TLC Oil 10

Name: TLC Oil 10
SKU: 0007

TorrLube TLC 10 is a flagship high vacuum, high-temperature lubricant developed for critical applications. It is a low vapor pressure lubricant that can handle very high temperatures and provides excellent lubricity both in atmosphere and vacuum. The intrinsic inert nature of TLC 10 makes it non-reactive and compatible with most materials used in Semiconductor and Aerospace applications. It is non-flammable, highly resistant to aggressive chemicals, and safe for use in oxygen systems. TorrLube TLC 10 can be removed using TorrLube Solvent, and like all TorrLube oils and greases, it is proudly made in the USA.

TLC 10 is recommended for precision systems that require clean, stable lubrication with easier flow, lower drag, and strong low-temperature usability. It is especially useful when the application benefits from a lighter PFPE oil that can penetrate small clearances, coat intricate surfaces, and reduce friction in moving components.

Common application areas include:

Vacuum pumps and vacuum system components

Cleanroom and contamination-sensitive equipment

Semiconductor and high-purity processing systems

Oxygen-rich or oxygen-service environments

High-speed or finely tuned mechanisms

Precision bearings, gears, seals, and sliding interfaces

O-rings and elastomer sealing surfaces where compatible

Equipment exposed to aggressive chemicals, oxidizers, solvents, or reactive environments
