Millions upon millions of connectors have an elastomer-based O-ring as a sealant or protective interface between two metal surfaces. They are universally used across countless industries in machines, cars, airplanes, valves, pipelines and much more. It’s important to ensure the O-rings are properly protected for maximum protection & lifetime, achieve optimal performance with Krytox™ Specialty Grease.
Why Use Krytox™ Specialty Lubricants?
Krytox™ Specialty Oils & Greases provide an exceptional performance coupled with unrivaled operational life-spans. The PFPE technology allows the grease to perform at higher levels than competing mineral or synthetic oils and greases. Krytox™ Specialty Lubricants are ideal for O-Ring lubrication as they provide;
There are dozens of O-rings used in a single automobile and all are critical to the expected performance of the vehicle. Applications are varied and can range from the circulation of brake fluid, to engine oil, to transmission fluids and even the air conditioner system. By using Krytox™ Grease you can maximize the lifetime and reliability of the O-ring connections.
If there are any industries where failure can truly be catastrophic, it's the Aerospace industry. Senstitive & critical electronic or fuel systems can require a variety of o-ring materials and sizes. Ensure optimal performance by using the Krytox™ Aerospace Grade Grease listed below;
In the industrial world we live in transportation of fuels, chemicals, oil & more is constantly occuring all around us. Krytox™ Grease is the go-to o-ring lubricant and provides the most robust performance for a variety of environments and conditions.
