Krytox™ Gearbox Performance Lubricants

Lubricants to Enhance Performance and Extend the Life of Gearboxes

Krytox™ high-performance lubricants are designed to protect high-temperature gearbox gears, bearings, and seals. Krytox™ fluoropolymer greases will not oxidize, even in applications with operating temperatures up to approximately 270 °C (518 °F).

Krytox™ gearbox greases and oils help eliminate bearing and gear failures resulting from lubricant oxidation, which leads to extended seal and gearbox life. In many applications, Krytox™ gearbox lubricants last the life of the gearbox, greatly reducing or eliminating the need for maintenance and relubrication.

Features and Benefits of Krytox™ Performance Lubricants for Gearboxes

Krytox™ performance lubricants are formed from a perfluoropolyether- (PFPE-) based polymer composed of fluorine, oxygen, and carbon. No hydrogen is present in the molecule, resulting in exceptional properties that make these lubricants:

  • Nonreactive
  • Nonflammable
  • Safe in harsh environments
  • Long-lasting
  • Compatible with all seal materials

A Range of Product Grades to Fit Every Application

Krytox™ performance lubricants for gearboxes are available in various base oil viscosities to provide the best performance for a given environment.
