Apiezon Grease; Type L

Grease L is a petroleum hydrocarbon grease, containing no additives. Very low vapor pressure (@20°C of 8×10-11 torr), high vacuum grade. Type L is widely used in the stationary phase of gas liquid chromatography, and may be used on all ground joints in a vacuum system (not for stopcocks). Its solubility is as follows: in Ethanol at 20°C-0.003%; 60°C-0.005%; 100°C-0.011%; 150°C-0.011%. Grease L softens and melts at about 47°C and it is not recommended for joints where temperatures exceed more than 30°C in use. Grease T is recommended for these higher temperatures.

Description

Excellent lubricants
High purity, low vapor pressure – non-contamination in analysis
The working temperature range of each grease is dependent on the grade that is used
Easily applied, easily cleaned off
Silicone free. This benefits scientific users because the risk of sample contamination and consequently the risk of interference in analytical techniques such as infra-red or mass spctrometry, etc. is avoided
Approved by NASA and NATO
