Chemours Krytox™ for Automotive Bearing

For automotive manufacturers, this provides the opportunity to offer extended warranties and enjoy improved productivity through reduced component failure. Krytox™ is extensively used in extreme conditions such as continuous high temperatures up to 550°F, and higher temperatures for shorter periods, depending on product grade limits.

Easy to apply, safe to use, and engineered for long term success.
 

Automotive Grease Applications FAQ

What are Krytox™ lubricants and greases used for in the automotive industry?
Krytox™ lubricants and greases are used in a wide range of automotive applications, including fan clutches, cooling fans, alternators, clutch pilot bearings, and heavy-duty automatic clutches. They can also be used to reduce noise, vibration, and harshness or NVH - Learn More about NVH Reduction and Krytox Here ►.

What makes Krytox™ lubricants and greases superior to other synthetic lubricants in the automotive industry?
Krytox™ lubricants and greases are engineered from incredibly high quality PFPE base oils and as such have superior technical properties compared to traditional automotive grease solutions. Krytox™ boasts high temperature resistance, low volatility, and variable viscosity. These properties provide long-lasting performance, lower overall maintenance costs, and a lower environmental footprint.

How does the use of Krytox™ lubricants and greases in the automotive industry help meet rising consumer expectations?
The use of Krytox™ lubricants and greases provides automotive manufacturers with the opportunity to offer extended warranties, premium feel, and improved productivity through reduced component failure. These lubricants also have a lower environmental footprint, helping to meet rising consumer expectations for sustainable type products.

What are the benefits of using Krytox™ lubricants for cooling fans in the automotive industry?
Krytox™ lubricants have low volatility and high viscosity, providing long-lasting lubrication to cooling fan components. They also help prevent corrosion and wear at the point of lubrication due to their low volatility and chemical resistance to oxidation.

How does the use of Krytox™ greases improve the performance of alternators in vehicles?
The high output alternators used in today's vehicles generate a lot of heat, and Krytox™ greases are engineered to provide advanced and reliable heat-stability and thermal performance. This helps to improve the performance of alternators and ensure their long-term success.

What are the benefits of using Krytox™ lubricants for clutch pilot bearings in vehicles?
Pilot bearings lubricated with Krytox™ high-performance lubricants will last longer and perform better than those lubricated with other traditional greases due to the high-load capability and chemical inertness of Krytox™ grease.

How does the use of Krytox™ lubricants improve the performance of heavy-duty automatic clutches?
Lubricating with Krytox™ mid-range viscosity and low volatility lubricants reduces the chance that the bearings will fail with the frequent gear-shifting and high loads experienced throughout the extended life of heavy-duty trucks. This helps improve the longevity performance and reliability of heavy-duty automatic clutches.
