Krytox™ High-Performance Lubricants Product Guide

Lubricants for the Most Demanding Applications

Made only from fluorine, carbon, and oxygen atoms, Krytox™ perfluoropolyether (PFPE) lubricants are chemically inert, non-toxic, and nonflammable. Krytox™ oils and greases provide superior quality lubrication under extreme conditions, including operating ranges from -73 to 360 °C (-99 to 680 °F). Krytox™ lubricants offer superior value because:

Smaller amounts of lubricant are needed to produce effective results
They require less maintenance
Downtime is reduced significantly
Performance Lubricants Provide the Solution You Need

Various industries have different requirements for the greases and oils they need to keep parts lubricated and equipment running without disruptions. Chemours offers a family series of Krytox™ performance lubricants to meet these specific needs.

The products within the Krytox™ family series include different grades of lubricants that deliver distinct viscosity, performance, temperature and chemical resistance, and temperature ranges. In this way, every application can have a lubricant perfectly matched to the conditions under which its equipment operates.

The Krytox™ lubricants family series include:

Aerospace Greases and Oils
Automotive (AUT) Greases
Gearbox Greases and Oils
General-Purpose Lubricants (GPL)
Low Vapor Pressure (LVP) and Vacuum Pump Fluid (VPF) Lubricants
Non-Reactive (NRT) Greases
Corrugator (CORR) Greases
Extreme High Temperature (XHT) Greases and Oils
Extreme Performance (XP) Greases and Oils
Fluoroguard™ Polymer Additives
Special Application Lubricants

KRYTOX PFPE OILS & GREASES

Krytox™ oils are made from only fluorine, carbon, and oxygen — a mixture of compounds collectively known as perfluoropolyether (PFPE). Krytox™ perfluorinated oils deliver high performance, perform at wide temperature ranges, and provide superior quality lubrication under extreme conditions in comparison to hydrocarbon alternatives.

Krytox™ Use with Reactive Chemicals

Krytox™ greases, using the most advanced lubricant formulated from space-age fluoropolymer technology — are created by thickening synthetic perfluoropolyether (PFPE) base oils with micro-fine polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) powder, creating a white, nontoxic grease that provides excellent lubrication in demanding applications. The PTFE thickener forms a barrier that holds the base oil at friction contact points for long-term lubrication without requiring complicated oil recirculation systems.

Krytox™ Applications & Uses by Industry

Krytox™ GPL Delivers Performance.

Oxygen-safe Krytox™ oils and greases combine stability, high-temperature performance, non-flammability, and chemical inertness with outstanding lubrication under a variety of conditions.

GPL 200–207: white buttery greases with all of the same properties as the GPL 100–107 oils that they are made from, but they are in grease form.

GPL 210–217: black greases that contain 5% molybdenum disulfide added as an extreme pressure additive for highly loaded gears and bearings.

GPL 220–227: white anticorrosion greases that contain 2% sodium nitrite. These grades provide rust protection at ambient temperatures, corrosion protection at high temperatures, and anti-wear protection.

KRYTOX™ GPL SERIES – ABOUT

Krytox™ GPL oils and greases are based on perfluoropolyether (PFPE) oils. This series of synthetic fluorinated lubricants are used in extreme conditions, such as continuous high temperatures up to 260 °C (500 °F), and will survive short-term peak temperatures of up to 270 °C (518 °F). Chemically inert and safe for use around most chemicals, these lubricants are nonflammable and are 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.
