Krytox™ High-Performance Lubricants for Unmatched Equipment Reliability

In the world of industry, lubricants play a pivotal role in maintaining the efficiency of machinery and equipment. The use of Krytox™ lubricants can shield your business from unexpected downtime and protect your equipment from unnecessary breakdowns.

70% of Mechanical Failures Are Linked to Lubrication Issues

When selecting materials for new product specifications, the temptation often lies in opting for the most “common” or cost-effective choices. However, it’s essential to consider the contribution of lubrication in terms of performance within mechanical systems. Though lubricants typically occupy a modest volume within these systems, their role in operational efficiency is paramount. In fact, according to research conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and published in “Machinery Lubrication,” a staggering 70% of mechanical failures can be attributed to lubrication issues. Similarly, a study by the Institute of Mechanical Engineers revealed that an investment of 920€ in lubrication improvements yielded an average savings of 36 800€—a remarkable ROI of 3,900%.

By harnessing the power of Krytox™ High-Performance Lubricants, you can proactively safeguard your equipment against breakdowns, optimizing cost-effectiveness and performance enhancement. This approach enables you to reap the benefits of a highly effective return on investment. Specifically designed to excel in challenging conditions and extended service intervals, Krytox™ Lubricants overcome the typical challenges posed by traditional petroleum-based materials and contemporary synthetics, including diesters, polyalkylene glycols, and polyalphaolefins.

Common Lubrication Challenges

• Temperature: The majority of petroleum-based greases begin to degrade at temperatures above 100°C. Synthetic lubricants are susceptible to high-temperature degradation, while some silicone-based lubricants lack the stability required to withstand extremes.
• Oxidation: Traditional lubrication is susceptible to degradation through oxidation. The consequences of oxidation include increased maintenance costs, component failures, heightened viscosity, and shortened life cycles.
• Contamination: Water, acids, solvents, and caustic chemicals can contaminate conventional lubricants, severely impacting performance. Lubricant contamination can lead to a loss of lubricity, increased viscosity, sludge formation, and surface cracking.

Choose Krytox™ for High-Performance Reliability

Krytox™ Lubricants directly address and counteract the common challenges associated with traditional lubrication. Leveraging a unique and innovative perfluoropolyether chemistry, Krytox™ Performance Lubricants excel in the most demanding conditions. Moreover, Krytox™ oils and greases are non-toxic, non-flammable, and inert.

The Krytox™ range is renowned for:

• Extreme Temperature Stability: Krytox™ products maintain their lubricity and resist degradation across a broad temperature range, from -75 to 350°C. Even in applications with operating temperatures of approximately 270°C, Krytox™ greases remain oxidation-free.
• Resistance to Oxidation: Krytox™ Lubricants resist oxidation, thereby mitigating increased maintenance costs and component failures associated with this phenomenon.
• Resistance to Contamination: Krytox™ oil and grease are non-reactive to virtually all commonly used industrial chemicals, ensuring long-lasting lubrication and minimizing the risk of component failure, maintenance expenses, and waste.

By choosing Krytox™ High-Performance Lubricants, you not only protect your valuable equipment from potential failures but also enhance their overall performance, all while experiencing substantial cost savings.
