Overview
Krytox™ GPL 255 Grease is a specialty lubricant that appears white with an added fluorescing agent in the oil to allow for easy detection under UV or black light to determine the application uniformity.
Krytox™ GPL 255 is not intended for routine application as a lubricant without proper qualification testing. The fluorescing additive is present at low levels, but its effect on lubrication performance has not been tested.
Features & Benefits
- Allows the use of a black light to determine the uniformity of an application
Problems Solved
Difficult to identify leaks or grease placement
Frequent grease migration or lubricant loss
Incredibly short lubricant usability life
Applications
Krytox™ GPL 255 is for use under black light to uncover surface areas where grease coverage is absent. It is ideal for applications requiring 100% surface coverage or with surface areas intentionally excluded from being covered by grease, such as use on seals, valves, O-rings, and bearings.
Under ultraviolet light, Krytox™ GPL 255 gives off a yellowish-green color visible to the unaided eye. The only equipment necessary is a standard broad-spectrum ultraviolet lamp, commonly known as a black light, that emits long-wave ultraviolet light in the 365 nm range, which is available from most common industrial supply companies.
