ARF (Shanghai) Advanced Materials Technology Co., Ltd. specializes in supplying Chemours Krytox GPL 104 PFPE (perfluoropolyether) fluorinated lubricant oil. This product is suitable for medium-to-high load bearings, valves, seals, O-rings, sliding parts, oxygen systems, semiconductor equipment, and chemical equipment lubrication. It features non-flammability, chemical inertness, high-temperature resistance, low volatility, and long-lasting lubrication.
Product Overview
Krytox GPL 104 is a medium-to-high viscosity PFPE fluorinated lubricant oil in the Chemours Krytox GPL series. The product is a transparent liquid with excellent chemical stability, non-flammability, low volatility, and material compatibility, suitable for equipment where mineral or synthetic oils cannot provide long-term reliable lubrication.
Compared to Krytox GPL 103, GPL 104 has higher viscosity and a thicker lubricating film, suitable for medium-to-high load bearings, valves, and seals. Compared to higher viscosity grades like GPL 105, GPL 106, and GPL 107, GPL 104 maintains acceptable flowability, making it ideal for equipment that requires both thick oil films and precise lubrication.

Key Features
-
Medium-to-High Viscosity PFPE Oil with Thick Film
Krytox GPL 104 provides a thick oil film and excellent lubrication retention, suitable for medium-to-high load bearings, valves, and seals while maintaining moderate flow for precision equipment.
-
Strong Chemical Inertness
The PFPE base is chemically stable and can resist acids, bases, solvents, oxidizing gases, and chemical media, making it suitable for chemical, semiconductor, and oxygen system applications.
-
Non-Flammable, High Safety
Suitable for oxygen systems, specialty gas equipment, and high-safety equipment, reducing the risk of combustion and oxidation.
-
Good Flow at Low-to-Medium Temperatures
With a lower operating limit of approx. -55°C, GPL 104 supports low-temperature start-up and sliding lubrication while maintaining stable film at medium-to-high temperatures.
-
Medium-to-High Load Lubrication
Suitable for bearings, valves, seals, sliding parts, O-rings, and automation components, providing a thick oil film and extended lubrication interval.
-
Compatibility with Metals, Plastics, and Elastomers
Compatible with most metals, plastics, and elastomers. Compatibility testing is recommended before application.
Main Applications
-
Medium-to-High Load Bearings: Motor bearings, fan bearings, conveyor bearings
-
Valves and Seals: Gas valves, oxygen valves, chemical valves, O-rings, sealing components
-
Semiconductor Equipment Lubrication: Precision transmissions, valves, seals, and medium-to-low load bearings
-

-
Chemical Equipment Lubrication: Pumps, valves, instruments, and seal assemblies under medium-to-high load conditions
-
Precision Machinery: Low-temperature startup, precision sliding parts, and instruments
Differences Between Krytox GPL 103, 104, and 105
-
GPL 103: Medium viscosity, suitable for medium-load bearings, valves, and seals
-
GPL 104: Medium-to-high viscosity with thicker film, suitable for medium-to-high load and long-lasting lubrication
-
GPL 105: Higher viscosity with thicker film, suitable for high-temperature heavy-load and long-life lubrication applications
Selection Recommendations
When selecting Krytox GPL 104, consider:
-
Requirement for a thicker film and higher load capacity than GPL 103
-
Application on medium-to-high load bearings, valves, or seals
-
Low-temperature start-up or medium-to-high temperature operation
-
Exposure to oxygen or specialty gases
-
Exposure to chemical media
-
Need for low volatility, low contamination, and long-lasting lubrication
-
Compatibility with plastics, rubber, O-rings, or specialty sealing materials
-
Availability of TDS, SDS, COA documentation
Usage Notes
-
Clean existing lubricant before use to avoid incompatibility
-
PFPE oils should not be mixed with conventional lubricants
-
Perform compatibility testing with materials
-
Follow manufacturer recommendations in high-safety or special applications
-
GPL 104 is medium-to-high viscosity, suitable for medium-to-high load and precision lubrication, not recommended for low-load or high-flow applications
FAQ
Q1: What is Krytox GPL 104?
A: Medium-to-high viscosity PFPE fluorinated lubricant oil, suitable for medium-to-high load bearings, valves, seals, and semiconductor equipment.
Q2: Is GPL 104 oil or grease?
A: Lubricant oil, not grease. Grease equivalents are in Krytox GPL 200 series.
