DuPont™ Krytox® Benefits Guide
| Benefits | Attributes | Application | |
Oil evaporates slowly, extending lubrication intervals | Low vapor |
| Used as sealant or lubricant in vacuum systems, high-temperature bearing, valve or o-ring lubricant, oven conveyor chain and bearing grease, or any use that requires high-temperature stability, low vapor pressure, high vacuum, chemical inertness, or in industries that manufacture oxygen |
| No breakdown in properties up to 10E07 rads | Radiation stability |  | Nuclear, aerospace, and difficult-to-access areas for repair or replacement |
| Reliable and consistent in low- or high-temperature conditions; nonreactive; does not break down | Thermal and oxidative stability |  | All industries |
| Does not burn or support combustion even in 100% liquid or gaseous oxygen | Non- flammability |  | Oxygen service, aerospace, chemical, semi-conductor |
| Low viscosity oils used at temperatures as low as –57°C (–70°F) | Low- temperature environments |  | Aerospace |
| Krytox® has a dropping point (thickener melting point) of 325°C (-617°F). Special thickener formulations provide useful lubrication up to 371° to 399°C (700° to 750°F) or higher with relubrication | High- temperature environments |  | Industrial bearings, corrugator and hot oven bearings, chains |
| Longer lubricant life, less contamination | Low outgassing |  | High vacuum, clean rooms |
| Protects bearings and other components under high loads or slower speeds. Components run quieter and wear protection is extended | Extreme pressure (EP) |  | Automotive bearings, industrial |
| Accommodate rigid specifications for safety in oxygen and harsh chemical environments | Meets military specifications |  | Aerospace and industrial applications: space shuttle, bearings, sealants, o-ring lubricant, oxygen systems |
| Does not break down under mechanical stress and lose ability to hold oil | Mechanical stability |  | All bearings |
| Select additives combined with Krytox® improve electrical conductivity | Conductivity |  | Where electrical conductivity is needed |
| Additives combined with Krytox® to protect metallic surfaces from corrosion caused by moisture and oxygen; prevents rusting | Anticorrosion |  | Any applications subject to harsh environments including exposure to extreme temperature ranges, frequent temperature cycling, moisture, or chemicals |
| Provides high specific load-carrying capability and highest protection against wear | Antiwear |  | Bearings used in all |
