描述
Krytox GPL 100 is a low viscosity PFPE (Perfluoropolyether) general purpose oil, genuinely manufactured by Chemours and imported as original product. As an authorized distributor and trader, we supply genuine material with full traceability and direct access to official Chemours technical documentation.
This clear, colorless synthetic oil is the lowest viscosity grade in the Krytox GPL 100–107 series, with an ISO Grade of 5. It contains no additives, making it exceptionally pure and suitable for the most demanding applications.
Krytox GPL 100 is a perfluoropolyether (PFPE) – also called perfluoro-alkylether (PFAE) or perfluoropolyalkylether (PFPAE). The polymer chain is completely saturated and contains only carbon, oxygen, and fluorine. This unique chemistry provides outstanding chemical, thermal and mechanical properties.
Krytox GPL 100 is non-reactive, non-flammable, safe in chemical and oxygen service, and long-lasting. It is widely used as a base oil and in applications requiring the lowest possible viscosity and extreme cold temperature performance.
With regular stock availability, we support both trial orders and large‑volume bulk shipments for automotive, industrial, aerospace, and demanding applications.

Material Advantages of Krytox GPL 100
What makes Krytox GPL 100 the preferred choice for low-viscosity and extreme low-temperature lubrication applications? Below are its core practical advantages:
Extreme Low Temperature Performance
With an estimated useful temperature range from -70°C to 66°C (-94°F to 150°F), Krytox GPL 100 is the lowest viscosity PFPE oil in the Krytox GPL series. Its low pour point and excellent low-temperature fluidity make it ideal for cryogenic and cold-environment applications.
Highest Purity – No Additives
Krytox GPL 100 contains no additives of any kind. This exceptional purity makes it suitable for applications where additive interactions must be avoided, including oxygen service and sensitive chemical environments.
Chemical Inertness & Non-Flammability
Krytox GPL 100 is chemically inert and will not react with virtually all chemicals, including alcohols, ammonia, solvents, steam, acids, and bases. It is non-flammable and safe for use in oxygen service (LOX and GOX). The absence of hydrogen in the PFPE molecular structure greatly increases stability and renders the lubricants non-flammable with no flashpoint.
Fluorinated Synthetic Oil Technology
Krytox GPL 100 is a clear, colorless, fluorinated synthetic oil. On a weight basis, it contains 21.6% carbon, 9.4% oxygen, and 69.0% fluorine. This unique chemistry provides outstanding chemical stability and resistance to degradation.
Cost-Effective Base Oil
As the base oil for Krytox GPL 200 series greases, GPL 100 serves as the foundation for a wide range of high-performance lubricants, providing consistent quality and compatibility across the Krytox product line.
Non-Toxic & Environmentally Inert
Krytox oils are biologically and environmentally inert, providing safe handling and disposal characteristics.

Usage Guidelines & Storage
Recommended handling and storage practices for Krytox GPL 100:
| Parameter | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Storage Temperature | Cool, dry place away from direct sunlight |
| Application Method | Manual application (dropper/bottle) or automatic lubrication systems |
| Surface Preparation | Clean surfaces free of old oil, dirt, and contaminants |
| Compatibility | Compatible with all types of seals, most plastics, elastomers, and metals |

Critical Usage Warnings for Krytox GPL 100:
Temperature Limits: Do not exceed continuous operating temperature of 66°C (150°F) . Below -70°C, the oil may become too viscous for some applications.
Surface Preparation: When using Krytox as a lubricant, thoroughly remove all existing oil or rust preventive oils from components.
Compatibility: Krytox oils are compatible with other PFPE lubricants, but should not be mixed with other common types of lubricants.
Additive-Free: GPL 100 contains no additives. For applications requiring extreme pressure (EP) or anti-wear performance, consider Krytox GPL 215 or other GPL grades with additives.
Storage: Store in original, sealed containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Solvent Cleaning: Krytox GPL 100 is insoluble in conventional solvents. Special solvents are required for diluting, cleaning and removing Krytox products.

A: Yes. Submit your inquiry via our quick inquiry form or email ruiqingchem@gmail.com, specify quantity, packaging type (dropper bottle, bottle, jar, pail), application and delivery address. Regular orders ship within 7‑10 working days after payment confirmation. Large‑volume or urgent orders can be negotiated separately.
Q13: What are the limitations of this product?
A: Krytox GPL 100 has a low maximum service temperature of 66°C (150°F) due to its low viscosity. It is not suitable for high-temperature applications where higher viscosity oils are required.
