      Did you know? Under some extremely harsh environmental conditions, ordinary lubricants may soon fail, but there is a kind of oil that can still maintain excellent performance, which is perfluoropolyether oil. Today, let's talk about the things about perfluoropolyether oil in extreme environments. High temperature environment, easy to deal with In high temperature environment, perfluoropolyether oil shows extraordinary stability. Generally speaking, it can continue to work at temperatures up to 250℃ or even 300℃, and its performance is almost unaffected. In contrast, ordinary lubricants may quickly oxidize and decompose at such high temperatures and lose their lubricating effect. This is because the molecular structure of perfluoropolyether oil is very special, its chemical bond energy is very strong, and it is not easily destroyed by high temperature. Therefore, in some high-temperature industrial production processes, such as aircraft engines, steel smelting, etc., perfluoropolyether oil has become an indispensable lubricant.
 
        Low temperature environment, no fear Not only does it perform well at high temperatures, perfluoropolyether oil is also reliable in low temperature environments. It has a very low pour point and viscosity-temperature characteristics, and can still maintain good fluidity and lubrication properties even at temperatures of dozens of degrees below zero. This makes it widely used in mechanical equipment in some cold regions, polar scientific research equipment and other fields. Ordinary lubricants tend to become viscous or even solidify at low temperatures and cannot play a normal lubricating role.


      Chemical corrosion, tenacious resistance In some highly corrosive chemical environments, perfluoropolyether oil can also "stay alone". It hardly reacts with any chemical substances, whether it is strong acid, strong alkali or various organic solvents, it is difficult to damage it. This makes it favored in some special equipment in the chemical, pharmaceutical and other industries. For example, in some chemical reactors, perfluoropolyether oil can effectively protect the running parts of the equipment and extend the service life of the equipment.


       High-pressure environment, stable and reliable In high-pressure environments, perfluoropolyether oil can also maintain stable performance. Its compressibility is very low, and it is not easy to be compressed and deformed even under high pressure, thus ensuring good lubrication. This makes it have important applications in some high-pressure hydraulic systems, deep-sea equipment and other fields.
In general, perfluoropolyether oil performs extremely well in extreme environments due to its unique molecular structure and excellent performance. It provides reliable lubrication for various equipment operating under harsh conditions and is an indispensable and important material in modern industrial production.

Perfluoropolyether grease has excellent high temperature resistance, chemical corrosion resistance and wear resistance, and is often used in extreme environments (such as aerospace, semiconductor equipment, precision instruments, etc.). However, if it is found to be too viscous during use, it may affect the lubrication effect or equipment operation. The following is a detailed analysis and treatment method for its "too sticky" problem:


Analysis of the reasons for excessive viscosity
1. Improper selection of base oil viscosity: The viscosity of perfluoropolyether grease is determined by the viscosity of the base oil (perfluoropolyether). If the viscosity grade of the selected base oil is too high (such as ISO viscosity grade greater than 460), it will show obvious stickiness at room temperature.
2. Excessive thickener content: The content of thickener (such as polytetrafluoroethylene PTFE) in the grease is too high, which will increase the overall viscosity (such as NLGI grade exceeding No. 2), and thus appear more viscous.
3. The operating temperature is too low: The optimal operating temperature of perfluoropolyether grease is usually -20℃~260℃. If the ambient temperature is lower than its applicable lower limit, the fluidity of the base oil decreases, which will cause the grease to thicken.
4. Contamination or deterioration: After the grease comes into contact with water, dust or chemical media, the structure may change, resulting in an abnormal increase in viscosity.

Specific treatment methods
1. Adjust the use environment or increase the temperature under working conditions: If the viscosity is caused by low temperature, the grease can be restored to fluidity by preheating the equipment or increasing the ambient temperature. Reduce the load or speed: High-viscosity grease may increase friction under high-speed or heavy-load conditions. The operating intensity of the equipment can be temporarily reduced to observe whether the viscosity affects the performance.
2. Dilution treatment (caution required) Use special diluent: Perfluoropolyether grease needs to be diluted with fluorinated solvents, and avoid using ordinary organic solvents (such as ethanol, acetone) to prevent damage to the grease structure. Note: Dilution may shorten the lubrication life of the grease. It is only suitable for temporary adjustments, and it is recommended to operate under the guidance of professionals.
3. Replace the appropriate type of grease to reduce the viscosity of the base oil: choose a perfluoropolyether grease with a lower viscosity grade. Adjust the consistency grade: reduce the NLGI grade from No. 2 to No. 1 or No. 0, the consistency is softer and the fluidity is better. Consult the supplier: provide the equipment operating conditions (temperature, load, speed) and the existing grease model, and professionals will recommend the appropriate product.

Precautions
Avoid mixing: Mixing perfluoropolyether grease with other types of grease (such as lithium-based grease and silicone-based grease) may cause structural damage and aggravate the viscosity problem.
Safety protection: Wear gloves and protective tools during operation and operate in a well-ventilated environment.
Performance test: After any adjustment, the fluidity, lubrication effect and equipment operating temperature of the grease must be tested on a small range of equipment first, and then fully applied after confirming that there is no abnormality.

In the daily operation and maintenance of the heat setting machine, there is a key link that is often overlooked, but it plays a decisive role in the overall performance of the equipment, that is, the choice of bearing grease. Choosing the right grease can not only extend the service life of the equipment and reduce maintenance costs, but also ensure the efficiency and stability of production. If you choose the wrong one, you will be in big trouble.

There are many types of heat setting machine bearing grease on the market, which is dazzling. Among them, grease made of silicone oil was once very popular because it does have a certain high temperature resistance. But in actual use, there are many problems. In the high temperature environment of the heat setting machine, silicone oil grease will produce a lot of carbon deposits. These carbon deposits adhere to the inside of the equipment, like a layer of insulation, which seriously affects the heat conduction efficiency, makes the equipment "uncomfortable", and greatly reduces the performance. Moreover, cleaning carbon deposits is a dirty and tiring job, which takes a lot of time and energy, the equipment downtime becomes longer, and the maintenance cost rises sharply, which is really not worth the loss. Ordinary synthetic grease is not much better. Although the price is relatively affordable, it has a short service life and is also prone to carbon deposits at high temperatures, which cannot meet the demanding requirements of long-term stable operation of the heat setting machine. Frequent replacement of grease not only increases the maintenance workload, but may also cause bearing wear and equipment failure due to insufficient lubrication.


So, is there a perfect solution? The answer is yes, that is perfluoropolyether grease. With its excellent high-temperature stability, it has become the only choice for heat setting machine bearing lubrication. Under the high-temperature working conditions of the heat setting machine, perfluoropolyether grease can remain stable, will not decompose, volatilize, and will not produce carbon deposits. This means that it can provide continuous and reliable lubrication protection for bearings, greatly extend the service life of bearings, reduce the risk of equipment failure and downtime, and save a lot of costs for enterprises in the long run.
