Abstract

Abstract This paper looks at the properties of perfluoroether fluids, in terms of their phyisical and chemical properties and antiwear characteristics. The molecular weight‐, kinematic viscosity‐ and specific gravity‐temperature relationships are given, and the fluids' chemical resistance and compatibilty with plastics and elastomers. Test results for for fluids on lubricity are given, as well as information on PTFE greases.
