Castrol Braycote Micronic 1613

Perfluoroether, Sub-Micronic Grease Low Volatility, Wide Temperature

Description

Braycote Micronic 1613 is a smooth, off-white colored NLGI 2 grease. It uses Castrol Brayco 815Z as the base fluid and is thickened with a special tetrafluoroethylene gelling agent. This grease is nonflammable and is chemically inert. It offers excellent lubricity, thermal stability, low volatility, good shear stability and low acute toxicity. Castrol Fluoroclean™ X100 and Castrol Fluoroclean™ HE can be used to remove this lubricant. Refer to the data sheets for information regarding these products.

Application

Braycote Micronic 1613 is designed to lubricate gyros, gears, ball and roller bearings, in the presence of fuels, oxidizers and deep space vacuums and for use as an assembly lubricant for O-rings and elastomers. This product is recommended for use in applications where temperature extremes and high vacuums are routine. Perfluorinated greases, in general, exhibit excellent shelf lives due to their intrinsic inertness.

User advice

Limitations
