These fluids have a broad range of properties and meet government SNAP approval for ozone depletion and global warming. Among the many applications for these fluids are:
Carrier fluids - DuPont™ Vertrel® specialty fluids are ideal replacements for PFC's in carrier fluid/lubricant deposition applications, especially in the hard disk drive and medical device industries:
o Medical parts coating o Hard disk drive coatings and lubricants o Dry lubing o Lubing with Krytox oil o Automotive anti-squeak o Conformal coating
Cleaning and Drying - Developed with both performance and the invironment in mind, DuPont™ Vertrel® specialty fluids are used for a wide variety of cleaning applications. Due to their unique combination of properties, DuPont™ Vertrel® specialty fluids are an excellent drying solution after aqueous cleaning, eliminating the problems that commonly occur with oven drying, hot air knife drying or tumble drying.
o Optics o Electronic components o Medical components o Optical disks o Hard disk drives
Heat Transfer - DuPont™ Vertrel® specialty fluids offer a convenient and affordable solution to meet the complex challenges of heat transfer applications. Their low boiling point (55°C/131°F) and thermal stability guarantee continued effectiveness over several boiling cycles.
o Ion implanters o Electronic test equipment o Computers
Testing - As a testing fluid, DuPont™ Vertrel® is used for a wide range of applications, including fingerprint extraction, wastewater analysis and virus extraction. The properties that make it ideal for these kinds of applications are its materials compatability, non-flammability, fast evaporation and good solubility of deposition fluids.
Vertrel®Specialty Solvents Specialty fluids are a family of hydrofluorocarbon based solvents with "zero" ozone depletion and low global warming potential, ideal for cleaning bearings before lubricating with Krytox, and for cleaning Krytox off of old bearings.
