Krytox XHT AC grease is a special high temperature greases with low oil evaporation that provide anti-wear and rusting protection, and are compatible with all elastomers and plastics. These greases have excellent lubrication over a broad temperature range, but are designed to work best at temperatures over 200 °C (400°F). Krytox XHT AC series greases are nonflammable, oxygen-compatible, and chemically inert. Krytox greases provide extended lubrication intervals and longer equipment life.
The Krytox XHT AC series greases are an extension of the Krytox 240 series and Krytox GPL 22X series, but are designed to give higher performance in the 204–302°C (400–575 °F) range. Krytox™ XHT-AC series greases contain sodium nitrite to offer anti-corrosion performance. These greases should be used below 320 °C (608 °F), where the polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) thickener could begin to melt. The base oil is an extremely viscous oil that provides good viscosity and lower evaporation at high temperatures. Krytox grease is made to a standard NLGI grade 2. PTFE is the standard thickener.
Applications for these lubricants are generally of a critical nature, such as when temperatures reach extremes that conventional lubricants cannot handle. Krytox XHT AC and XHT ACX greases are expected to be durable in highly aggressive environments. Where failure of components is not an option, because of durability, warranty, safety, loss of productivity, or downtime, Krytox lubricants are the ideal choice in a wide range of industries and applications.
Compatibility with Metals
Because of their low surface tensions, Krytox lubricants easily wet metallic surfaces. Krytox lubricants are chemically inert and, therefore, have no adverse effect on metals when the temperature is below 288 °C (550 °F). Above 288 °C (550 °F), many alloy steels, stainless steels, and other metals, such as aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, nickel alloy, and cobalt alloy, can be used with Krytox lubricants.
