Apiezon® Greases
A range of Apiezon® greases is offered for use on high vacuum
systems and for many general applications in the laboratory. These
high purity greases are non-toxic, easy to apply, easy to clean off and
have long shelf lives.
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
Choice of grease depends largely on operating temperature (see
