Apiezon® N grease

A range of Apiezon® greases is offered for use on high vacuum systems and for many general applications in the laboratory. The high purity greases are non-toxic, are easy to apply and clean off and have long shelf lives.

Choice of grease depends largely on operating temperature.

Features and Benefits

  • A range of Apiezon® greases is offered for use on high vacuum systems and for many general applications in the laboratory.
  • The high purity greases are non-toxic, are easy to apply and clean off and have long shelf lives.

Applications

  • Lubrication of glass and metal taps in vacuum systems
  • Sealing polymer joints in vacuum systems
  • Leak detection
  • Protecting metal contacts in vacuum-encapsulated relays
  • Sealing polished and ground glass/metal surfaces
  • Optical surfaces in vacuum systems and laser systems - does not cause clouding (L and M greases only)
  • Non vacuum uses include lubrication of glass and metal taps in laboratory, medical and industrial applications
  • Good “gettering” qualities (absorbs grease and chemical impurities) - ideal for electronics industry
