Klüberalfa GR ZLHT Vacuum Grease –
Temp Range (-65 to +200 (°C))
Long-term lubricating grease for a wide temperature range
Description
Klüberalfa GR ZLHT is a white long-term grease based on perfluorinated polyether (PFPE) oil and a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) thickener. The extremely high viscosity index, i.e. the very flat viscosity curve of the base oil, allows excellent sliding friction properties across a wide service temperature range.
Benefits
-
Long component life:
- over a wide service temperature range
- in contact with aggressive media
- where sensitive plastics are used
- under vacuum
Application
Klüberalfa GR ZLHT is preferably used for the lubrication of plastics and seals where it shows exceptionally low friction values and a low tendency to stick-slip. This leads, for example, to a lower frictional heating of elastomers subject to dynamic loads and hence longer component life.
General behavior towards elastomers and plastics:
Lubricants based on perfluorinated polyether oils and polytetrafluoroethylene are generally regarded as neutral towards most elastomers and plastics (possible exception: highly fluorinated rubber). Nevertheless, compatibility with the materials should be tested, especially prior to series application.
Application examples are:
- Electric motor bearings with a low starting and a high operating temperature
- Clean room equipment, e.g. slides, vacuum seals
- HVAC systems in the automotive industry
Application Notes
For optimum lubrication results, we recommend cleaning the friction points with white spirit 180/210 followed by Klüberalfa XZ 3-1. Then blow the surfaces with clean, dry compressed air or hot air to remove solvent residues. For initial lubrication, the friction points must be clean and bright, i.e. free from oil, grease and perspiration. Klüberalfa GR ZLHT is applied directly or by means of brush, spatula or lubricant dispenser.
The technical sales departments at Klüber Lubrication may be contacted at any time for advice to ensure optimum service life results.

Shelf Life
It is strongly recommended using all fluids and greases at the time of receipt, however when storage is necessary, rotate older stock into use first and observe the recommended parameters listed below.
Klüber Grease
Shelf Life of Klüber Grease is a minimum of 5 years; in this case although there won't be problems in terms of chemical stability there can be oil separation over time, which is normal.
