The slideshow below illustrates how the Fomblin chain of lubricants such as Z-dol and Z-tetraol undergoes a scission process catalyzed by a Lewis acid (electron deficient) site generated on the slider surface.
During the past decade and a half, disk lubricants based on perfluoropolyethers challenged us incessantly with issues which required understanding of chemistry at the very basic level.
