TLC Oil 13

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
Vapor Pressure at 20°C	≤ 2.6 × 10⁻¹³ Torr	Helps reduce evaporation, outgassing, and vapor contamination in deeper vacuum environments
Operating Temperature Range	-17°C to +357°C / 1.4°F to 675°F	Supports high-temperature operation while maintaining usability in cooler conditions
