setral® PFPE Lubrications for Extreme Requirements
PFPE (perfluoropolyethers) are very stable and inert chemical substances which, in the right chemical composition, produce an extremely inert material with excellent lubricating properties. Unlike conventional mineral-, synthetic- or silicone-based greases, PFPE lubricants do not fail at low or very high temperatures. Furthermore, they withstand aggressive media such as highly concentrated alkalis, acids, gases and cleaning agents and also have a long-term effect. This makes them the right lubricant for lifetime lubrication, which is particularly important for sensitive materials such as plastics, elastomers and wear-prone sliding couples. They ensure functionality, safety and quality in individual components, assemblies or manufacturing processes, while accounting for less than 0.015% of the total lubricant market. They also open up new possibilities in design and application for enormous cost-saving potential.
Greases are consistent lubricants. They are used for many different applications under manifold conditions.
Special Oils are liquids usually blended with additives. Setral provides products for diverse special applications partially operating under challenging environmental condition.
High-temperature oils are liquids usually blended with additives. Setral offers high performance oils for a broad variety of applications like chains, gears, ropes, compressors and many more.
Aerosols themselves can be considered a kind of packaging. They enable easy handling and application of lubricants, cleaners and anticorrosion agents.
Cleaner are evaporating fluids. There are commonly used prior to lubricant application to guarantee a clean surface or to remove used lubricants.
setral® PFPE lubricants have high resistances:
- High pressure resistance
- High oxidation stability
- High radiation resistance
- High vacuum resistance
- High temperature stability partially more than +300°C
- High chemical resistance, even against aggressive media such as acids and lye
setral® PFPE lubricants guarantee excellent compatibilities:
- Outstanding material compatibility, even with different material combinations
- Compatible with almost every common plastics
- Compatible with most seals (except fluorinated rubber)
- No swelling, shrinking, hardening, softening or embrittlement of seals
setral® PFPE lubricants show optimum physical properties:
- Low surface tension creates excellent, thin and even surface wetting
- Low vapor pressure results in very low evaporation losses
- Low setting point implies good low temperature characteristics
- Excellent lubricity reduces friction coefficient and energy input
- Good dielectric characteristics
- No flash point
- High viscosity index
- Transparent and odorless
setral® PFPE lubricants ensure safety in application:
- Non-inflammable
- Not labeling according to ordination of hazardous substances (GefStoffV)
- Partially with international H1 registration for the food industry
- Physiologically harmless
- Perfectly suited for life time lubricant
- Extremely long re-lubrication intervals compared to conventional lubricants
setral® offers over 70 PFPE based greases and oils and is always developing new lubricants
setral® PFPE lubricants Application areas:
- Lubrication on moving parts such as ball and roller bearings, valves, guide rails, chains and parts in precision engineering
- Application aid for seals and O-rings
- Reduction of mating forces
- Sealing against contamination and gases
- Permanent elimination of squeaking and creaking noises in automotive interiors
- Reduction of stick/slip effect

setral® PFPE lubricants display its entire benefits if a good adherence on the lubrication surface is allowed. Therefore a clean and residue-free surface is essential, which is achieved by thorough cleaning. For this cleaning, the use of CLEAN-setral-AN/U or CLEAN-setral-FD with mechanical support, followed by post-cleaning with CLEAN-setral-INT/648 is recommended.
