DuPont™ Krytox® Performance Lubricants for Electric Motors.

Perfluoropolyether- (PFPE-) based DuPont™ Krytox® synthetic greases for electric motor bearings can save you money in multiple ways. First, you’ll use less lubricant due to the thermal stability and extremely long life of Krytox® grease.

The troublesome oxidation that affects most electric motor bearings is not a problem with Krytox® grease — which helps ensure no lubricant gum-up or breakdown for the life of the motor. That means potentially less maintenance and fewer bearing replacements, for even greater savings.

Finally, the superior film-forming viscosity and lubricity of Krytox® greases let electric motors spin with less resistant friction.

Benefits include: 

  • Krytox® oil has unsurpassed oxidation resistance in temperatures from -51 °C to 350 °C (-60 °F to
    662°F)
  • High-performance Krytox® can eliminate re-lubrication for the lifetime of the motor
  • Advanced, high-efficiency DuPont™ Teflon® PTFE* thickener will not oxidize nor break down with shear
  • Excellent corrosion resistance in storage and wet environments
