Krytox 240AC Hi-Temp Grease, 0.5 oz

Krytox 240AC is a high-temperature fluorinated grease designed for applications requiring lubrication under demanding temperature and environmental conditions. Krytox lubricants use a chemically inert perfluoropolyether (PFPE) base fluid with a PTFE thickener, providing lubrication for applications where resistance to chemicals and high temperatures is important.

Krytox 240AC is suitable for maintenance and industrial applications where a high-performance fluorinated grease is required. Its nonflammable and chemically resistant characteristics make Krytox lubricants useful in demanding environments where conventional hydrocarbon-based greases may not be appropriate.

Krytox 240AC Features

High-Temperature Krytox Grease

Krytox 240AC is formulated for lubrication applications where high temperatures and aggressive operating environments place demands on the lubricant. The PFPE base fluid and PTFE thickener provide a fluorinated lubrication system with properties that differ significantly from conventional petroleum- or synthetic-hydrocarbon-based greases.

Krytox fluorinated lubricants are valued for their chemical inertness and resistance to many aggressive chemicals. They can be considered where lubricant compatibility, temperature performance and environmental resistance are important factors in selecting a grease.

Fluorinated Grease for Demanding Applications

Fluorinated greases such as Krytox can be useful in applications where conventional lubricants may react with chemicals, oxidize at elevated temperatures or otherwise fail to provide the required performance.

Because lubricant compatibility depends on the specific materials, operating conditions and application, verify that Krytox 240AC is approved or specified for the intended component before use. Refer to the applicable equipment or aircraft maintenance documentation when using the product in an aviation application.

Krytox 240AC Applications

• High-temperature lubrication.
• Applications requiring a fluorinated grease.
• Environments where chemical resistance is important.
• Applications where a nonflammable lubricant is required.
• Industrial and maintenance applications involving demanding operating conditions.
• Components where a PFPE/PTFE lubricant is specified.

Choosing a High-Temperature Fluorinated Grease

Grease selection should be based on the operating temperature, load, speed, material compatibility, chemical exposure and manufacturer's lubrication requirements. A fluorinated grease should not automatically be substituted for another grease simply because it has a higher temperature capability.

For aircraft and other critical equipment, use the lubricant specifically identified by the applicable maintenance manual, component manufacturer's documentation or engineering specification.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Krytox 240AC?

Krytox 240AC is a high-temperature fluorinated grease using a PFPE base fluid and PTFE thickener.

What type of grease is Krytox 240AC?

Krytox 240AC is a PFPE/PTFE fluorinated grease. Krytox lubricants are designed for demanding lubrication environments where properties such as chemical resistance and high-temperature performance are important.

Is Krytox 240AC a high-temperature grease?

Yes. Krytox 240AC is intended for high-temperature lubrication applications. Refer to the manufacturer's current technical data sheet for the applicable operating temperature range and limitations.

Is Krytox 240AC compatible with all materials?

No lubricant should be assumed to be compatible with every material or application. Verify compatibility with the specific component, seal, elastomer, plastic and other materials before use.

Can Krytox 240AC be used on aircraft?

Potential aviation applications depend on the specific aircraft, component and maintenance requirements. Use Krytox 240AC on aircraft components only when it is specified or approved by the applicable maintenance documentation or component manufacturer.

What makes Krytox grease different from conventional grease?

Krytox uses a PFPE base fluid and PTFE thickener rather than a conventional petroleum or hydrocarbon-based lubrication system. This gives fluorinated Krytox lubricants distinctive chemical-resistance and high-temperature characteristics.
