Krytox™ for Aerospace

Lubricants Designed to Handle the Demands of Space Exploration

Lube for life which improves safety and reliability by complying with MIL-SPEC requirements

Developed in the early 1960s to handle the lubrication needs of the aerospace industry, Krytox synthetic lubricants have since developed many new grades and special formulations oils and greases offering superior performance characteristics and certifications for aerospace and aviation applications.

Krytox lubricants deliver extreme performance under extreme conditions as high and low temperatures, extreme pressure, and harsh environments but are also able to endure exposure to fuels, oxidizers, and radiation.

Krytox™ perfluoropolyether- (PFPE-) based oils and greases provide a remarkable list of properties for aviation and aerospace applications.

Krytox™ aerospace greases are available in grades conforming to:

MIL PRF-27617 Types I, II, III, IV
CAGE Code No. 43S57 (manufacturing)
CAGE Code No. 7GFT8 (business)
NSF H1-certification for unintentional food contact (e.g., commercial airplane galleys)

WHY Krytox™ AEROSPACE?

In commercial, corporate, and military aviation applications, Krytox™ performance lubricants reduce maintenance requirements, improve safety and reliability, and comply with a wide range of MIL-SPECs.

Krytox™ grease also eliminates the need for part relubrication, which decreases equipment downtime and extends service intervals, helping to temper overall operation costs.
