FLUOROLUBE® fluorinated oils deliver long-lasting lubrication for metals and metallic surfaces in hazardous operations. Fluorolube excels in extremely harsh acidic, hot, flamable, explosive and/or oxidizing environments.
These PCTFE fluropolymer oils are clear, colorless, fluorinated, synthetic, non-reactive, non-flammable, stable in chemical and oxygen services and environments, fully saturated, hydrogen-free, low-molecular-weight oils made from Chlorotrifluoroethylene Polymer (PCTFE). Fluorolube combines high-temperature performance, non-flammability, and chemical inertness under many demanding conditions.
Available in a range of viscosities, FLUOROLUBE® oils are compatible with chlorine, oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, red fuming nitric acid and other strong oxidizing agents, and are nonflammable.

Thermal Stability:
Thermal stability of the FLUOROLUBE® Lubricants is between 300° and 600°F (150° - 315°C) depending on the duration of heating and the materials of construction. Exposure to high temperatures will cause these products to depolymerize to lower molecular weight volatile compounds.
Thermal stability is affected by the presence of metals. High temperature uses of approximately 300°F (150°C) should be evaluated before field application.
FLUOROLUBE® Oils consist of about 80% combined fluorine and chlorine and are nonflammable.
Precautionary Information:
CAUTION: Do not use on copper, aluminum or magnesium parts when heavy friction or galling are possible.
Detonation can occur when FLUOROLUBE® Oils are allowed to contact these reactive metals free of their oxide coating in confined spaces and under heavy loads or high pressure.
FLUOROLUBE® Oils may react violently with sodium and potassium metals, amines, hydrazine, liquid fluorine and liquid chlorine trifluoride.
Product Name
FLUOROLUBE Oils - PCTFE Fluoropolymer Oil - Flame Resistant Corrosion Resistant Long Lasting Lubricants
Brief Description
FLUOROLUBE Oils are high-performance PCTFE (Polychlorotrifluoroethylene) fluoropolymer lubricants engineered for extreme and hazardous environments. These synthetic oils are non-flammable, chemically inert, and provide exceptional resistance to corrosion, high temperatures, and aggressive chemicals, ensuring long-lasting lubrication and protection.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Lubrication of machinery operating in high temperatures and corrosive environments.- Seals, gaskets, O-rings, and valves in aerospace and chemical processing.- Cryogenic storage tanks and systems for liquefied gases.- Electrical insulation for cables, connectors, switches, and electronic components.- Hydraulic systems operating in severe conditions or near ignition sources.- Protection of metal parts during long-term storage, transport, and machining.- Instrumentation fill fluid for gauges, pressure sensors, and diaphragm seals.- Barrier fluid for mechanical seals.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Aerospace/Defense- Chemical Industry- Energy (including Nuclear, Oil & Gas, Cryogenics, Power Generation)- Electrical Services or Products- LED/Electronics- General Manufacturing- Government & Military- Medical Device/Prosthetics (including Pharmaceutical)- Metal Fabrication- Petroleum Industry, Products or Services
Special and Unique Features
- Flame Resistant / Non-flammable: Specifically formulated to avoid flame propagation and difficult to ignite, reducing fire hazards.- Corrosion Resistant: Provides exceptional protection against rust, oxidation, and degradation from harsh substances.- Long Lasting Lubrication: Ensures extended performance under harsh acidic and hot conditions.- Chemically Inert and Non-reactive: Stable in chemical and oxygen services, compatible with strong oxidizing agents like chlorine, oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, and red fuming nitric acid.- High Thermal Stability: Operates effectively in a wide temperature range, with thermal stability between 300° and 600°F (150° - 315°C) depending on conditions.- Low Permeability: Ensures minimal gas loss in cryogenic applications.- Excellent Electrical Insulation Properties: Suitable for high voltage and maintaining electrical integrity.
Key Properties
- Composition: PCTFE (Polychlorotrifluoroethylene) Fluoropolymer Oil.- Appearance: Clear, colorless.- Non-flammable.- Chemically inert and non-reactive.- Excellent chemical resistance, especially to strong oxidants, acids, and bases.- High thermal stability (300° to 600°F / 150° - 315°C).- Low water vapor transmission rate.- Good dielectric properties / electrical resistance.- Good resistance to cold flow and dimensional stability.- Available in multiple viscosities.- Hydrogen-free.
Surface Compatibility
- Compatible with most metals, plastics, and elastomers.- Specifically noted for use on metals and metallic surfaces.- Caution: Do not use on copper, aluminum, or magnesium parts when heavy friction or galling are possible, as detonation can occur with reactive metals free of their oxide coating in confined spaces and under heavy loads or high pressure.- May react violently with sodium and potassium metals, amines, hydrazine, liquid fluorine, and liquid chlorine trifluoride.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Halocarbon's InfinX MRO PCTFE oils (e.g., InfinX MRO 4.2 and 6.3 as alternatives to Fluorolube FS-5).- PFPE (Perfluoropolyether) greases and oils.- PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) based lubricants (though PCTFE offers advantages in some areas).- Polyol ester (POE)-based synthetic oils for fire resistance.- Water-glycol based fire-resistant hydraulic fluids.- High-performance polymers like PEEK and DuPont™ Vespel® for cryogenic valve seats, especially due to PCTFE supply chain disruptions.- Poly Methyl Urea (PMU) based additives as PTFE alternatives in lubricants.
Comparison Note
FLUOROLUBE Oils, being PCTFE fluoropolymer oils, offer a unique combination of non-flammability, exceptional chemical inertness, and high thermal stability, making them superior to conventional lubricants in extremely hazardous and corrosive environments. While alternatives like PFPE and other fire-resistant fluids exist, PCTFE stands out for its specific balance of properties, particularly its resistance to strong oxidizers and suitability for cryogenic applications.
