Product Information
As the automotive market moves towards electrification many designers are discovering the value of Krytox™ high performance synthetic lubricants from Chemours. To meet the needs of the emerging electric vehicle connector application, Krytox™ lubricants can reduce friction, resist water, and are dielectric (insulating). These attributes can help maintain the high performance of your electric vehicle charging system.
Description
Krytox™ perfluoropolyether (PFPE) oils without additives are good insulators. The typical dielectric properties are shown in the table. There is no difference in the electrical properties of different grades of oils, as their chemical properties are identical, and the primary difference is viscosity.
Typical Dielectric Properties of Krytox™ Oil and Greases
Applications
Krytox™ lubricants can be used to reduce friction for assembly and sealing purposes
- O-rings
- Seals
- Latches
- Interconnect springs
- Screw point
Design Advantages with Krytox™ Lubricants
- Non-volatile
- Nonflammable
- Non-migrating
- No varnish
- Nonconductive
- No water washout
ASTM D1264 measures grease lost in a rotating bearing where a water stream impinges on the lubricated areas. The unique chemistry of Krytox™ makes for a product that is not soluble in water or displaced easily by it.
- High temperature stability
- Indefinite shelf life
- Chemically inert and non-reactive
- Does not harm vulnerable amorphous thermoplastics
- Does not harm EPDM-based elastomers
- Usable with most metals up to 288 °C (550 °F)
Round Springs with UV Trace Krytox™ Oil
Friction Reduction
- PFPE based lubricants reduces friction significantly at all speeds and forces
- Pure PTFE is only efficient at low speed and low force
- Krytox™ Grease
- J- Non-lubricated
- K- Krytox™ Oil
- M- PTFE Coatings
- No bar = the friction too high for the machine
Several grades of Krytox™ oil and grease are suitable for assembly/sealing aids, depending on the application type and temperature range encountered (see table below).
