FRAGOL barrier fluids are used as a physical barrier between process fluids and system boundaries, allowing the process fluid to develop its chemical and physical properties unhindered. At the same time, FRAGOL barrier fluids protect the sealing materials used and ensure the process fluid is sealed from the atmosphere. Pipe walls, sealing materials, and storage vessels are both lubricated and protected from corrosion.
FRAGOL barrier fluids are also used to prevent leaks and contamination.
FRAGOL BARRIER FLUID 32
This is just one example from our barrier fluids product range – all of which have demonstrated long-term reliability in real-world applications. It stands as a representative of our broad portfolio, which we continuously refine and expand. In line with FRAGOL’s commitment to delivering state-of-the-art, high-performance, and application-driven solutions. FRAGOL BARRIER FLUID 32 is a low-viscosity product made from synthetic materials. Its excellent chemical stability and compatibility make it ideal for use as a barrier and buffer fluid for mechanical seals in rotating equipment. This barrier fluid is used in pressure transmission devices and precision and measuring instruments. FRAGOL BARRIER FLUID 32 is approved for use with AERZENER GM150 SX blowers. Our authorised distributors are available at any time to provide tailored advice or assist with specific orders. They also support you in selecting the most suitable product – precisely matched to your individual requirements. |
Selection criteria for barrier fluids are:
- Chemical compatibility with process fluid and sealing materials
- Sufficient lubricating properties for sliding surface lubrication
- Appropriate viscosity for optimum performance
- High specific heat and thermal conductivity for efficient heat transfer
- Low volatility to minimise evaporation and frequent refilling
- Minimised gas solubility to avoid bubble formation
- Long-term stability and degradation resistance
- Special requirements such as H1 registration (barrier fluids for food industry)
Our FRAGOL barrier fluids are compatible with all common lubricants and offer a wide range of applications. Please be sure to discuss the use of the barrier fluid with our technicians prior to use.
After determining the system parameters, the lubrication technician (or tribologist) can use various lubricant compositions to select a lubricant that optimizes the application's performance. Since each chemical composition has its own advantages and disadvantages, selecting the correct composition is critical to meeting the system's tribological parameters.
Do you require lubricants as tailor-made products or private label products?
The research and development (R&D) department at FRAGOL is at the heart of our innovative strength. This enables us to meet your specific lubricant requirements as an individual customer. With decades of experience in developing high-quality lubricants, supporting field tests and conducting in-depth analyses, we create solutions that meet the highest standards.
