Oxygen sliding agent meets stipulations

A Kluber Lubrication GB product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Mar 24, 2006

Oxygen sliding agent for extreme pressures can safely handle applications in valves, fittings or systems that carry oxygen.

There are two things that define the good characteristics of an oxygen sliding agent: it must never react with the medium, as this would otherwise impair the function of the fittings and valves involved; and the product has to remain aloof even when faced with high oxygen pressures or pressure surges.

Kluber Lubrication meets both these stipulations with Oxigenoex FF 450, an oxygen sliding agent for extreme pressures.

Molecular oxygen is an aggressive, explosion-friendly gas, which is why contact with conventional lubricants must be avoided.

Only sliding agents can safely handle applications in valves, fittings or systems that carry oxygen.

The German Federal Agency for Material Research and Testing (BAM) recently confirmed an operating temperature of up to 60C, and a maximum oxygen pressure of up to 450bar for Kluber's product.

Users of the product benefit from the high performance reserves in terms of oxygen pressure surge resistance.

Its resistance to gaseous chemicals and the low evaporation rates of all its constituents suit many applications.

The pressure absorption capacity and consistent friction coefficients ensure constant actuating forces in operation.

Production and tailoring of the sliding agent are subject to purity stipulations.

Each consignment is accompanied by a batch-referenced BAM certificate for pressure surge resistance.
