Chemours - Krytox XHT, BDX High Temperature Grease, 2 oz Tube | XHTBDX20Z
DuPont™ Krytox® XHT-BDX series greases are special extreme high temperature greases with low oil evaporation and are thickened with a non-melting thickener to allow use at temperatures above the melting point of common greases. They have excellent lubrication over a broad temperature range. Krytox® XHT-BDX series greases are nonflammable and chemically inert. Krytox® allows extended lubrication intervals and longer equipment life.
Krytox® XHT-BDX greases are designed for use where the temperatures are in the 288 °C (500 °F) range and higher, where there is a danger of melting the standard PTFE thickener. This grease uses a special non-melting high temperature thickener. The base oil is an extremely viscous oil that provides good viscosity and lower evaporation at high temperatures. Krytox® XHT-BDX greases are for use in low speed bearings or in pillow housings and will shear at high speeds, causing loss of oil in sealed bearings. The oil in the grease can begin to slowly degrade at temperatures above 330 °C (626 °F) and this will occur at an increasing rate as temperatures increase. Relubrication could be required at these temperatures to achieve optimum life.
Due to their low surface tensions, Krytox® oils easily wet metallic surfaces and because of their inertness, Krytox® oils have little or no adverse effect on metals when the oil temperature is lower than 288 °C (550 °F). The behavior of Krytox® oils in the presence of many alloys has been studied using the Micro Oxidation-Corrosion Test developed by the Air Force Materials Laboratory.
In general, nickel and cobalt alloys are the most resistant to corrosion and are suitable for use with Krytox® up to 371 °C (700 °F). Carbon steel alloy suitability should be studied for uses above 288 °C (550 °F). Some types of stainless steel are satisfactory at 316 °C (600 °F). A summary of metals compatible with Krytox® oils at various temperatures is given below.
Certain alloys have been found to cause catalytic depolymerization of Krytox® at high temperatures. At 316 °C (600 °F), for example, titanium alloys that contain aluminum function in this way. Aluminum alloy 2024 also catalytically depolymerizes Krytox® at 371 °C (700 °F). This depolymerization is considerably reduced in the absence of oxygen when an inert gas is substituted for the dry air flow. This suggests that the reactions involved are between the Krytox® and the oxide coating on the metal surface.
I work on old vintage motorcycles, most of which have a fair amount of oil and grease on the engine and transmission parts. These gloves are so much better than the run of the mill cheapo's that can be bought about the same price. Yes, these will tear like any nitrile glove, but these are very, very durable and do a very nice job of standing up to gas, oils, and brake cleaner. I've yet to find any better than these for the price. No complaints whatsoever.
I took the chance of ordering expired Loctite 330. It was jelled up pretty good and generally unusable. It was my fault for trying it and never called the company to complain as I took the chance and that is on me. Order the good stuff.
Had used aviation Camguard for years. Added as well to each quart of oil added to my Lyc 540 SIA5 aerostar engines. Went past TBO with excellent compressions. Oil analysis always normal.
Also add to automobiles but too early to see a benefit.
