Perfluoropolyether grease has excellent high temperature resistance, chemical corrosion resistance and wear resistance, and is often used in extreme environments (such as aerospace, semiconductor equipment, precision instruments, etc.). However, if it is found to be too viscous during use, it may affect the lubrication effect or equipment operation. The following is a detailed analysis and treatment method for its "too sticky" problem:


Analysis of the reasons for excessive viscosity
1. Improper selection of base oil viscosity: The viscosity of perfluoropolyether grease is determined by the viscosity of the base oil (perfluoropolyether). If the viscosity grade of the selected base oil is too high (such as ISO viscosity grade greater than 460), it will show obvious stickiness at room temperature.
2. Excessive thickener content: The content of thickener (such as polytetrafluoroethylene PTFE) in the grease is too high, which will increase the overall viscosity (such as NLGI grade exceeding No. 2), and thus appear more viscous.
3. The operating temperature is too low: The optimal operating temperature of perfluoropolyether grease is usually -20℃~260℃. If the ambient temperature is lower than its applicable lower limit, the fluidity of the base oil decreases, which will cause the grease to thicken.
4. Contamination or deterioration: After the grease comes into contact with water, dust or chemical media, the structure may change, resulting in an abnormal increase in viscosity.

Specific treatment methods
1. Adjust the use environment or increase the temperature under working conditions: If the viscosity is caused by low temperature, the grease can be restored to fluidity by preheating the equipment or increasing the ambient temperature. Reduce the load or speed: High-viscosity grease may increase friction under high-speed or heavy-load conditions. The operating intensity of the equipment can be temporarily reduced to observe whether the viscosity affects the performance.
2. Dilution treatment (caution required) Use special diluent: Perfluoropolyether grease needs to be diluted with fluorinated solvents, and avoid using ordinary organic solvents (such as ethanol, acetone) to prevent damage to the grease structure. Note: Dilution may shorten the lubrication life of the grease. It is only suitable for temporary adjustments, and it is recommended to operate under the guidance of professionals.
3. Replace the appropriate type of grease to reduce the viscosity of the base oil: choose a perfluoropolyether grease with a lower viscosity grade. Adjust the consistency grade: reduce the NLGI grade from No. 2 to No. 1 or No. 0, the consistency is softer and the fluidity is better. Consult the supplier: provide the equipment operating conditions (temperature, load, speed) and the existing grease model, and professionals will recommend the appropriate product.

Precautions
Avoid mixing: Mixing perfluoropolyether grease with other types of grease (such as lithium-based grease and silicone-based grease) may cause structural damage and aggravate the viscosity problem.
Safety protection: Wear gloves and protective tools during operation and operate in a well-ventilated environment.
Performance test: After any adjustment, the fluidity, lubrication effect and equipment operating temperature of the grease must be tested on a small range of equipment first, and then fully applied after confirming that there is no abnormality.

In industrial production, EPDM seals are widely used due to their excellent

weather resistance, heat resistance and aging resistance. However, many

companies have encountered problems when choosing lubricants for these

seals——used reacts chemically with the seal ring, causing the seal ring to age

rapidly and even leak, which not only affects production efficiency but also

increases maintenance costs.
For EPDM cylinder rubber rings, choosing the right lubricant is crucial.
First of all, ensure that the lubricating oil has good compatibility with

EPDM rubber to avoid chemical reactions that may cause aging and deformation of

the sealing ring.
Secondly, consider the working environment and temperature of the sealing

ring, and choose lubricating oil with low friction coefficient and high thermal

conductivity to reduce friction heat and wear. When applying, it should be

applied evenly and in appropriate amounts to avoid leakage caused by excessive

application.





In addition, please make sure that the seals and lubricants are clean before

use to avoid damage from impurities. During use, check the application of

lubricants regularly to ensure that the seals are always in good

lubrication.
When choosing a suitable lubricant for EPDM seals, not only its physical

properties should be considered, but also the actual working conditions and

usage requirements should be combined to ensure the stable operation of the

cylinder system.

In modern industrial testing, every test data point is crucial to product reliability and safety. When a 7005 bearing in a piece of bearing testing equipment worth $500,000 is required to operate continuously for hundreds of hours at ultra-high speeds of 15,000 rpm and temperatures of 350°C, conventional greases often struggle. Jialede's perfluoropolyether grease, specifically developed for these extreme conditions, is becoming a key guarantee for reliable operation of the testing equipment.

Bearing testing equipment places extremely stringent demands on lubricants. At 15,000 rpm, the 7005 bearing generates extremely high shear rates and centrifugal forces between the rolling elements and raceways. The operating temperature of 350°C far exceeds the tolerance of fluoropolymer grease. Hundreds of hours of continuous operation require the grease to possess exceptional durability and stability. Any lubrication failure can lead to skewed test data and even damage testing equipment worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Developed specifically for extreme operating conditions, GF's perfluoropolyether grease utilizes a specially synthesized polyether base oil and a highly effective additive system, delivering exceptional performance:
1. Ultra-High-Temperature Stability: Its molecular structure ensures that the perfluoropolyether grease maintains lubrication even at temperatures up to 350°C without leaching or coking, ensuring long-lasting lubrication.
2. High-Speed Adaptability: Its excellent viscosity-temperature characteristics and shear stability form a stable oil film at high speeds, reducing bearing wear.
3. Long-Term Durability: Its exceptional resistance to oxidation and aging ensures effective protection even after hundreds of hours of continuous operation.

As a professional supplier of lubrication and sealing materials, Jialede is committed to providing customers with high-performance, reliable solutions. Recently, we received an inquiry from the world's second-largest geophysical exploration company. They have been using Dow Corning DC111 silicone grease to seal the electronic components of their drilling equipment to prevent water molecules from entering and protect the components from damage caused by high-temperature and high-pressure environments.


These types of equipment operate in extremely harsh environments: temperatures can reach 120 to 200°C, and pressures can reach 100 MPa. While the existing Dow Corning DC111 offers excellent performance, it is also expensive. The customer has tried other alternatives, such as Great Wall 7501 silicone grease, but these failed to meet the sealing and high-temperature resistance requirements. The silicone grease on the components must be completely replaced after each well run to ensure reliable operation for periods ranging from one week to several months. With an annual consumption of 1.5 tons, this poses a significant challenge to both cost and supply stability.


After thoroughly analyzing our customer's needs, we recommended our high-temperature, high-pressure silicone grease alternative to Dow Corning DC111, specifically addressing its core performance indicators. Our model, YBS-1672, is comparable to Dow Corning DC111 in terms of high-temperature resistance, high-pressure resistance, insulation performance, and sealing, while offering better cost-effectiveness. It is perfectly suited for long-term, extreme operating environments. We can arrange sample delivery for customers to test in real-world equipment environments, ensuring the reliability of the alternative.



Whether it's waterproof sealing of electronic components or lubrication protection in extreme environments, we can provide customized solutions to help customers reduce costs and ensure efficient equipment operation in complex conditions.
