Development of a soluble lubricity additive for perfluoropolyalkylether fluids

Sashi K. Sharma, Lois J. Gschwender, Carl E. Snyder

Abstract

Abstract A new lubricity additive for perfluoropolyalkylether (PFPAE) fluids was synthesized. A linear, unbranched fluid formulated with this additive was evaluated under boundary lubrication and elastohydrodynamic (EHD) lubrications. Performance of the base fluid imporved significantly with the incorporation of this additive.
