Reliable PFPE lubricants engineered for vacuum systems, oxygen service, semiconductor equipment, high-temperature bearings, and precision mechanisms.
PFPE grease is a high-performance lubricating grease made from perfluoropolyether base oil, usually thickened with PTFE. PFPE grease is selected for applications where conventional mineral oil, PAO, silicone or lithium greases may fail due to high temperature, oxygen exposure, aggressive chemicals, vacuum conditions or material compatibility requirements.
Engineering Note: PFPE grease is not chosen only because it is "premium." It is chosen when the application requires chemical inertness, temperature stability, vacuum performance or oxygen compatibility that conventional greases cannot provide.
PFPE grease resists many aggressive chemicals, solvents, fuels, acids and oxidizing environments.
PFPE chemistry is widely used in oxygen, reactive gas and high-temperature environments where flammability risk must be controlled.
PFPE grease is suitable for selected vacuum and semiconductor equipment because of its low volatility and low outgassing behavior.
PFPE grease is generally selected for applications involving metals, plastics, elastomers, O-rings and seals, but final compatibility testing is still recommended.
Review the conditions below. If your equipment operates under these constraints, PFPE chemistry may be the required lubrication path.
Why PFPE Helps: PFPE grease can be selected where oxidation, oil evaporation, carbon deposits or hardening shorten the service life of conventional grease.
Why PFPE Helps: Low vapor pressure PFPE grease helps reduce contamination risk in selected vacuum equipment and precision assemblies.
Why PFPE Helps: PFPE grease can be selected for oxygen or reactive gas service where non-flammability and chemical inertness are required.
Why PFPE Helps: PFPE grease resists many solvents, fuels, acids, alkalis and chemical vapors where hydrocarbon greases may dissolve or degrade.
Why PFPE Helps: PFPE grease is often selected for O-rings, seals and mixed material assemblies where swelling, embrittlement or compatibility risk must be reduced.
Why PFPE Helps: PFPE grease can reduce maintenance frequency in applications where relubrication is difficult, expensive or not allowed.

PFPE chemistry requires proper handling and application review to ensure performance and cost-effectiveness.
PFPE grease should not be mixed with mineral, PAO, lithium, silicone or unknown old grease. Clean the lubrication point before conversion.
PFPE grease has a higher material cost. It is best used where high temperature, oxygen, vacuum, chemical exposure or long-life lubrication justifies the cost.
PFPE grease is widely selected for plastics and elastomers, but compatibility should still be tested with the actual material.
Oxygen-compatible PFPE grease should be selected based on pressure, concentration, materials and system requirements.
