Professional Perfluoropolyether Oil

Perfluoropolyether oil (PFPE), as a kind of polymer, is a colorless, odorless and transparent liquid at room temperature, and its preparation is accomplished by the polymerization of perfluorinated monomers. According to the different monomers used and polymerization methods, four types of PFPE with different molecular structures can be obtained: K-type, Y-type, Z-type, and D-type.


According to the type of products, PFPE oil can be divided into two types: branched chain and straight chain, which are further subdivided into K-type and Y-type for branched chain. Most of the PFPE oils produced nowadays are of these two types.



The straight chain type can be divided into Z (M) type and D type. These two kinds of fluorine oils have high molecular weight and have better high temperature resistance and evaporation resistance. Under the high temperature environment of 149℃, the oil with slightly higher viscosity among them has almost no evaporation loss after 22 hours. However, these two types of production process is complicated, the production process is more dangerous, in the event of decomposition, it will produce extremely toxic substances, a little carelessness will cause serious consequences. Therefore, the price of perfluoropolyether oil circulating in the market now is not expensive.


You Bang Shou PFPE lubricant has the same performance as imported brands, superior quality, but with price advantage, now many PFPE lubricant series have been well received by customers.

During a conversation with Factory Manager Zhang, a Jialede sales manager learned that one of his factory's PCB baking tunnel ovens was experiencing chain lubrication issues. The manager recommended the company's YBS-1103 perfluoropolyether oil. The equipment uses three rows of large roller chains and operates in a high-temperature environment of 80°C. Zhang previously faced numerous issues using liquid lubricants:

The machine's automatic lubricator struggled to accurately control the amount of oil injected.


The oil easily leaked onto the floor, causing waste and pollution.


The lubricant had specific requirements: low volatility and long-lasting lubrication, requiring no re-lubrication for six months to a year. Furthermore, the company sought to avoid dust generation from drying solid lubricants or rapid drying of liquid lubricants.

After a detailed discussion with laboratory technicians, the Jialede product manager and laboratory technicians, considering the customer's equipment operating conditions—consistent operation at 80°C, demanding chain lubrication, low volatility requirements, and long lubrication intervals—decided to recommend YBS-1103 perfluoropolyether lubricant. Laboratory validation data showed that YBS-1103 fully met the technical requirements for this application scenario. Factory Manager Zhang, upon repurchasing the product, stated that it not only met the performance requirements for low volatility and long-lasting lubrication, but also effectively reduced lubricant loss for the factory, truly achieving cost reduction and increased efficiency.


The Jialede team, leveraging its extensive experience, provided Factory Manager Zhang with an efficient and reliable lubrication solution precisely tailored to the client's needs through a single phone call and combined with laboratory test data. To date, Jialede has successfully solved fluorine chemical application challenges for 5,879 companies, achieving its service goal of "one-time success" through professional selection advice.

Recently, Jialede received an inquiry from Ms. Zhao, a Shanghai-based instrument technology development company. She specifically requested a perfluoropolyether oil with a kinematic viscosity of approximately 1000 cSt to wipe the exterior surfaces of metal chambers before microwave digestion experiments to protect the instrument and improve experimental stability.

During the conversation, we learned that the client had previously considered Solvay Fluorolink M100 and had a clear preference for this viscosity grade. She emphasized that fluorocarbon oil does not directly participate in the digestion reaction; rather, it acts as a lubricant and protective coating before the experiment, preventing wear and residual contamination on metal jaws and other surfaces during high-frequency experiments.

Jialede responded promptly to this request. We not only identified a perfluoropolyether oil model within our existing product portfolio that met the client's requirements, but also recommended a solution more suitable for their application. The client had previously purchased a 500g sample of Jialede YBS-1106 on September 23rd and was very impressed with our product's performance. This time, in response to the customer's desire for a small-batch trial, we provided a 500ml sample of fluoro oil to ensure they could conduct verification under real-world operating conditions.


Jialede's strength lies not only in providing fluoro oil that meets specifications, but also in our ability to fully understand the customer's experimental application scenarios and quickly match the appropriate product model. With years of experience in high-end lubrication and specialized applications, we are well aware of the high demands for stability and reliability in scientific research instruments. This collaboration further demonstrates our professional approach to rapidly responding to customer needs. Going forward, we will continue to collaborate with more research institutions and laboratory equipment companies to provide customized fluoro oil and lubrication solutions.
