Product Description
The Tribolube 71 O2 Compatible Lubricant Tube contains 57 gram (2 ounce} of PFPE grease for static and dynamic applications. Tribolube 71 is designed for open and closed circuit diving systems.
Tribolube Oxygen-Compatible Lubricant
The Aerospace Lubricants Tribolube® line of products are designed specifically for scuba diving applications. With over 35 years of background science, Tribolube offers superior extreme pressure and anti-wear properties, thus extending equipment life by dramatically reducing corrosion. Tribolube is a synthetic lubricant that is chemically inert, oxygen-compatible, non-migrating, odourless, non-toxic, and non-flammable.
Tribolube 71 is designed for open and closed circuit diving systems. This O2 safe lubricant is compatible with all O-ring seals and materials used in the scuba industry. Tribolube also offers significantly reduced residue buildup in comparison to other oxygen compatible lubricants.
TRIBOLUBE 71 primary characteristic is that it uses PTFE that has not been irradiated. Non-irradiated PTFE over long term exposure has demonstrated it does not corrode aluminium or anodised aluminium. Tribolube-71 has a very wide temperature range, nonreactive with strong acids, oxygen, fuels, and solvents. It is an excellent anti-wear, extreme pressure lubricant with long life. Tribolube-71 is qualified to MIL-PRF-27617 types 1, 2 and 3.
Applications: TRIBOLUBE-71 is intended for use in scuba applications as well in small and large diameter ball, roller, needle, and plain bearings, threads, valves, gears, and screw actuators. It is compatible with most elastomers and plastic seals, gaskets and O-rings. Although this lubricant is very inert, newly exposed rubbing surfaces of aluminium and magnesium may react with the greases under certain conditions.
