Krytox GPL 226

Krytox™ 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.

Krytox™ GPL 226 grease contains an anti-corrosion/antiwear inhibitor and is ideal for corrosive environments, where there is no danger of the sodium nitrite additive reacting with chemicals or causing contamination problems. Typical applications are automotive bearings, sealed pump bearings, electric motor bearings, and general-purpose bearings. 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.
