Overview
Krytox™ TM7 Grease is a high-performance, fluorinated grease with polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) thickener and proprietary additives. Krytox™ TM7 delivers exceptional thermal stability and very high load-carrying capability. Krytox™ TM7 has a useful temperature range of −20°C to 290°C (−4°F to 555°F). TM7 is designed for use in the vulcanization process of rubber tires in the automotive manufacturing industry and can be used in both electrically and steam-heated molds.
Krytox™ TM7 also boasts a very high degree of chemical nonreactivity and hydrolytic stability where contact with boiling water or steam has no effect. TM7 grease is a lubricant that eliminates carbon residue buildup that may occur on molds associated with hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon-based synthetic greases. Krytox™ TM7 also exhibits phenomenal adhesion properties that allow an operator to increase production and extend lubrication cycles (up to 5,000 cycles) without the need for relubrication.
Features & Benefits
- Eliminates carbon residue buildup
- Excellent surface adhesion and wetting
- Significantly increase production by increasing relubrication intervals
- Can last in excess of 5,000 cycles with average curing times
- Very high hydrolytic stability (boiling water or steam has no effect)
- High thermal stability up to 555°F
Problems Solved
Build of carbon residue on tire molds
Frequent required mold relubrication
Excessive and inefficient tire lubricant consumption
Applications
Krytox™ TM7 is engineered for use as a specialty lubrication solution in segmented tire molds (electric and steam heated).
