Thickened with silica, this heavy grease clings to parts so it won't wash off in wet environments. Apply directly to plastic and rubber seals and O-rings to prevent drying and cracking.

NLGI viscosity grade is a rating of a grease's consistency. NLGI 3 is about the consistency of vegetable shortening.

Grease lubricates most efficiently within the listed temperature range.

Fluorocarbon and fluorinated polymer thickeners add chemical resistance to this grease. It remains intact when exposed to water and most solvents and chemicals. Apply directly to plastic and rubber seals and O-rings to prevent drying and cracking.

NLGI viscosity grade is a rating of a grease's consistency. NLGI 2.5 is between the consistencies of peanut butter and vegetable shortening. NLGI 3 is about the consistency of vegetable shortening.

Grease with moly (molybdenum disulfide) has excellent resistance to wear and can withstand high-load and high-pressure applications. Grease with PTFE has small particles of PTFE that reduce friction and help the grease maintain its lubricity. It’s not for use with ketones, such as acetone and MEK.

Grease lubricates most efficiently within the listed temperature range. Melting temperature is the point at which grease will fail and run out of equipment, leaving it to run dry.

A firm consistency and resistance to evaporation make this grease ideal for vacuum applications, such as flow meters, vacuum and pressure systems, and laboratory equipment. Apply directly to seals and O-rings to prevent drying and cracking.

NLGI viscosity grade is a rating of a grease's consistency. NLGI 2 is about the consistency of peanut butter. NLGI 3 is about the consistency of vegetable shortening and is comparable to Fomblin grease.

Grease with PTFE thickener resists aggressive acids, bases, and solvents.

Grease lubricates most efficiently below the maximum temperature. Melting temperature is the point at which grease will fail and run out of equipment, leaving it to run dry. Nonmelting grease can be used at temperatures above the maximum temperature briefly, but then will break down more quickly.

This thin grease goes on as a film to form a seal in glass and metal stop cocks. It won't react with laboratory chemicals, such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, potassium hydroxide, and salt solutions.

Grease lubricates most efficiently below the maximum temperature. Melting temperature is the point at which grease will fail and run out of equipment, leaving it to run dry.

Use this oil in food-processing and preparation areas.

Viscosity is the thickness of an oil. The higher the grade, the thicker the oil, and the less it flows.

Oil that is NSF Registered H1 and oil that is FDA Compliant 21 CFR 178.3570 are rated for incidental contact with food.

Synthetic oil lasts longer than mineral oil and withstands a wider range of temperatures.

Chemours Krytox™ GPL 105 handles extreme temperature swings, is chemically inert, and can be used with oxygen. It is long lasting with an indefinite shelf life.

Coat tight-fitting metal parts, such as gears, clutches, and press-fit assemblies, with these lubricants before sliding them together to make assembly easier. Once assembled, they provide initial lubrication in equipment before oil has a chance to flow.

Mineral-oil-based lubricants, derived from petroleum, are more economical than synthetic-oil-based lubricants. Synthetic-oil-based lubricants last longer than mineral-oil-based lubricants.

Lubricants with moly (molybdenum disulfide) withstand high-pressure applications and have excellent wear resistance. Lubricants with graphite have additional pressure resistance and excellent temperature resistance. All Dupont Molykote lubricants have a high load-carrying capacity. Molykote M-77 Paste is commonly used on brakes and clutches; it is compatible with material that is damaged by mineral oil, such as natural rubber, SBR, and EPDM. As a paste it lubricates to 445° F; after drying, it continues to lubricate at temperatures up to 660° F. Molykote G-Rapid Plus Paste is often used to assemble threaded spindles, gears, screws, and pumps. It can be used as an initial lubricant. Molykote DX Paste has good corrosion resistance. It provides long-lasting lubrication after assembly.
