Description
Apiezon AP101 is a silicone-free, excellent general purpose, hydrocarbon grease, which is intended for a variety of industrial and scientific applications.
Apiezon AP101 is a specialist, anti-seize vacuum grease, containing PTFE, which confers superior anti-seize properties providing glass and metal surfaces with long-lasting lubrication and protection from fusing and corrosion.
Apiezon AP101 is a silicone-free anti-seize vacuum grease which:
- is ideally suited for use in low to medium vacuum ranges having a vapour pressure of <10-5 Torr at 20°C
- has anti-seize properties, making it an effective protector and lubricant for metal surfaces which may be subject to seizure or corrosion
- is a critical lubricant
- is insoluble in most solvents, is resistant to water, alcohols, ketones and esters
- resists attack from aqueous acid and alkali solutions, alcoholic alkali solutions and corrosive gases.
- is suitable for use over a wide temperature range
- does not suffer from contamination problems associated with silicone based greases such as ‘creep’ or ‘carry over’
- is easy to clean and remove using hot water and an aqueous glassware detergent or hydrocarbon solvents
Apiezon AP101 with its superior anti-seize properties is typically used to maintain the smooth operation of stopcocks and taps in scientific and industrial settings. Coupled with easy separation of ground or polished glass joints AP101 is an excellent general purpose grease for laboratory use.
The value of Apiezon AP101 anti-seize properties is not limited to laboratory or glassware use, but is equally effective when used on metal equipment which may be subject to seizure or corrosion. Just a small amount of AP101 on fastenings which, when exposed to corrosive environments would normally jam solid, will ensure they are protected.
Apiezon AP101 is an excellent general purpose grease for sealing joints and is ideal for use in critical lubrication conditions such as highly stressed bearings.
Being hydrocarbon based, Apiezon AP101 does not suffer from the problems of “creep” or “carry over” which is traditionally associated with silicone greases. It reduces sample contamination and consequently the risk of interference in analytical techniques such as infra-red and mass spectrometry. Additionally AP101 can be used with confidence in paint spraying and metal deposition processes.

Applications
Lubrication of glass and metal taps in vacuum systems
Sealing polymer joints in vacuum systems
Leak detection
Protecting metal contacts in vacuum-encapsulated relays
Sealing polished and ground glass/metal surfaces
Optical surfaces in vacuum systems and laser systems – does not cause clouding (L and M greases only)
Non vacuum uses include lubrication of glass and metal taps in laboratory, medical and industrial applications
Good “gettering” qualities (absorbs grease and chemical impurities) – ideal for electronics industry

Apiezon AP 101 is an excellent general purpose, hydrocarbon grease, which is intended for a variety of industrial and scientific applications.
The key features of AP 101 include the following:
Anti-seize properties
Critical lubricant
Non-silicone based
Contains micronized particles of PTFE
Solvent/chemical resistance
Wide temperature range
Apiezon AP 101 contains PTFE which confers superior anti-seize properties providing long-lasting lubrication and ensuring smooth operation of stop cocks and taps. Coupled with easy separation of ground or polished glass joints, AP 101 is an excellent general purpose grease for laboratory use.
The value of AP 101 anti-seize properties are not limited to laboratory or glassware use, but are equally effective when used on metal equipment which may be subject to seizure or corrosion.
A small amount of Apiezon AP 101 on fasteners which, when exposed to corrosive environments normally jam solid, will be protected thus allowing them to be effortlessly removed.
Non-silicone
Being hydrocarbon based, AP 101 does not suffer from the problems of “creep” or “carry over” which is traditionally associated with silicone greases. It reduces sample contamination and consequently the risk of interference in analytical techniques such as infra-red and mass spectrometry.
Additionally AP 101 can be used with confidence in paint spraying and metal deposition processes.
Solvent resistance
Both PTFE and the lithium stearate gel base in AP 101 are insoluble in most solvents. They ensure that AP 101 shows resistance to water, alcohols, ketones, and esters.
In addition, AP 101 resists attack from aqueous acid and alkali solutions, alcoholic alkali solutions and corrosive gases.
Wide temperature range
AP 101 is an excellent general purpose grease for sealing joints and is ideal for use in critical lubrication conditions such as highly stressed bearings. It can be used over a very wide range of temperatures, possessing its optimum consistency over the -15 to + 150 °C (+5 to 302 °F) temperature range, but is usable down to -40 °C (-40 °F) and for limited periods, up to + 180 °C (356 °F).
Under vacuum
Apiezon AP 101 exhibits good vacuum properties in the lower to medium vacuum range. Within the scope of its optimum working temperature, AP 101 can be used under vacuum conditions down to 10-4 torr.
Easily removed
Hydrocarbon or chlorinated solvents will remove AP101. We recommend d-limonene as a safer solvent.
The important point is that AP 101 works when you want it to, but is easily removed when you don’t!
Industry approvals
AP 101 is highly regarded within industry and has gained prestigious approvals from both Marconi Radar and NATO.
