Fluorochemicals and Inert Oils
By Jordan Travis
The use of fluorochemicals has a big part to play in the manufacturing of inert oils. Many people, however, do not even know what inert oils are. Despite this unfamiliarity with inert oils, they have a lot of applications within our society, helping to keep everything running, literally.
Fluorochemicals are used in most inert oils to provide the right type of chemical compounds needed for the inert oil applications. This is because Fluorine, which is the ninth element, can bond with nearly any other chemical in the periodic table, helping to create many interesting forms of chemicals that are used throughout the world.
Inert oils are used a great deal in the automotive industry. Engine oils, transmission fluid, gearbox fluid, brake fluids and even hydraulic fluids are all inert oils and without fluorochemicals, the transportation industry and our society would completely come to a halt. A car can’t run without engine oil, and engine oil needs fluorochemicals to work properly. The reason that inert oils are used so extensively in the industry of automotives is because they have a very low reactivity to heat, which makes them safe in engines that reach very high temperatures while in operation.
Industrial applications also use inert oil because of its low reactivity to heat. Inert oils are perfect for motors, gas turbines, bearing systems, compressors and anywhere else that there needs to be lubrication to keep moving parts from seizing up under extreme temperatures. Since the heat is so high in these applications, the oils that are used need to be as inert as possible. The fluorochemicals that are manufactured by Halocarbon are some of the top inert oils on the market.
Even the aeronautic, aviation and marine industries need inert oils with fluorochemicals in them. In fact, if a machine has moving parts, then it needs inert oils to reduce friction, heat, wear and tear.
