TorrLube TLC 13 is a high-performance lubricant designed for use in extreme high-temperature and high-vacuum environments. It is an excellent choice for critical applications that require long-lasting lubrication with minimal evaporation and outgassing. TLC 13 has a very low vapor pressure, making it suitable for use in high vacuum environments. It is nonflammable and non-reactive, making it compatible with most materials used in Semiconductor and Aerospace industries. TorrLube TLC 13 can be easily removed using TorrLube Solvent, and like all TorrLube oils and greases, it is proudly made in the US

TLC 13 is recommended for precision systems that require clean, stable lubrication in vacuum or atmospheric conditions. It is especially useful when the application requires a stronger lubricating film than TLC 10, but does not require the absolute lowest vapor pressure of TLC 15.

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-temperature mechanical assemblies
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

Property	TLC 13 Specification	Engineering Relevance
