KRYTOX
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about KRYTOX from 3G Electric.
What ISO viscosity grade are KRYTOX vacuum pump lubricants?
KRYTOX vacuum pump lubricants stocked by 3G Electric are ISO viscosity grade 15, with an SAE grade of 2. This viscosity is suitable for many rotary vane and piston vacuum pumps operating in moderate temperature ranges. The viscosity index of 60 indicates stable viscosity across temperature changes, which is important for maintaining pump performance during startup and steady-state operation.
Are KRYTOX vacuum pump oils food-grade?
Yes, the KRYTOX vacuum pump lubricants listed (MPN 1506, 1514, and 1525) are food-grade, as indicated by the attribute 'attr71764: Yes' in the product specifications. These lubricants are NSF H1 registered for incidental food contact, making them suitable for use in food and beverage processing facilities where lubricant migration might occur. They are also appropriate for pharmaceutical and cosmetic manufacturing environments.
What container sizes are available for KRYTOX vacuum pump lubricants from 3G Electric?
3G Electric offers KRYTOX vacuum pump lubricants in multiple container sizes: 0.5 fl oz pails, 4 fl oz dropper bottles, 8 fl oz dropper bottles, 14 fl oz syringes, 17.6 fl oz jars, 35.2 fl oz pails, and 1.3 gallon pails. This range allows users to select the appropriate quantity for small-scale maintenance, laboratory use, or bulk system refills.
Can KRYTOX vacuum pump oils be used in oxygen service?
KRYTOX lubricants are perfluoropolyether (PFPE) based, which are chemically inert and non-flammable. They are commonly specified for oxygen service because they do not react with oxygen under normal conditions. However, users should verify compatibility with their specific pump manufacturer and oxygen service standards, as system design and operating parameters can affect safety.
What is the difference between KRYTOX MPN 1506, 1514, and 1525?
All three part numbers (1506, 1514, and 1525) share the same ISO 15 viscosity grade, SAE grade 2, and viscosity index of 60. The primary difference is the container size and format. MPN 1506 is available in a 17.6 fl oz jar. MPN 1514 comes in 4 fl oz dropper bottles, 8 fl oz dropper bottles, 14 fl oz syringes, and 35.2 fl oz pails. MPN 1525 is offered in 0.5 fl oz pails, 17.6 fl oz jars, and 1.3 gallon pails. All are food-grade.
