Castrol Braycote Micronic 700

Grease, Rocket Propellant Compatible Low Temperature

Description

Castrol Braycote Micronic 700 is a smooth, buttery, translucent off-white colored, NLGI #2 grease. It uses Castrol Brayco 815Z as the base fluid and a tetrafluoroethylene telomer as the gelling agent. This product was specially formulated to provide exceptional anti-wear properties, in combination with ultra low outgassing and extreme temperature use capabilities. Braycote Micronic 700 exhibits superior chemical resistance, and is non-toxic, nonflammable, chemically inert, and does not use any chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's) during product manufacture. It has excellent lubricating properties, good shear stability, low acute toxicity, and promotes extended rolling element cycle lives. Castrol Fluoroclean™ X100 can be used to remove this lubricant. Refer to the data sheet for Fluoroclean X100 for information regarding this product.

Application

Braycote Micronic 700 is designed to operate in the presence of fuels, oxidizers, and in applications of deep space vacuum at low temperatures. It is used in gears, ball and roller bearings, electrical contacts, and "O" rings. This grease is highly recommended for applications where temperature extremes and/or low vacuums are routine, such as cryogenic coolers, FLIR, laser optical systems, or hostile chemical environments. 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 Micronic 700 is compatible with all commonly utilized materials, plastics, and elastomers. It may be adversely affected by Lewis Acid Catalysts, such as AlC13,, at elevated temperatures. Newly exposed rubbing surfaces of aluminum, magnesium and titanium 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. Braycote Micronic 700 is not recommended for use in applications under high vacuum with loads exceeding 100,000 psi for extended periods of time.

Packaging

Braycote Micronic 700 is packaged in 2 oz (AVDP) disposable polypropylene syringes.
