PFPE
CHRISTO-LUBE® brand perfluoropolyether (PFPE) greases have established themselves as the lubricant of choice for use under moderate to severe conditions, both terrestrial and otherwise. It is the Fluorine of the base stock and thickener that makes them so special. Having said that, both backbones show similar and highly desirable properties;
- Extremely wide operating temperature range

- Superb thermal, chemical and solvent resistance
- Nonflammable.
- Extremely long life and stable over changing temperature and pressure ranges
- Liquid and gaseous oxygen compatibility (BAM AND ASTM D-2512)
- Low vapor pressure (up to 10-12 Torr - Low evaporation rate)
- Wide operating temperature range (-90˚C - 290˚C)
- Non–toxic behavior
- Non–reactive with metal, plastic, elastomers and rubber
- Good low and high temperatures wear properties
- Clean room compatible
Classic Applications include;
Space
- Screw seat adjustment gears, and the oxygen system
- Oxygen valve bearings
- Breathing pack and arm/leg joints bearings
- Oxygen system, docking hardware, treadmill, instrument bearings, valves, and switches
- Pump seal and bearing lubricant in chlorine or strong oxidizer service
- Jet engine thrust actuators
Electrical / Automotive / Semicondcutor
- Meets USCAR insertion force and circuit resistance standards
- Electromechanical sensors
- throttle and fuel sensors and EGR valves
- Anti-lock Brakes
- Fuser roll bearings
- Robotic arms, platforms, and Linear slides
Other
- Sintered Metal Bearings
- NSF approved Food Applications
- Fishing Reels and compound archery pulleys
- And many, many More........
