Krytox® is developed by DuPont, a chemical industry leader. We have unparalleled expertise in the special needs of our shared industry.  We know that systems in the chemical and petrochemical industries require lubricants that provide safe operations.

That’s why DuPont Performance Lubricants offers non-reactive, non-flammable lubricants, including the Krytox® NRT line of oils and greases. Krytox® technology delivers:

  • Safe, non-reactive, non-flammable use with reactive chemistry
  • Extended equipment life
  • No auto ignition at temperatures up to 900ºF in oxygen.
  • No ignition at pressures up to 350 bar.
  • Compatibility with polymers used in seals, o-rings, valves

DuPont lubricants have been independently tested by companies and organizations such as BOC, Air Liquide, BAM, NASA and General Dynamics and are proven acceptable for oxygen and other reactive chemical compatibility.

Krytox® works in a variety of applications.

  • Withstands a wide range of temperatures in highly corrosive environments.
  • Approved for use in valves, fans, pumps, agitators, reactors, centrifuges and other components.
