Krytox High Performance Synthetic Lubricants
Extreme Conditions Require Extreme Performance
Krytox oils and greases are based on perfluoropolyether (PFPE) oils. This series of synthetic fluorinated lubricants are used in extreme conditions, such as high temperatures up to 204 °C (400 °F), and will survive short-term peak temperatures of up to 220 °C (429°F). Chemically inert and safe for use around hazardous chemicals, these lubricants are nonflammable and also safe for use in oxygen service. Krytox oils and greases do not damage plastics or elastomers, nor cause corrosion to metals. They are commonly used as lubricants in aerospace, automotive, industrial, and semiconductor applications, as well as in solving many other routine lubrication problems. In addition, they provide exceptionally long lifetimes in sealed-for-life bearings and extend re-lubrication intervals in bearings that require re-lubrication.
Biologically Inert While Retaining High Temperature and Pressure Stability
Krytox oils and greases are silicone free. They do not contain any VOC materials or chlorine, and are not hazardous to the atmosphere or ozone layer. They are biologically and environmentally inert.
The fully fluorinated Krytox high-temperature stability provides bottom-line savings from improved reliability, and a reduction in grease usage and manpower through extended re-lubrication intervals. Excellent film strength reduces wear to reduce maintenance costs. Under high loads, the viscosity increases to provide support and absorb the pressure.
A Multitude of Applications
For those who regularly manage lubrication issues, every day is a fight against the forces of excess friction, vibration and wear. Krytox oils, greases and solvents offer advanced lubricant solutions for a broad variety of industrial applications including: bearings and sintering bearings, electric motors, functional fluids, gearboxes, extreme temperatures, o-rings, seals, and valves.
