AVF 60 Gold Oil Description
AVF 60 Gold oil have superior features;

Reduced deposits, thanks to the absence of heavy metals
(ashless);

Odorless;

Exceptional lubricating properties and protection against the
most common solvents, and high oxidation resistance;

High anti-emulsifying power with water;

Minimal variations in viscosity according to temperature;

Very low volatility (vapor tension) and thus suitable for use on
high vacuum pumps;

Resistance to aging under the effect of atmospheric agents (ozone,
water, light);

Chemical and physiological inertia of primary importance, and
extremely high anti-emulsifying properties.
This special type of oil is suitable for use in environments containing
noble or inert gases.
The AVF 60 Gold oil described is combustible. If during normal use
the vacuum pump should take in mixtures with an oxygen content
greater than 21 % or pure oxygen, this should cause:

Oxidation of the oil and thus the loss of its lubricating properties,
with serious damage to the pump itself;

Formation of conditions favorable to explosion in the pump tank.
