Critical Usage Warnings for Krytox GPL 201:
Temperature Limits: Do not exceed continuous operating temperature of 104°C (220°F). Short-term peak temperatures up to 204°C (400°F) may be possible.
Surface Preparation: When using Krytox as a lubricant, thoroughly remove all existing grease or rust preventive oils from components.
Compatibility: Krytox greases are compatible with other PFPE/PTFE lubricants, but should not be mixed with other common types of lubricants.
Food Grade: Krytox GPL 201 is not food-grade compatible (H1). For food-grade applications, consider Krytox H1 series.
Additive-Free: GPL 201 contains no additives. For applications requiring extreme pressure (EP) or anti-wear performance, consider Krytox GPL 215 (with MoS₂) 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 201 is insoluble in conventional solvents. Special solvents are required for diluting, cleaning and removing Krytox products.
