Halocarbon introduces its flagship perfluoropolyether (PFPE) product: InfinX MRO KF205. This high-performance lubricant is specifically designed for use in repair, operations, and routine industrial maintenance (MRO). Developed by industry experts to meet the critical needs of customers, this fluorinated lubricating grease can be used in the toughest applications, wherever superior reliability and safety are essential. Halocarbon PFPE technology adds to over 70 years of specialty fluorochemical focus, and creates engineering solutions to solve your problems… period.
What is InfinX MRO KF205?
With InfinX MRO KF205, Halocarbon releases its first PFPE-based grease formulation. This specialty product is engineered using a 160 cSt K-fluid and a superior PTFE micro-powder thickener to deliver premium performance properties in a wide array of MRO applications. Designed for use in most mechanical components that do not require corrosion inhibition, InfinX MRO KF205 targets applications that require long or sealed-for-life performance. Additionally, KF205 is an optimal material choice for applications running hot, as it allows for substantially longer product life cycles than conventional greases. InfinX MRO KF205 compares to other leading PFPE greases, such as Krytox GPL 205, and serves as an excellent alternative and high-performing substitute.
How is InfinX MRO KF205 Formulated?
Like the entire line of InfinX MRO KF200 series greases, KF205 is formulated using KF100 oils which are thickened to NLFI grade 2 using a high-grade PTFE thickener with a high melting point and small particle size for excellent bearing performance. This process results in a grease that is buttery in its texture and consistency. Halocarbon furnishes this high-performance grease in a 60g syringe and precision tip applicator standard, providing you with all the tools you need for easy application and precision delivery.
What are InfinX MRO KF205’s Key Properties?
InfinX MRO KF205 is specially designed for superior performance in MRO applications, thanks to several intrinsic properties and benefits. KF205 is non-reactive and oxygen compatible, which makes it extremely safe and reliable in harsh environments. Additionally, InfinX MRO KF205 offers exceptional thermal stability and excellent long-term durability in chemically and thermally demanding applications. With its outstanding property retention, KF205 performs better than Silicon and Hydrocarbon greases in various end-use applications.
InfinX MRO KF205 also exhibits best-in-class materials compatibility, especially in automotive applications. It is widely utilized for vehicle noise reduction and to mitigate squeaking and rattle, as it is compatible with all commonly used automotive materials. InfinX MRO KF205 is also ideal for oxygen-rich applications, as it is chemically inert, non-flammable, safe to handle, and non-toxic. This specialty fluorolubricant is designed to provide long-lasting, non-flammable lubrication as it provides superior durability across a wide temperature range. Comparing InfinX MRO KF205 to Krytox GPL 205, the performance properties are nearly identical:
