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.

Applications include:

• 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
