Fomblin Y04 Very Low Viscosity PFPE Lubricant ISO VG 15
Material: PFPE (Perfluoropolyether)
Viscosity (40°C): 18.0 cSt
Viscosity Index: 65
ISO Grade: 15
Packing: 5 kg / drum
Fomblin Y04 is a very-low-viscosity perfluoropolyether (PFPE) lubricant within the Fomblin Y series. Produced by Syensqo, formerly Solvay, this fluid offers excellent high-temperature stability, good low-temperature properties, very good extreme pressure and wear characteristics, and low evaporative loss. It has a kinematic viscosity of 18.0 cSt at 40°C and 3.60 cSt at 100°C, classified as ISO VG 15 with a viscosity index of 65.
Fomblin Y04 is the lowest viscosity grade in the Fomblin Y series, making it ideal for ultra-high-speed applications requiring minimal fluid resistance and maximum heat dissipation. Its excellent EP and wear characteristics (Four Ball Wear Test 0.53 mm at 75°C, 1200 rpm, 40 kg) provide outstanding protection for precision mechanical systems. With a pour point of -58°C and a low molecular weight of 2,000 amu, Y04 delivers superior low-temperature flow performance and rapid thermal response for demanding high-speed applications.
