Reactive Gas Industrial Lubricants

When working with reactive gas equipment, failure is not an option.

Conventional lubricants that contain mineral oils or conventional synthetics can react with oxygen and halogens such as chlorine, fluorine and bromine, thus increasing the potential for explosion, fire and premature deterioration. 

Reactive gas applications require lubricants that help provide safe operations.

That’s why DuPont Performance Lubricants offers the Krytox® NRT line of oils and greases. Krytox® technology delivers:

  • Safe, non-reactive, non-flammable use with reactive gases
  • 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. 

DuPont lubricants help assure the safe operations in reactive gas service.

Krytox® technology provides state-of-the-art performance for mechanical systems under harsh conditions. From compressors and bearings —to seals, actuators, valves and more— Krytox® can be your ideal choice for use in cryogenic and fire fighting applications, life support systems and equipment and components in reactive gas service.
