Performance LubricantsHigh Performance Lubricants for Automotive Component Bearings

Product Information
As automakers strive for extended warranties, many
designers are discovering the value of Krytox™ highperformance synthetic lubricants from Chemours.
Description
Krytox™ is a Chemours trademark for a family ofperfluoropolyether (PFPE) synthetic oils and greases.
Krytox™ lubricants exhibit long-term wear resistance,
superior lubricity, thermal stability up to 343 °C (650 °F),
and chemical resistance in the most severe environments.
With these unique benefits, Krytox™ oils and greases offerdesign advantages in a broad range of high-performance
automotive bearings.
Applications
Krytox™ lubricants are commonly used to extend service
life of chassis components and power train components
including:• Anti-lock brakes• Alternators• Clutch release bearings• Belt pulleys• CV/universal joints• Wheel bearings• Cooling fan motors
Design Advantages with Krytox™ Lubricants• Increase temperature rating• Maintenance-free operation• Extended service life
• Resistance to extreme environments• Nonflammability• Low noise operation

Recommended Grease Fill
Due to superior performance and higher specific gravity,
grease fill with Krytox™ lubricants can be reduced without
reducing service life. Medium-speed bearings with DNvalues (inner ID in mm x rpm) of 50,000–200,000 can be
filled 35%. For higher speed applications, grease fill canbe reduced to 25%.
Film Strength Durability
Krytox™ lubricants have been proven to exhibit superiorfilm strength durability under extreme loads comparedto synthetic hydrocarbons, advanced esters, polyalkyl
aromatics, etc. Supporting test results have been
published by the NASA Lewis Research Center in ASLE
transactions.
Superior Bearing Life
Krytox™ lubricants have been tested per ASTM and DIN
bearing tests at speeds ranging from 10,000–20,000rpm to demonstrate extended service life.
