Kreatos PFL 15
A PFPE-based precision oil for the specialty applications that need PFPE chemistry in liquid form. Thinner than the PFG range, for bearings, instruments, and mechanisms where an oil is the right choice but PFPE is required.
What it is
PFL 15 is the oil-form counterpart to the PFG grease range. Where PFG 20 and PFG 0 give you PFPE in grease consistency, PFL 15 gives you PFPE in a flowable oil. Use it where you would use a precision oil but the operating environment requires PFPE chemistry. High temperature, chemical exposure, oxygen compatibility (validate first), or applications where extreme service life justifies the cost.
Best for
- Precision bearings in chemically aggressive environments
- Instruments and lab equipment
- High-temperature oil-lubricated mechanisms
- Specialty engineering applications
- Vacuum-compatible mechanisms (validate first)
- Applications where PFPE oil is specifically required
What it does well
- PFPE chemistry for chemical inertness
- Extreme thermal stability
- Long service life
- Clean, low-migration oil film
- Compatible with most plastics, rubbers, and metals
Notes: For most maker applications, SPR 30 is the right precision oil. PFL 15 is for cases where the application specifically requires PFPE chemistry. Validate compatibility for vacuum or oxygen-sensitive applications before use.
