How a new wave of Krytox™ high-performance lubricants are fueling higher expectations in the auto industry.
Hear that? Neither do we. That’s because the precision formulas in Krytox™ lubricants address the most common noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) and buzz, squeak, and rattle (BSR) issues in modern vehicles.
Prevent weather strips from bunching, cracking, and shrinking to help reduce wind noise, drafts, and water leakage.
Keep rubber gaskets and seals in convertible tops, sunroofs, trunk lids, and doors in good condition and at top performance.
Minimize squeaks and rattles from stick-slip between moving parts, and sustain this noise reduction through rain and dust.
Get rid of irritating noises that result from leather-on-leather friction, without staining the leather or making it sticky over time.
Effectively silence sounds caused by the interaction of various materials, elastomers, and plastics, without oxidizing or discoloration.
Maintain long-lasting performance through continued use, contamination, and temperature changes.
Compatibility with metal, plastic, elastomer, leather, and more allows components to last as designed.
Low volatility to resist drying out and nonmigration to ensure lubricant stays where it’s applied.
Resistance to washout from water, road salt, steam, and detergents that erode other lubricants over time.
Lower coefficient of friction, in comparison to other options, to reduce wear and prevent noise and vibration during vehicle operation.

Krytox™ lubricants can be applied in vehicle interiors and exteriors to cut down or eliminate NVH and BSR. Typical application areas include:
Whatever the road ahead brings, Krytox™ PFPE lubricants are engineered to work hard, last long, and always deliver results—even under the harshest conditions.
Wide temperature range performance.Extreme heat or cold has no effect on the lubricity.
Chemical stability.Withstand fuel, coolant, brake fluid, engine oil, washer solvent, and even battery acid.
Low volatility.These lubricants are less likely to dry out and more likely to stay put, which helps them last longer.
Compatibility.Won’t harm painted surfaces, plastics, or elastomers. These lubricants are compatible with almost every material.
Krytox™ high-performance lubricants work every time. Do you have that kind of confidence in your automotive oils and greases? Learn more about how our innovative, long-lasting lubricants can help eliminate noise issues even under the harshest conditions and broadest range of temperatures.
