XYC IR 83-22 1KG PFPE Grease for Plastic Bearings and Low Temperature Lubrication
XYC IR 83-22 PFPE Grease for Long Life Lubrication
XYC IR 83-22 is a fully synthetic long-life lubricating grease based on perfluoropolyether (PFPE) oil and PTFE solid lubricant. This PFPE grease is designed for lubrication points requiring low friction, long service life and resistance to many aggressive chemical media.
Its dynamically light formulation makes it suitable for selected rolling bearings, plain bearings and friction points involving plastics and elastomers. As a specialized plastic bearing grease, XYC IR 83-22 is designed to help components operate smoothly, particularly where low starting torque and low running torque are important.
The formulation also supports chemical resistant lubrication in suitable environments. Before use, confirm compatibility with the specific chemicals, component materials and operating conditions.
Low Temperature Lubrication Performance
XYC IR 83-22 has a specified service temperature range from approximately -40°C to +80°C. Its dynamically light consistency is designed to support smooth movement at low temperatures.
According to the product data, the starting torque at -40°C is less than 1000 mNm, while the running torque is less than 100 mNm under the specified test method. These characteristics make this PFPE grease suitable for evaluating in mechanisms where excessive starting resistance could affect performance.
For low-temperature bearings and sliding components, this plastic bearing grease can help support smooth movement. Its chemical resistant lubrication properties also make it a candidate for applications that combine cold operating conditions with exposure to aggressive chemical media.
PFPE and PTFE Lubricant Formulation
XYC IR 83-22 combines PFPE base oil with PTFE solid lubricant. This formulation is intended for demanding lubrication points where friction reduction and chemical resistance are important.
The grease is white and has a consistency between NLGI 1 and NLGI 2. Its base oil viscosity is approximately 25 mm²/s at 40°C and 5 mm²/s at 100°C.
As a specialized PFPE grease, XYC IR 83-22 can be considered for compatible bearings, gears and sliding components requiring long-term lubrication. Its suitability as a plastic bearing grease should be checked against the exact polymer or elastomer formulation, while the expected level of chemical resistant lubrication should be verified under the actual exposure conditions.
Plastic and Elastomer Compatibility
XYC IR 83-22 is developed for lubrication points involving sensitive plastics and elastomers. The source product information describes compatibility with most plastics and elastomers, with perfluorinated rubber noted as an exception.
This makes the product relevant to plastic guides, bearing assemblies, small gear drives and other mechanisms where lubricant compatibility with surrounding materials is important. As a plastic bearing grease, it should be tested with the actual component materials before series production.
Compatibility testing is especially important when components are exposed to chemical agents, cleaning products or other environmental influences. Selecting the correct PFPE grease helps support reliable operation, but the complete assembly must be assessed to establish suitable chemical resistant lubrication.
Chemical Resistance and Long Service Life
XYC IR 83-22 is designed for applications exposed to many aggressive chemical media. Its PFPE and PTFE formulation provides a specialized lubrication option for components that require resistance to demanding environments.
ThisPFPE grease can be considered for selected industrial and automotive mechanisms where long-term lubrication and material compatibility are important. However, the source documentation identifies fluorinated fluids as an exception to its stated chemical resistance. Compatibility should therefore be verified for the specific chemical exposure rather than assumed universally.
For suitable plastic bearing grease applications, appropriate material selection, surface preparation and lubricant quantity are essential. Confirming the chemical environment in advance helps establish whether the proposed chemical resistant lubrication system meets the requirements of the application.
Low Friction and Reduced Stick Slip
XYC IR 83-22 is formulated to provide low friction and a low tendency toward stick-slip movement. These characteristics are useful in sliding mechanisms where smooth and consistent movement is important.
Applications may include plastic guides, door locks, small gear drives and suitable bearing assemblies. This PFPE grease is designed to support long-term lubrication, while its dynamically light formulation makes it relevant to mechanisms requiring low starting and running torque.
For a plastic bearing grease application, actual friction performance depends on the contact materials, surface finish, load and movement pattern. Testing the assembled component can help determine whether the product provides the required chemical resistant lubrication and operating characteristics.
Automotive and Precision Engineering Applications
XYC IR 83-22 can be considered for selected automotive components, including door locks, plastic guides and small gear drives. It is also intended for rolling bearings, plain bearings and friction points involving plastics and elastomers.
In automotive and precision engineering applications, the combination of low-temperature performance, low friction and long-term lubrication can help support reliable component operation. This PFPE grease is particularly relevant where conventional lubricants may not meet the chemical resistance or material compatibility requirements.
When selecting a plastic bearing grease, confirm the operating temperature, torque requirements, chemical exposure and compatibility with all contacting materials. These checks help determine whether XYC IR 83-22 is appropriate for the intended chemical resistant lubricationapplication.
Product Specifications and Storage
XYC IR 83-22 is supplied in a 1KG package. Its documented service temperature range is -40°C to +80°C, its density is approximately 1.99 g/cm³ at 20°C, and its worked penetration is 290–310 × 0.1 mm at 25°C.
The stated minimum shelf life is approximately 36 months from manufacture when stored in an unopened original container under the specified dry, frost-free conditions.
Before use, confirm that the grease meets the application requirements and conduct preliminary testing where necessary. Proper storage, surface preparation and correct application help support the intended performance of this PFPE grease in suitable bearing and sliding applications.
