Castrol Brayco 1720
Series
Perfluoroether Lubricant Gear, Pump
and Lubricating Oil, Chemically Inert, Oxidizer Compatible
Description
Castrol Brayco® 1720 Series Oils are
clear, colorless low molecular weight perfluoroether oils. The oils are
chemically inert to virtually all chemicals, and safe to use in direct contact
with oxidants such as LOX/GOX and chlorine. Castrol Brayco® 1720 Series Oils
are nonflammable and non-toxic. Castrol Fluoroclean™ X100 and Castrol Fluoroclean™
HE can be used to remove these lubricants. Refer to the data sheets for
information regarding these products.
Application
Castrol Brayco®1720 Series Oils are
intended for use as gear, pump, and lubricating oils where direct or indirect
contact with aggressive chemicals, oxidants, and low temperatures are routine.
The Castrol Brayco® 1720 Series Oils can also be used as vacuum pump oils in
operations requiring vapor pressures as low as 10-4 torr. Perfluorinated
fluids, in general, exhibit excellent shelf lives due to their intrinsic
inertness.
