描述
Krytox GPL 215 is an extreme pressure (EP) PFPE (Perfluoropolyether) grease, 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 black, NLGI Grade 2 grease is formulated with a PTFE thickener and molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) as an extreme pressure additive. It is specifically designed for slow speed or heavily loaded applications where high load-carrying capability is required.
Krytox GPL 215 offers outstanding chemical, thermal and mechanical properties. It is chemically inert, non-flammable, and compatible with oxygen service. The grease does not migrate even at high temperatures, is silicone- and chlorine-free, and does not release volatile organic compounds (VOC).
With regular stock availability, we support both trial orders and large‑volume bulk shipments for automotive, industrial, and heavy-duty applications.

Material Advantages of Krytox GPL 215
What makes Krytox GPL 215 the preferred choice for extreme pressure and high-load lubrication applications? Below are its core practical advantages:
Extreme Pressure Performance with MoS₂
Krytox GPL 215 contains 5% molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) as an extreme pressure additive. This provides exceptional load-carrying capability for highly loaded gears and bearings operating at slow speeds. The grease can withstand loads up to 8,000 N.
Broad Temperature Range
With an estimated useful temperature range from -36°C to 204°C (-33°F to 400°F), Krytox GPL 215 performs reliably in both cold and high-temperature environments. It can survive short-term peak temperatures up to 220°C (429°F).
Chemical Inertness & Non-Flammability
Krytox GPL 215 is chemically inert and will not react with aggressive chemicals. It is non-flammable and safe for use in oxygen service. The grease is insoluble in conventional solvents.
Long Service Life & Extended Re-lubrication Intervals
Krytox GPL 215 provides exceptionally long lifetimes in sealed-for-life bearings and extends re-lubrication intervals in bearings that require re-lubrication. High-temperature stability provides bottom-line savings from improved reliability and a reduction in grease usage and manpower.
Excellent Film Strength
Excellent film strength reduces wear to reduce maintenance costs. Under high loads, the viscosity increases to provide support and absorb the pressure.
Compatibility with Plastics & Elastomers
Krytox GPL 215 does not damage plastics or elastomers, nor cause corrosion to metals.
Silicone-Free & VOC-Free
Does not contain silicone, chlorine, or volatile organic compounds (VOC). Not hazardous to the atmosphere or ozone layer.
Non-Toxic & Environmentally Inert
Krytox oils and greases are biologically and environmentally inert.

Usage Guidelines & Storage
Recommended handling and storage practices for Krytox GPL 215:
| Parameter | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Storage Temperature | Cool, dry place away from direct sunlight |
| Application Method | Manual application (jar/tube) or automatic lubrication systems |
| Surface Preparation | Clean surfaces free of old grease, dirt, and contaminants. New bearings should be inspected for damage and cleanliness before use |
| Compatibility | Compatible with most plastics, elastomers, and metals |
| Reapplication Interval | Extended intervals due to low evaporation and high thermal stability |
| Shelf Life | Indefinite in unopened, clean, dry storage |
Critical Usage Warnings for Krytox GPL 215:
Temperature Limits: Do not exceed continuous operating temperature of 204°C (400°F). Short-term peak temperatures up to 220°C (429°F) are acceptable.
Surface Preparation: When using Krytox as a lubricant, thoroughly remove all existing grease or rust preventive oils from components. Failure to do so may result in shortened bearing life.
Compatibility: Krytox greases are compatible with other PFPE/PTFE lubricants, but should not be mixed with other common types of lubricants.
MoS₂ Consideration: Krytox GPL 215 contains molybdenum disulfide and should be used where there is no danger of the MoS₂ additive reacting with chemicals or causing contamination.
Storage: Store in original, sealed containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Solvent Cleaning: Krytox GPL 215 is insoluble in conventional solvents. Special solvents are required for diluting, cleaning and removing Krytox products.
