Halocarbon Inert Lubricants
Halocarbon oils, greases and waxes are polychlorotrifluoroethylenes (PCTFE), which are
chemically inert and nonflammable lubricants with high thermal stability, good lubricity,
high dielectric strength and low compressibility. Halocarbon was the first to commercially
produce PCTFE-based lubricants over 60 years ago.
We offer a wide range of oils, greases and waxes to meet industries' needs. The inertness
of our lubricant is required for the safe handling of highly reactive and/or aggressive
chemicals like oxygen, chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, sulfur trioxide and nitric acid. This
unique chemistry can also provide advantage in many other applications from lab-scale
to the production plant.
