Overview
Krytox™ 1506XP is a highly engineered PFPE-based oil for use in vacuum pump systems where traditional lubricants cause safety, waste disposal, or maintenance concerns. Krytox™ 1506XP vacuum pump fluid (VPF) delivers exceptional performance with nonflammable and nonreactive chemistry for chemical and oxygen service applications.
Krytox™ 1506XP Oil has a viscosity of 15.5 cSt at 50°C and is distilled for lower operating temperature ranges. Krytox™ 1506XP has been formulated with oil-soluble additives to prevent and protect equipment from rust and corrosion.

Applications
Krytox™ 1506XP is engineered for premium lubrication and protection for a range of vacuum pump applications where rust and corrosion are problematic.
While Krytox™ VPF fluids are inert and nonreactive to all elastomers, plastics, and metals, the soluble additives in Krytox™ XP lubricants have not been tested with all materials. Initial testing has shown no problems with Teflon™ fluoroplastic resin, Kalrez® perfluoroelastomer parts, or Viton™ fluoroelastomer, nitrile, and silicone rubbers. The performance of the soluble additives could degrade over a long period at temperatures more than 182°C (360°F).
