Specialty automotive formulations of Krytox™ lubricants provide superior performance and durability characteristics including significantly reducing re-lubrication intervals and 98% reduction in bearing failure. These low volatility lubricants include high penetration oils and ultra-low to zero motility greases, some of which are H1 certified. Chemours’ strict manufacturing regulations and optimization of their fluorochemicals exhibit a predictable viscosity index and longevity performance characteristics at a wide temperature and pressure range, which is crucial to all automotive applications. Miller-Stephenson is a direct channel partner with The Chemours Company for the North American distribution of Krytox and provide world-class technical support, assistance, and reliable customer service. AUT Series Krytox™ AUT series are long lasting greases that are specifically formulated for the automotive industry, offering superior chemical and thermal stability. Provides flexible options for anti-corrosion and water washout protection with proprietary additives. AUT 2045: Elimination of spark plug boot-adhesion and boot cracking. AUT 2E45: Formulated with a sodium nitrite free anti-rust additive for applications such as O rings and ball and bench bearings. AUT 2245: Utilizes sodium nitrite as an anti-corrosion additive for applications such as fan clutch bearings and alternator rear bearings. AUT SERIES TDS QUOTE GPL 100 Series Krytox™ GPL 100 series are highly regarded for their NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) and weather stripping properties, especially for interior automotive parts, bushings in the windshield wiper motor, elimination of stick-slip, and electronic parking brake mechanisms. These high penetration PFPE oils act as the base oil for the entire GPL grease series. Also, are utilized for their stability in a wide variety of operating conditions and environments. GPL oils are durable and therefore extremely long lasting lubricants that offer broad material compatibility. GPL-100 SERIES TDS QUOTE GPL 200 Series Krytox™ GPL 200 series are additive-free fluoropolymer greases that are utilized extensively throughout the automotive industry. Offers broad material compatibility, high temperature stability, and significantly reduced maintenance costs. NVH squeak and rattle elimination, O ring, and assembly line lubrication are just a few proven applications. GPL 204: Provides elimination of spark plug boot-adhesion and boot cracking. Lubricates plastic gears and exterior rearview mirrors. GPL 205: Lubricates hydraulic clutch actuators, elastomeric seals. GPL 207: Resistant to coolant wash-off. Superior grease for the actuator rod in the cooling system thermostat. GPL-200 SERIES TDS QUOTE GPL 210 Series Krytox™ GPL 210 series utilizes molybdenum disulfide as a high pressure additive. The addition of this additive results in exceptional performance for a broad temperature and pressure range to which some automotive parts are exposed. These high quality, heavy-duty black greases are used for high loading or slow speeds and are effective for squeak and rattle elimination. Applications include CV joints, splined shafts, steering rack, and U-joints. GPL-210 SERIES TDS QUOTE GPL 220 Series Krytox™ GPL 220 series has a superior anti-corrosion/anti-wear inhibitor, sodium nitrite. These greases are utilized for rust protection at ambient temperatures and corrosion protection at high temperatures. Properties like resistance to under-hood contaminants, high temperature stability, and durability make it ideal to lubricate and protect moving parts susceptible to oxidation. GPL 225: Typical applications are automotive bearings subject to oxidation, fan clutch, alternator rear bearings, turbo and superchargers. GPL-220 SERIES TDS QUOTE GPL 295 Krytox™ GPL 295 offers extreme pressure, anti-wear, and anti-corrosion additives. Delivers exceptional performance in areas that are exposed to both high pressure and oxidizers. Provides an effective fretting corrosion resistance, along with high temperature stability to ensure very long life in these otherwise vulnerable applications. Ideal for lubrication of clutch pilot bearings. GPL 295 TDS QUOTE GPL 255 Krytox™ GPL 255 utilizes low levels of fluorescing agents to allow the grease’s appearance to change under an ultraviolet lamp or “black light”. The naturally white grease appears a yellowish-green color once it is exposed to UV light. This allows the grease to be hidden on a white surface under normal circumstances, but easily visible during manufacturing processes. GPL 255 can also allow confirmation that the grease did not migrate. GPL 255 grease is also available in the oil form as the GPL 155. GPL 255 TDS QUOTE XP Series Krytox™ XP series is formulated using patented soluble additives that will not wash away or be left behind with the grease thickener. Provides anti-corrosion, anti-fretting, and high temperature stability properties, as well as resistance to separation under centrifugal loads and to diesel exhaust fumes. Perfect choice for bearings in truck automatic clutches to decrease noise and extend the life of the part. Other proven applications include lubricating actuator gears in EGR valves and bearings. XP SERIES QUOTE Specialty Solvents Miller-Stephenson offers ultra-high purity specialty solvents designed for a wide range of critical cleaning and degreasing applications due its exceptional material compatibility. The removal of residual particles and contaminants is crucial as they may hinder, cause failure, or ignite. Vertrel™ and Opteon™ specialty cleaning solvents are highly regarded for their ability to clean Krytox and other fluorinated lubricants, machine oils, PCBs, and electronic components from a multitude of automotive parts due to their exceptional compatibility with most plastics, elastomers, and metals. Ideal replacements to nPB and TCE due to their safety profile, high solvency power (Kb values), fast evaporation/dry times, material compatibility and non-flammability. Vertrel™ Series Vertrel™ specialty fluids are heavily utilized in the automotive industry because of their exceptional cleaning performance across a broad range of soils such as oils, greases, waxes, and hydraulic fluids with the added benefit of non-flammability and greater work safety. Thanks to their high penetrations and low surface tensions, Vertrel solvents are able to clean tight areas and provide superior cleaning performance versus hydrocarbon and water-based cleaners. Their fast-drying property also allows for an increase in productivity due to less downtime.
