What is FLUOROLUBE GREASE, GR-362?
Chemical properties
Polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE) is more expensive than poly tetrafluoroethylene and its use is comparatively limited.
The preferred commercial method of preparation of polychlorotrifluoroethylene is by suspension polymerization using procedures similar to
those used for polytetrafluoroethylene. In order to obtain polymer of high
molecular weight, reaction temperatures are generally kept in the range
0-40°C. Initiation is commonly by means of a redox system activated by a
metal salt, e.g. persulphate - bisulphite with a ferrous salt. Average molecular
weights of commercial polymers are within the range 50000-500000.
Polychlorotrifluoroethylene is a white solid. Compared to poly tetrafluoroethylene, it has greater tensile strength, hardness and resistance to
creep. The presence of a chlorine atom, which is larger than a fluorine atom, in the polymer does
not permit such close chain packing as is possible with polytetrafluoroethylene. Thus polychlorotrifluoroethylene has a lower softening point and can be
processed in the melt. Because of the lower tendency to crystallize, it is
possible to produce thin transparent films by rapid quenching. The presence
of chlorine in the polymer results in greater interchain attraction and
accounts for the better mechanical strength of polychlorotrifluoroethylene.
On the other hand, the unsymmetrical structure leads to poorer electrical
insulation properties.
The chemical resistance of polychlorotrifluoroethylene is very good but
not as good as that of polytetrafluoroethylene. Molten alkali metals and
molten caustic alkalis attack the polymer and a few halogenated solvents
swell or dissolve the polymer at elevated temperatures.
Polychlorotrifluoroethylene may be melt processed. Standard techniques of extrusion and injection moulding may be used
but careful temperature control is required since degradation occurs at
processing temperatures, which are normally in the range 230-290°C.
Degradation is accompanied by development of unsaturation and may
involve the following chain splitting rearrangement:
The temperature range of useful performance is from about -loooe to
200°C.
Polychlorotrifluorethylene finds limited use for such items as
diaphragms, gaskets, electrical components and transparent windows for
chemical equipment. Dispersions are used for the preparation of films
and coatings.
The Uses of FLUOROLUBE GREASE, GR-362
Valves, seals, packaging films, electroluminescent display panels, bearings where high wear is a problem.
The Uses of FLUOROLUBE GREASE, GR-362
Poly(trifluorovinyl chloride) acts as a protective barrier against chemicals. It is used as a coating and prefabricated liner for chemical applications. PCTFE is also used for laminating other polymers like PVC, polypropylene, PETG, APET etc. It is also used in transparent eyeglasses, tubes, valves, chemical tank liners, O-rings, seals and gaskets. Patterned Poly(trifluorovinyl chloride) guides primary nerve cell adhesion and neurite outgrowth.
The Uses of FLUOROLUBE GREASE, GR-362
Halocarbon oil 700 has been used:
- to facilitate piercing of vitelline membranes with a glass capillary to make small holes on spider embryos
- in microinjection procedure to track the vesicular stomatitis virus infection in Caenorhabditis elegans
- for live imaging of embryo sample using Zeiss LSM710 confocal system
What are the applications of Application
Halocarbon oil 0.8 is a low viscosity oil mostly used as an inert low temperature bath fluid
Production Methods
PCTFE is a polymer of chlorotrifluoroethylene. It is prepared by free-radical polymerization in an aqueous emulsion using organic or water-soluble initiators or ionizing radiation. Examples of applications of PCTFE are plastic molded parts in chemical process equipment and electric parts.
General Description
Halocarbon oil 27 is?a polymer of chlorotrifluoroethylene (CTFE). It is used to lubricate pumps in hyperbaric chambers.
Industrial uses
The properties of FLUOROLUBE GREASE, GR-362 are generally similar tothose for polytetrafluoroethylene; however, thepresence of the chlorine atoms in the formercauses the polymer to be a little less resistant toheat and to chemicals. The polymonochlorotrifluoroethylenecan be shaped by use of conventionalmolding and extrusion equipment, and itis obtained in a transparent, noncrystalline conditionby quenching. Dispersions of the polymerin organic media may be used for coating.
The applications of FLUOROLUBE GREASE, GR-362 in general similar to those for polytetrafluoroethylene.Because of its stability andinertness, the polymer is useful in the manufactureof gaskets, linings, and valve seats thatmust withstand hot and corrosive conditions. Itis also used as a dielectric material, as a vaporand liquid barrier, and for microporous filters.
