Castrol Braycote 803 RP

Perfluoroether Grease, Rust Inhibited Wide Temperature, Low Volatility

Description

Castrol Braycote® 803RP is a smooth, buttery, off-white NLGI#2 grease, based on perfluoropolyether oil (Castrol Brayco® 812) and thickened with a tetrafluoroethylene gelling agent. It contains a rust and corrosion inhibitor for ferric component protection. Castrol Braycote® 803RP is thermally stable in air, vacuum, strong acids and oxidizers. Castrol Fluoroclean™ X 100 or Castrol Fluoroclean™ HE can be used to clean this product. Refer to the data sheets for information regarding these products.

Application

Castrol Braycote® 803RP was developed for use in applications in which long- term exposure to high temperature or hard vacuum is expected. This product is fully compatible for use in direct or indirect contact with Liquid and Gaseous Oxygen (LOX/GOX). Castrol Braycote® 803RP is stable with exposure to strong acids and oxidizers. Perfluorinated greases, in general, exhibit excellent shelf lives due to their intrinsic inertness.

Additional Information

Temperature Range

Below -62ºC to above 260ºC (below -80ºF to above 499ºF). Lower temperature operation below -62ºC (-80ºF) is possible where adequate torque is available.

Compatibility

Castrol Braycote® 803RP is compatible with all commonly used construction materials including metals, plastics and elastomers. Lewis Acids, such as aluminum chloride, can adversely affect any PFPE grease at elevated temperature. Newly exposed rubbing surfaces of aluminum, magnesium or titanium at elevated temperatures may react with Castrol Braycote® 803RP under certain conditions. Such systems should be thoroughly evaluated. Surfaces must be well cleaned of organic rust inhibitors prior to grease application to ensure proper lubrication.

Packaging

Castrol Braycote® 803RP is available in 2 ounce (AVDP) disposable plastic syringes and 1 pound plastic jars.
