| Krytox® oils' unique properties are derived from its perfluorinated structure. This structure, known as polyhexafluoropropylene oxide, is an extraordinary perfluorinated ether and yields a highly lubricious liquid with extremely low volatility. Fluorine is responsible for providing the thermal and chemical stability ideal for use in severe environments. Krytox® oil is insoluble in water, acids, bases, and all common organic solvents and is nontoxic.
Selection of the best lubricant involves analyzing your operating conditions and choosing from the many synthetic and petroleum based products. Most petroleum products begin to degrade before 99°C (210°F) and cease turning at temperatures just below -18°C (O°F). Krytox synthetic lubricants have operating ranges from <-70 to 316°C<-94 to 600°F).
