Chemically Inert
Krytox™ LVP high-vacuum grease has demonstrated an exceptionally high degree of chemical inertness to many highly reactive chemicals. For example, Krytox™ LVP grease shows no evidence of reactivity when exposed to:
- Boiling sulfuric acid
- Fluorine gas at 200 °C (392 °F)
- Chlorine trifluoride at 10–50 °C (50–122 °F)
- Uranium hexafluoride gas at 50 °C (122 °F)
- Molten sodium or potassium hydroxide at 318–360 °C (605–680 °F)
- Hydrogen gas at 250 °C (482 °F) and 250 psi
- Ammonia gas at 250 °C (482 °F) and 50 psi
Krytox™ LVP is not reactive with any of the following materials when tested at room temperature:
- Ethyl alcohol
- Hydrazine
- Diethylenetriamine
- 90% hydrogen peroxide
- Nitrogen tetroxide
- JP-4 turbine fuel
- Unsymmetrical dimethyl hydrazine Aniline
- Inhibited red fuming nitric acid
- Halogen acids
- Chlorine or bromine
Nonflammable
Krytox™ LVP grease is nonflammable under all conditions likely to be encountered in service. It shows no autogenous ignition, flash, or fire points up to the highest temperature tested, 649 °C (1200 °F), in standard AS™ 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 non-reactivity of Krytox™ lubricants with oxygen were performed at a variety of conditions.
