Castrol Braycote 602 EF

Grease, Molybdenum Disulfide Compound, Rocket Propellant Compatible, Low Temperature

Description

Castrol Braycote 602 EF is a smooth, buttery, gray colored NLGI #2 grease. The base fluid (Castrol Brayco® 815Z) is a stable perfluorinated polyether with exceptional chemical resistance, extremely low volatility, and a wide temperature service range. The gelling agent is a tetrafluoroethylene telomer. This grease contains molybdenum disulfide. This product is nonflammable, does not use any chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's) during product manufacture, and is in general, chemically inert. It is an excellent lubricant, has good shear stability, and low acute toxicity. Castrol Fluoroclean™ X100 or Castrol Fluoroclean™ HE can be used to remove this lubricant. Refer to the data sheets for these products for more information.

Application

Braycote 602 EF is designed to operate in the presence of fuels, oxidizers, and deep space vacuums. Typical applications include ball and roller bearings, gears, electrical contracts, and as an assembly lubricant for O-rings and elastomers. This grease is highly recommended in applications where temperature extremes and/or low vacuums are routine. Perfluorinated greases, such as this product, exhibit excellent shelf life due to their intrinsic inertness.

Additional Information

Temperature Range

-80ºC to 204ºC (-112ºF to 400ºF)

Limitations

Braycote 602 EF is compatible with most commonly utilized materials, plastics, and elastomers. It may be adversely affected by Lewis Acid catalysts such as aluminum chloride, at elevated temperatures. Newly exposed rubbing surfaces of aluminum, magnesium or titanium alloys may react with this product under certain conditions. Such systems should be thoroughly evaluated. Surfaces must be well cleaned of organic rust inhibitors prior to grease application to insure proper lubrication. This product is not recommended for use in applications under high vacuum with loads exceeding 100,000 psi for extended periods of time.

Packaging

Braycote 602 EF is packaged in 2 oz (AVDP) and 4 oz disposable plastic syringes and 1 pound jars.
