CASTROL BRAYCOTE 601EF
Castrol Braycote 601 EF - Chemically Inert Grease
Castrol Braycote 601 EF is a chemically inert grease designed to deliver high performance at a wide temperature range. It is specially formulated to operate in the presence of rocket fuels, oxidisers and high vacuum pressure thanks to its high chemical resistance. It contains a rust and corrosion inhibitor that can help to maximise the lifespan of vital components.
Thanks to the high performance it delivers, Castrol Braycote 601 EF is frequently used in space applications, including space shuttles and satellites. Its resistance to aggressive chemicals and very high load-carrying capabilities make it ideal for aerospace applications. This product is also suitable for any application where a hostile chemical or extreme environmental conditions would preclude the use of an ordinary grease.
Typical applications include ball and roller bearings, gears, and as an assembly lubricant for O-rings and elastomers. Like other perfluorinated greases, Braycote 601 EF is intrinsically inert, which gives it an extended shelf life compared to conventional aerospace greases.
A grease designed for low and high-temperature applications
Castrol Braycote 601 EF grease is the ideal solution for applications that need to operate under exposure to harsh chemicals and a wide range of temperatures. With corrosion resistance additives, Braycote 601 EF can extend the lifespan of equipment, reduce maintenance requirements and optimise performance, leading to cost savings over time. It is a reliable and high-performance choice for many aerospace applications.
The lubricant market is regularly subject to changes as new products are developed and replace existing ones. This can make procurement challenging, as it can be difficult to identify a replacement product when the lubricant you are used to using is discontinued. Without a detailed knowledge of the technical specifications you need or practical experience with particular products, it can be very difficult to find exactly what you need.
In these cases, the team at Broughton Lubricants can help. Our technical team has a wealth of expertise in aviation and aerospace applications. We can help you to understand the technical specifications you need and find the right lubricants for your application. If the product you need has been discontinued or replaced, our long-standing experience in the lubricants sector means we can direct you towards a suitable alternative product to one that is no longer available.
