TLC Oil 10

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
