TEST*Faced with rising underhood temperatures and harsher demands, automotive lubricants can degrade, resulting in component failures and costly warranty claims. *PFPE lubricants, like Krytox™ lubricants, can outperform and outlast traditional lubricants, despite harsh environmental conditions. PFPE lubes also offer a marketing advantage—extended operating lifespan translates to extended warranty opportunities. *Lasting PFPE Lubricant Performance *In an endurance test (ASTM D-3336), which evaluates the life of greases in ball bearings, PFPEs outperformed hydrocarbons. At 10,000 revolutions per minute (rpm) and 177 °C (350 °F) most lubricants failed in less than 1,000 hours. *Krytox™ lubricant, a brand of PFPEs, lasted five times longer, with one grade performing for more than 25,000 hours—the equivalent of almost three years—without failing. The test was stopped before the lubricant failed (Figure 1). *TEST *Figure 1: ASTM D-3336 - Grease Life in Ball Bearings View the data sheet. *Similarly, in a ROF Test, which measures the useful life of greases at various temperatures and speeds, PFPE greases lasted 21 to 64 times longer than competitive lubricants (Figure 2). *^//Krytox%20ASTM%20D%203336%20Chart.PNG~left~90~Peak Pressure Performance *Figure 2: ROF+ - Bench Bearing Life View the data sheet. *Download the Solutions for the Automotive Industry brochure.

In a side-by-side temperature test, hydrocarbon and PFPE (Krytox™ GPL 227) greases were placed in an oven at 232 °C (450 °F) for 40 hours. The hydrocarbon grease lost 40 percent of its weight (ceasing to be an effective lubricant) and developed tar. Krytox™, the PFPE grease, remained unchanged in weight, appearance and lubricating ability (see comparison above).
