Description
Castrol Brayco™ 1720 Series oils are clear, colorless low molecular weight perfluoroether oils. They are inert to virtually
all chemicals and safe to use in direct contact with oxidants such as LOX/GOX and chlorine. Castrol Brayco® 1720 Series
Oils are non-flammable and non-toxic. Castrol Fluoroclean™ X100 and Castrol Fluoroclean™ HE can be used to
remove these lubricants.
Application
Castrol Brayco®1720 Series Oils are suitable for use as gear, pump and general purpose lubricating oils where direct or
indirect contact with aggressive chemicals, oxidants and low temperatures are routine. They can also be used as vacuum
pump oils in operations requiring vapor pressures as low as 10-4 torr. Perfluorinated fluids in general exhibit excellent
shelf lives due to their intrinsic inertness.
Operating Temperature Ranges :-
Castrol Brayco®1721 -54°C to 93°C (-65°F to 200°F)
Castrol Brayco®1722 -34°C to 149°C (-30°F to 300°F)
Castrol Brayco®1723 -34°C to 163°C (-30°F to 325°F)
Castrol Brayco®1724 -29°C to 177°C (-20°F to 350°F)
Limitations :-
Castrol Brayco® 1720 Series oils are compatible with all commonly used materials, plastics and elastomers. Castrol
Brayco® 1720 Series oils may be adversely affected by Lewis Acid catalysts such as AlCl3 at elevated temperatures.
Newly exposed surfaces of aluminum, magnesium and titanium may react with Castrol Brayco®1720 Series oils under
certain conditions. Such systems should be thoroughly evaluated before using this product. Surfaces should also be free
of organic rust inhibitors prior to oil application to ensure proper lubrication.
