Apiezon AP 101 Anti-Seize Vacuum Grease, Silicone Free, Hydrocarbon, Pack of Five 50-Gram Tubes, AP-100

Product Overview - Apiezon AP 101 Anti-Seize Vacuum Grease:

The Apiezon AP 101 grease family of hydrocarbon high vacuum greases has been serving the market for a number of years and includes products highly regarded worldwide for their quality, consistency, and excellent performance within vacuum applications. Apiezon AP 101 greases are silicone-free and highly resistant to creep, referring to the undesirable phenomenon traditionally associated with silicone-based lubricant products.

Apiezon AP 101 grease is a silicone-free, excellent general purpose hydrocarbon grease, intended for usage in a variety of industrial and scientific applications. Apiezon AP 101 is likewise a specialist vacuum grease containing PTFE, which confers superior anti-seize properties - providing glass and metal surfaces with long-lasting lubrication and protection from the effects of fusing and corrosion.

Apiezon AP 101 vacuum grease is ideally suited for use in low-to-medium range vacuum applications featuring a vapor pressure below 10^[-5] Torr at 20 degrees Celsius. It has anti-seize properties, making it an effective protector and lubricant for metal surfaces that may regularly be subject to seizure or corrosion. Apiezon AP 101 is insoluble in most solvents and is resistant to water, alcohols, ketones, and esters. It likewise resists attack from aqueous acid and alkali solutions, alcoholic alkali solutions and corrosive gases. As a key advantage, Apiezon AP 101 does not suffer from the contamination problems associated with silicone-based greases, particularly 'creep' or 'carry over'. AP 101 is relatively easy to clean and remove using hot water and an aqueous glassware detergent, hydrocarbon, or chlorinated solvents.

Apiezon AP 101 Anti-Seize Vacuum Grease - Product Applications:

With its superior anti-seize properties, Apiezon AP 101 is typically used to maintain the smooth operation of stopcocks and taps utilized in scientific and industrial settings. Coupled with simplified separation of ground or polished glass joints, Apiezon AP 101 is an excellent general purpose grease for laboratory use.

The utility of Apiezon AP 101's anti-seize properties is not limited to laboratory or glassware use, but is equally effective when used on metal equipment which may otherwise be subject to seizure or corrosion. Just a minimal amount of AP 101 on fastenings which, when exposed to corrosive environments would normally jam solid, will ensure they are protected.

Furthermore, Apiezon AP 101 is an excellent general purpose grease for sealing joints and is ideal for use in critical lubrication conditions such as highly-stressed bearings. As a hydrocarbon-based lubricant, AP 101 does not suffer from the problems of 'creep' or 'carry over' - conditions that are traditionally associated with silicone greases. It reduces sample contamination and, consequently, the risk of contaminants interfering with analytical techniques such as infrared and mass spectrometry. Finally, Apiezon AP 101 can be confidently applied in paint spraying and metal deposition processes.
