Pefluoropolyether Lubricants as Problem Solvers

Wednesday, September 17 2008 Live Presentation:
Wed., Sept., 17, 2008 2:00 PM EDT

Lubricants are often an after-thought in the design of severe-duty components for industrial, automotive, aerospace or other applications. Engineers often rely on traditional lubricants during the initial design stage. When these systems fail in performance testing, design engineers realize that a premium-performing lubricant, such as DuPont™ Krytox® PFPE (perfluoropolyether), is required to meet system performance and life-time requirements.

With DuPont™ Krytox® PFPE lubricants, design engineers can integrate high performance and longevity into critical components during those critical stages of design. Building on the information presented in our previous webinar, we will discuss some more of the specific strengths of the DuPont™ Krytox® product lines.

In this webinar, we will:

• Review strengths of PFPE-based lubricants
  
• Explore performance attributes of Krytox® custom-formulated products
  
• Dispel mythso on PFPE performance weaknesses
  
• Discuss appropriate analytical techniques when used with PFPE lubricants
