GBO 14Performance Lubricants

Product Information
Krytox™ oils are high performance, extreme pressure,water-resistant oils for your most demanding needs.
They provide stable performance in temperature
extremes and are designed to reduce friction and wear,
while extending equipment life in severe duty applications.
They are extremely resistant to water washout forbearings and other equipment. Their wide temperature
range allows them to be used in both high and low
temperature applications.
The superior film-forming capability of Krytox™ lubricants
provides a thicker oil layer and reduces wear. The nonoxidizing nature of the molecule makes the oils last longer.
The oils don’t carbonize and gum up as they age to cause
catastrophic failure. They have superior extreme pressure
properties and excellent adhesion, so they stand up to all
conditions.
This oil has been blended for use in cold to ambientconditions. If the application is to be run continuously
at high temperatures, the use of standard Krytox™
oil is recommended. The Krytox™ GBO oils have noadditives and are recommended for use where an inert,
nonflammable lubricant is needed.
Krytox™ lubricants are commonly used in aerospace,automotive, industrial, and semiconductor applications, aswell as solving many other routine lubrication problems.

Typical Applications
Applications for these lubricants are generally of a criticalnature, where temperatures are reaching extremes forconventional lubricants. They are durable in the mostaggressive environments and are now often considered an
integral part of the design. Where failure of components
is not an option, whether because of durability, warranty,safety, loss of productivity, or downtime, Krytox™ is thelubricant of choice in a wide range of industries andapplications.
Krytox™ oils and greases are silicone-free. They do notcontain any VOC materials or chlorine and are nothazardous to the atmosphere or ozone layer. They are
biologically and environmentally inert.
Compatibility
While Krytox™ oils are non-reactive, they have different
chemistries than standard lubricants and should not bemixed with other non-PFPE lubricants.
These lubricants are inert and will not react with any
materials they may come in contact with. The polymericnature of these products is extremely resistant tomoisture, so it stays in place during cleaning. Cleaners anddisinfectants, both acidic and caustic types, do not affectthem. Steam and high temperatures will not damage
them. They do not damage plastic or elastomer seals or
cause corrosion to metals. They are nonflammable andare safe for use in oxygen service.

Cleaning Systems Before Use

oil left in the system can contaminate the Krytox™ andalso prevent the Krytox™ from adhering—causing it tobe thrown off by the action of the bearing or pump. They
also can oxidize, harden, and create debris that willcontaminate the Krytox™.

Before using Krytox™, all old lubricants must be fully
removed from the pump or equipment. New bearings
should be inspected for damage and cleanliness before
use. New unlubricated bearings often have rust preventive
oils in them to prevent damage while they are in storage
before use. These greases or preservative oils need to beremoved when using Krytox™ as a lubricant. Failure to doso could result in reduced bearing life. The preservatives
coat the metal surface to prevent rusting, so they orStorage and Shelf Life
Krytox™ grease and oil lubricants have an indefinite shelf
life if unopened and stored in a clean dry location.
