Krytox oils and greases are completely nonflamma- ble, chemically inert, thermally stable and completely safe to use in all areas of oxygen service. Krytox products provide excellent lubricity at extremes of both low and high temperature. Krytox technology has set the standard for lubrication in the com- pressed gas industry. Krytox fluoropolymer lubricants have been used in oxygen service by the compressed industry for many years. Krytox has been used in cryogenic pumps from the following manufactures: ACD, Cryostar Cosmodyne to just name a few. Krytox has also been used in cryogenic blowers, bearings, compres- sors, oxygen valves, fittings and O-rings, amongst other mechanical components. Krytox oils are used prevalently as vacuum pump fluids in oxygen service by major corporations such as BOC Edwards, Leybold, and Ebara. The nonflammability and inertness to processing reactive gases provides safe performance and eliminates potential explosive reactions. Conventional mineral oil and synthetic lubricants are not compatible with other oxidizing chemicals. Oxygen will react with conventional lubrication technologies, leading to potential for explosion, fire and deterioration of the lubricant and component failure. Oxygen accelerates the decomposition of hydrocarbon lubricants. They rapidly form tars and varnish, causing bearings to fail. Oxygen will react with conventional additives, leading to degradation, reduced lubricant life, and a need for more frequent lubrication. The wide range of chemically inert Krytox oils and greases provide the best available lubrication for all oxygen service equipment. Krytox vacuum pump fluids are used in applications where conventional vacuum pump oils cause safety, waste disposal, and maintenance problems. They are nonflammable and reduce the chance of fire in pumps. They can replace any competitive PFPE fluid as well as any other type of vacuum fluid. Krytox fluids do not contain acetal groups, which are susceptible to attack by Lewis acids. This Gives Krytox superior stability as a vacuum pump fluid. Krytox vacuum fluids are precisely distilled to provide low vapor pressures and give superior performance leading to extended equipment life. In addition, Krytox fluids are recyclable.

It shows no autogenous ignition, flash, or fire points up to the highest temperature tested, 649°C (1200°F), in standard ASTM tests. Compatible with Oxygen At elevated temperatures and pressures, Krytox LVP high vacuum grease is highly resistant to attack by gaseous and liquid oxygen. As a result, it is the lubricant of choice in industries that manufacture or use oxygen. Tests confirming the nonreactivity of Krytox lubricants with oxygen were performed at a variety of conditions.
