GBR Technology Limited - Vacuum Fluids

VACUUM PRODUCTS

» MECHANICAL PUMP FLUIDS

All pump manufacturers recommend their own brand of pump fluids which in the majority of cases they buy in from a lubricant manufacturer. GBR offers a comprehensive series of equivalents and alternatives which are not only based on the required viscosity for the pump but also accommodate the various processes and conditions that the pump maybe handling.
Our experienced technical staff can discuss individual process problems, have degraded oils analysed, and suggest suitable solutions.

»	Refined Hydrocarbon Oils - for pumping air and non aggressive elements
»	Technical White Mineral Oils – for exposure to certain corrosive and reactive gases.
»	Triple Hydrotreated Mineral Oils - have hydrophobic properties so can handle high levels of water vapour without emulsification.
»	Food Grade White Oils – where direct or indirect contact with food specifies a pharmaceutical grade.
»	Fully Synthetic Fluids – for thermal stability in aggressive environments.
»	Perfluorinated Fluids (PFPE) – for full chemical resistance and high oxygen content processes

» DIFFUSION PUMP FLUIDS

Your choice of fluid will depend on the application and the ultimate vacuum pressure your process requires. GBR offers both manufacturers’ and our own branded products.

»	Silicones – the most popular fluids offering a wide range of pressures.
»	Hydrocarbons – A cost effective group of fluids. Ideal for vapour booster pumps.
»	Polyphenyl Ethers – Thermally and chemically stable for UHV applications.

» VACUUM GREASES

We stock a comprehensive range of greases all designed to have a low vapour pressure to work in vacuum environments including the popular Apiezon and Dow Corning products.
