Krytox® oils and greases offer a unique combination of properties that provide exceptional performance, with solutions to your most difficult problems. Compared with other lubricants, only Krytox® oils and greases combine high-temperature performance, nonflammability, and chemical inertness under a wide range of conditions. Krytox® oils and greases increase the service life of critical components, allowing equipment manufacturers to extend warranties and manufacturing plants to reduce costly maintenance, while improving productivity by reducing component failure. They can be a significant contributor to lowering the cost of doing business.
Krytox® oils and greases provide superior protection and load-carrying ability under the most severe conditions. They are particularly well suited for use in 100% liquid or gaseous oxygen service, and are effective at temperatures as hot as 750°F (399°C) and as cold as -60°F (-51°C). From the aggressive world of chemical processing, to the high temperatures in state-of-the art automotive applications, to the critical tolerances of aerospace military specs, and in many other demanding industries, Krytox® oils and greases are becoming the lubricants of choice worldwide.
The Krytox® product line delivers:
- Performance -- When compared with other lubricants, only Krytox® oils and greases combine their level of stability, high-temperature performance, nonflammability, and chemical inertness with outstanding lubrication under a variety of conditions.
- Reduced Environmental Footprint-- Using DuPont Krytox® oils and greases can eliminate the need for hydrocarbon lubricants and their potential environmental impact. They last longer, so less lubricant is needed. They are nontoxic and do not release volatile organic compounds into the atmosphere.
- Cost-effectiveness -- Krytox® performance lubricants are cost-effective across a broad range of applications because they provide the value of superior protection and useful life compared with traditional hydrocarbons. Equipment manufacturers can extend warranties and manufacturing plants reduce the costly maintenance associated with component failure.
Benefits/Features of Krytox®
The unique properties of Krytox® oils derive from its fluorinated structure. This structure, polyhexafluoropropylene oxide, is an extraordinary fluorinated ether and yields a highly lubricious liquid with extremely low volatility. This polymer is represented in the graphic to the right. It consists of a carbon (gray) and oxygen (red) ether backbone. This provides a flexible platform onto which the fluorines (green) are attached. The fluorine is responsible for providing the thermal and chemical stability ideal for use in severe environments. Krytox® oil is insoluble in water, acids, bases, and all common organic solvents, and it is nontoxic.
