描述
Krytox GPL 106 is a high 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 fluorinated synthetic oil is an ISO Grade 220 oil with a viscosity of 243 cSt at 40°C. It is part of the Krytox GPL 100–107 series of general purpose oils and contains no additives, making it exceptionally pure and suitable for the most demanding applications.
Krytox GPL 106 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. On a weight basis, a typical Krytox oil contains 21.6% carbon, 9.4% oxygen, and 69.0% fluorine.
Krytox GPL 106 is non-reactive, non-flammable, safe in chemical and oxygen service, and long-lasting. It is NSF H1 certified for incidental food contact, making it suitable for food processing and pharmaceutical applications where incidental contact with food products may occur. With regular stock availability, we support both trial orders and large‑volume bulk shipments for automotive, industrial, food processing, aerospace, and demanding applications.

Material Advantages of Krytox GPL 106
What makes Krytox GPL 106 the preferred choice for high viscosity, extreme temperature, and food-grade lubrication applications? Below are its core practical advantages:
Highest Viscosity in the GPL 100 Series
With an ISO Grade 220 and viscosity of 243 cSt at 40°C (25 cSt at 100°C), Krytox GPL 106 offers the thickest oil film among the widely used GPL 100–106 grades. This provides maximum load-carrying capacity and superior wear protection, making it suitable for the most demanding applications where lower viscosity oils would fail to maintain an adequate lubricating film.
Unmatched High-Temperature Performance
With an estimated useful temperature range from -36°C to 260°C (-33°F to 500°F), Krytox GPL 106 outperforms conventional lubricants that degrade or evaporate at elevated temperatures. The fully fluorinated chemistry provides exceptional thermal stability, making it ideal for ovens, kilns, and other high-temperature processing equipment where hydrocarbon lubricants would rapidly fail.
NSF H1 Food-Grade Certification for Sensitive Applications
Krytox GPL 106 is NSF H1 certified for incidental food contact, making it the ideal choice for food processing, pharmaceutical, and other sensitive applications where food safety is critical. This certification ensures compliance with the most stringent food safety standards.
Chemical Inertness & Non-Flammability
Krytox GPL 106 is chemically inert and does not easily react with most acids, alkalis, solvents, oxidizing gases, or chemical media. 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.
Extended Lubrication Intervals
Krytox GPL 106 exhibits significantly longer-lasting lubrication than mineral oil–based technology. This translates to extended lubrication intervals, reduced maintenance costs, and increased equipment life.
Compatibility with Plastics & Elastomers
Krytox GPL 106 is compatible with all types of seals, O-rings, valves, and seals, and does not damage plastics, rubber, nylon, or elastomers.
Excellent Electrical Insulation
Krytox GPL 106 provides good insulating properties for electrical and electronic applications.
Silicone-Free & Environmentally Inert
Krytox GPL 106 does not contain silicone, chlorine, or volatile organic compounds (VOC). It is not hazardous to the atmosphere or ozone layer and is biologically and environmentally inert.

Critical Usage Warnings for Krytox GPL 106:
Temperature Limits: Do not exceed continuous operating temperature of 260°C (500°F) . Below -36°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 106 contains no additives. For applications requiring extreme pressure (EP) performance, consider Krytox GPL 215.
Storage: Store in original, sealed containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Solvent Cleaning: Krytox GPL 106 is insoluble in conventional solvents. Special solvents are required for diluting, cleaning and removing Krytox products.
