Abstract: A method of forming a lubricating film on a surface, comprising applying to a surface a multiphasic composition comprising at least one (per)fluoropolyether (PFPE) lubricant, water and from 0.1 to 3% by weight of water of at least one thickening agent, said multiphasic composition having a viscosity, when measured at 21° C. at a shear rate of 1 sec?1 of at least 10 Pa×sec so as to form a layer, and drying said layer to form a lubricating film. The Applicant has found that by the use of the multiphasic composition as above detailed it is advantageously possible to convey to surface to be lubricated the PFPE lubricant by using application techniques (doctor blade, metering rod, . . . ) as those suitable for solid-like greases, while the actual conveyed lubricant behaves in lubrication as an oil, avoiding the use of fluorinated solvents.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a lubricant composition comprising: (A) at least one non-functional (per)fluoropolyether oil (PFPE oil) comprising at least one (per)fluoropolyoxyalkylene chain (chain RF); (B) at least one cyclic phosphazene compound [compound (P)] comprising one or more cyclic moieties having formula (I) or (II) here below: said cyclic moieties comprising, bound to one or more phosphorus atoms, at least one substituent comprising at least one (per)fluoropolyoxyalkylene chain (chain R?F); (C) at least one functional (per)fluoropolyether derivative (functional PFPE derivative) different from compound (P) comprising at least one (per)fluoropolyoxyalkylene chain (chain R?F) and at least one functional group comprising at least one monocyclic or polycyclic aromatic ring, said aromatic ring optionally containing one or more heteroatoms selected from N, O and S and one or more substituents different from hydrogen atoms.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for reducing the back migration of the most volatile fractions of perfluoropolyethers during the operation of mechanical vaccum-generating pumps which utilize perfluoropolyethers: use is made of perfluoropolyethers containing not more than 0.1% by weight of fractions having a molecular weight lower than or equal to 1,500 and not more than 1.3% by weight of fractions having a molecular weight lower than or equal to 1,800.
