Abstract

Cyclic phosphazenes are being developed as advanced lubricant additives for both rigid and flexible thin film magnetic media. Contact Start-Stop (CSS) test results with X-1P as an additive with perfluorinated polyalkylethers (PFPAEs) show it to have similar tribological performance to standard perfluoropolyalkyl ethers (PFPAE) as a topical lubricant on carbon-overcoated thin film rigid disks under ambient conditions. However, X-1P as an additive with PFPAE's significantly outperforms Z-DOL and AM3001in CSS testing under hot/wet (30°C, 80 RH) conditions. In addition to its CSS test performance, X-1P as an additive was found to stabilize the PFPAE when heated in the presence of water and standard slider material, Al 2O 3–TiC.
