Fomblin® YVAC 06/6
Edwards now offers an extended range of Fomblin® perfluoropolyether oils for use in rotary vacuum pumps. Fomblin® YVAC 06/6 is recommended for Edwards oil sealed rotary pumps and are practically a direct replacement for mineral oil in terms of viscosity and vapour pressure.
Edwards, in conjunction with Ausimont UK, has developed Drynert fluid which contains anti-rust and anti-wear additives soluble in Fomblin®. These additives cover metallic surfaces with a protective, corrosion resistant film.
