Fomblin Z03 is a low-viscosity perfluoropolyether (PFPE) lubricant from the Fomblin Z series, produced by Syensqo (formerly Solvay). It features ISO VG 15 viscosity grade, a viscosity index of 291, and an extremely low pour point of -90°C. With a molecular weight of 4,000 amu and excellent low-temperature fluidity, Fomblin Z03 delivers outstanding performance in cryogenic and high-speed applications requiring minimal resistance and superior cold-start behavior.
Fomblin Z03 offers exceptional low-temperature viscosity characteristics, making it ideal for applications requiring stable flow at extremely low temperatures. Its ultra-low pour point ensures reliable operation in cryogenic environments, while its chemical inertness provides protection against aggressive chemicals, acids, and solvents. With a surface tension of 23 dyne/cm and four-ball wear test result of 0.6 mm, this grade provides excellent film strength and anti-wear protection for high-speed and precision applications.
