Krytox™ Performance Lubricants for Automotive Underhood Applications.

The bearings, gears, linkages, and actuators under the hood of your vehicle are sealed and lubricated for life. Fittings for re-lubrication do not exist, so the lubricants used in these applications must continue to perform over the life of the vehicle.

Krytox™ industrial lubricants provide maximum performance and durability across a wide range of applications, including alternators, cooling fan clutches, EGR valves, throttle bodies, motor-driven actuators, and highly-loaded drivetrain components, to minimize the risk of failures and warranty claims.

Consider these unique properties of Krytox™ industrial lubricants that are critical to automotive under hood applications:

A wide operating temperature range, from as low as -50°C to over 200°C, depending upon the grade.
Resistance to chemical attack by fuels, vapors, and aggressive combustion by-products that can compromise the life of most other lubricants.
Low volatility and durability during the life of the vehicle.
Compatibility with all plastics, elastomers and fluids used in today’s cars and trucks.
