Tackier than gear box grease, this grease sticks to open gears and roller chain. It resists moisture for corrosion protection and can lubricate under heavy loads.

NLGI viscosity grade is a rating of a grease's consistency. NLGI 2 is about the consistency of peanut butter. Synthetic-oil-based grease lasts longer than mineral-oil-based grease and withstands a wider range of temperatures.

Grease with PTFE thickener has good heat, moisture, and oxidation resistance.

Grease with moly (molybdenum disulfide) has excellent resistance to wear and can withstand high-load and high-pressure applications.

Grease lubricates most efficiently within the listed temperature range. Melting temperature is the point at which grease will fail and run out of equipment, leaving it to run dry. Nonmelting grease can be used at temperatures above the maximum temperature briefly, but then will break down more quickly.

Chemours Krytox™ GPL 215 withstands high loads and pressure. It handles extreme temperature swings, resists aggressive chemicals, such as acids and oxygen, and is long lasting with an indefinite shelf life.
