Chemical compound
Perfluoropolyether (PFPE) is a type of synthetic liquid lubricant that has been used in the aerospace industry for over 30 years.[2] The main properties of PFPE are being temperature resistant between −58 °C (215 K) and 257 °C (530 K) (depending on specific composites), having very low outgassing compared to other fluids (vapour pressure of 6×10−8 Torr) and having a dielectric strength of around 15.7 MV/m.[3]
Perfluoropolyether consists of a polymer chain in which monomers consisting of perfluoro-alkyl groups are joined by ether linkages. The bonds between carbon and oxygen or fluorine are strong.[4] Perfluoropolyethers are a type of PFAS.[5]
The thermal and chemical stability of PFPE along with a vapor–liquid equilibrium of 230 °C when mixed with the right composites make it a suitable candidate for vapor phase soldering technologies.[6]
