PTFE Greases and PTFE Lubricants
Natural Prime for PTFE Greases & Lubricants
Fluoro GE
Fluoro GE sub-micron PTFE are powders made from emulsion grade Natural Prime PTFE. These products cover a range of molecular weights to determine dispersability, thickening and performance properties. Due to the small particle size, the GE products have a larger specific surface area when compared to other PTFE.

Recycled PTFE for Greases & Lubricants
Fluoro GT
Fluoro GT PTFE micro powders are made from highly crystalline, sintered PTFE. These products can be added with minimal to no change to the viscosity of the system. They impart excellent lubricity and wear resistance.
Product | Mean Particle Size (µm) | Cone Penetration | Bulk Density |
---|---|---|---|
Method | ISO 13320 | ASTM D217 | ASTM D4894 |
Fluoro GT 105-RC | ~ 5 µm | 400-475 1/10mm | 400-700 g/l |
Fluoro GT 130-RC | 25-35 µm | >475 1/10mm | 450-650 g/l |
