1506, 1514 and 1525.

Halocarbon® Pump Fluids - *HaloVac™ is made by Halocarbon ® Corporation

These oils are used in compressors, pumps and gearboxes in pressure and/or vacuum applications where oxygen and oxidizing gases are involved.  Inert, non-corrosive and non-flammable, these synthetic c hlorotrifluoroethylene oils are extremely helpful in the safe handling of highly reactive or corrosive liquids.

piston and vane pumps, as well as pumps that are used for pumping liquid oxygen and flammable gases. Because of its higher viscosity it should go into larger pumps. This fluid has low vapor pressure and excellent chemical resistance and can be reclaimed many times. Grades are H-190, having the higher viscosity for rotary piston pumps, and H-100, a lower viscosity for rotary vane pumps.

TMC-20 is a severely hydrotreated paraffinic oil that is double-distilled through a molecular distillation process to remove light end fractions.  It is highly saturated and contains less than 0.01% sulfur. Exceptional long life and vacuum performance, with reduced build-up of varnish and/or carbon deposits on internal components.

Not recommended for oxygen and highly reactive gas loads. The price and quality make this the perfect choice for many applications, even where lower cost oils are used.

• Double Vacuum distillation             
• Excellent lubricating qualities             
• Reduced backstreaming             
• Excellent vapor pressure characteristics

TMC-19 mechanical pump fluid.  An affordable molecularly distilled hydrotreated paraffinic oil for use in mechanical vacuum pumps. Good vapor pressure and low backstreaming make this a good choice for non-corrosive vacuum applications. This product will support vapor pressures down to 1x10-5 Torr. If deeper vacuum is desired, TMC-20 would be a better choice.

Not recommended for oxygen and highly reactive gas loads. The price and quality make this the perfect choice for many applications, even where lower cost oils are used.

A low cost hydrocarbon oil used in mechanical pumps and as a flushing fluid.  Choices include viscosities ranging from 22 cSt to 75 cSt.  These are clear fluids containing less that 10 ppm sulfur.

Flushing fluids are used to remove light residues left behind by the old oil after draining the pump.  Heavy sludge build-up may require the use of a more aggressive cleaning fluid.  It can be used in all rotary vane and piston pumps.  After flushing, the pump can be refilled with either TMC-19 or TMC-20 Oil.

Not recommended for oxygen and highly reactive gas loads. The price and quality make this the perfect choice for many applications, even where lower cost oils are used.
