Krytox™ GPL 255 is a high performance grease. For better control of the application it is added with a UV tracer. It is based on perfluoropolyether (PFPE), a liquid and very inert fluoropolymer, and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) as a functional thickener. In addition to the thickening effect, the PTFE used ensures higher stability and greater safety through additional emergency running properties. Compared to conventional lubricants, Krytox™ GPL 255 convinces with a significantly longer service life, higher stability and greater reliability. It is extremely temperature and pressure resistant, non-flammable and incombustible. Krytox™ GPL 255 is chemically inert, oxygen compatible and resistant to aggressive chemicals. Krytox™ GPL 255 does not migrate even at high temperatures, is silicone- and chlorine-free and does not release volatile organic compounds (VOC) into the atmosphere.
The fluorinated oils and greases of the Krytox™ series are preferably used where complete non-flammability, oxygen compatibility and resistance to aggressive chemicals are desired.
Krytox™ GPL 255 is insoluble in conventional solvents. Special solvents are required for diluting, cleaning and removing Krytox™ products.
