·APPLICATIONS
BALD®FT-100Fluid is typically used as a lubricating oil in vacuum
pumps handling reactive gases; in high- and low-temperature bearings; in bearings subjected to washing by fuels or solvents; in vapor cycle engines, such as those handling steam orFreon®1; and as a base fluid for thickening greases.
Mechanical Vacuum Pumps
Besides giving excellent lubricity,BALD®FT-100Fluid resists breakdown and sludge formation caused by trace amounts of reactive chemicals such as acids, bases and halogens. This oil’s stability at elevated temperatures and good film strength protect vacuum pumps from chemical corrosion or wear. Because this fluid is insoluble in water, any moisture entering the pump system will be purged without affecting the pumping characteristics or causing corrosion.
Porous Bronze Bearings
BALD®FT-100Fluid is used to lubricate small, lightly loaded porous bronze bearings. Besides excellent lubricity, it provides superior wear life, stability from -40 to 204°C (-40 to 400°F) and resists degradation by corrosive chemicals.
DESCRIPTION
BALD®FT-100Fluid is a fluorosilicone oil for lubricating steel and bronze under severe environmental conditions. It offers:
• Outstanding lubricity even in the presence of harsh chemicals and fuels
• Excellent fire, flash and oxidation resistance
• A high viscosity index; relatively flat viscosity-temperature curve
• Good film adherence
• Reduced maintenance costs
• Increased safety from fires and explosions
• Reduced process contamination
In addition,BALD®FT-100Fluid is insoluble in water, most fuels, oils and solvents, and is compatible with most elastomers. It is available in viscosities of 300, 1000 and 10,000 centistokes.

Chemical Resistance
BALD®FT-100Fluid resists degradation by acids and acidic hydrogen gases; water, aqueous salts, steam and ozone; hydrocarbons; hydrogen chloride, chlorine and other chlorinated hydrocarbons;Freon, ammonia and hydrogen sulfide. It resists the washing action of such gases as methyl chloride and methane, and it minimizes oil contamination in such gases as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, argon and other industrial gases.
