ESR Technology / Insights / ESTL contributes to “Development of novel lubricant formulation for cleanroom and vacuum application” Article published in Scientific Reports

ESR Technology is proud to share that at our ESTL (European Space Tribology Laboratory) experts have contributed, along with ESA, Materials GmbH and Kompetenzzentrum Tribologie Mannheim, to the recently published article in Scientific Reports:

“Development of novel lubricant formulation for cleanroom and vacuum application”

Read the full article here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-97285-9

This study addresses the unique challenges of lubrication in contamination-sensitive environments such as cleanrooms and vacuum systems, which are critical in industries like semiconductor manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and aerospace.

Key highlights of the research include:

Understanding the impact of vacuum and cleanroom conditions on lubricant performance.
Developing a comprehensive methodology for lubricant formulation tailored to contamination-sensitive applications.
Implementing rigorous validation and qualification methods to ensure compliance with industry standards.

For those interested in the intersection of materials science and high-tech industrial applications, this publication offers valuable insights into the development of specialised lubricants for critical environments.

CABARET v3194 Update is Available

CABARET, ESTL’s own bearing analysis software, having its roots in rocket engine turbopump development (hence its name – Code for Analysis of BeArings in Rocket Engine Turbopumps), has a 35-year history of serving the specific analysis requirements of the European space industry, with the funding and support of the European Space Agency (ESA[M).

Impact of Upcoming PFAS Restrictions on Spacecraft Lubricants

For many decades, spacecraft mechanisms have relied heavily on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Perfluoropolyether (PFPE) lubricants, PTFE-thickened greases and fluorinated solvents have become the industry’s trusted “heritage” materials, enabling reliable operation across extreme temperatures and hostile space environments. However, this long-established position is beginning to change.

Investigation of Lubricant Transfer Film Formation using the VMTM

At the European Space Tribology Laboratory (ESTL), we recently assessed two widely used self-lubricating materials, PGM-HT and its newer replacement TECASINT 8591, under representative vacuum conditions using our Vacuum Mini Traction Machine (VMTM).
