Krytox GPL-205 grease is a synthetic PFPE-based oil, thickened with PTFE powder to create a white, non-toxic lubricant that provides excellent lubrication. It is commonly used in the automotive, aerospace, electronics and manufacturing industries. This grease has the ability to withstand extreme temperatures, pressure and harsh chemical environments. It reduces friction, prevents wear and corrosion, and extends the lifespan of machinery and components. This grease also leads to reduced maintenance costs and increased equipment reliability.
Features:
- Krytox GPL-205 grease has a PTFE thickener that keeps base oil at the friction contact points for long-term lubrication.
- Its non-toxic, non-flammable and non-reactive properties make it ideal for use in food processing, pharmaceuticals and medical devices.
- This grease provides radiation resistance and is safe for chemical and oxygen service.
- It can handle extremely low temperatures (as low as -33 degrees F) and extremely high temperatures (as high as 400 degrees F) with ease.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. How is grease different from oil?
A. Grease is thicker and has a semi-solid consistency compared to oil. Grease stays in place and adheres to surfaces better, making it suitable for applications with slow-moving or heavily loaded parts.
Q. What are the signs of over-greasing or under-greasing equipment?
A. Over-greasing can lead to overheating and excess friction while under-greasing can result in premature wear and damage. Signs of these issues include unusual noise, increased operating temperature and visible wear on components.
Q. How should old grease be disposed of?
A. Proper disposal of used grease is essential. It should not be poured down drains or released into the environment. Instead, it should be collected and disposed of according to local regulations, which may involve recycling or proper disposal at a waste facility.
Q. What is the quantity of grease supplied in this tube?
A. This tube contains 0.5 ounces of grease. If you want more quantity of grease, you can go for Krytox GPL-205 grease pail that has 20 kg grease in it.
