Fluoro GS 125 is a free-flowing, easily dispersed PTFE micropowder. It provides friction reduction, improved wear protection, and some thickening. In our efforts to constantly improve, Shamrock has been working to develop PTFE micropowders for the grease and lubricant market. We have been determining thickening efficiency with the cone penetrometer using a 50/50 mixture in a PAO6 base oil and wear resistance according to ASTM D 2266 with the 4 Ball Tester in order to provide the industry with PTFE data that relates to grease properties.

Applications & Uses

Recommended Uses & Known Applications

Fluoro GS 125 is suggested for grease applications where a 10 – 12 micron particle size is called for. The 4-ball test may not be as meaningful as other wear test methods at this particle size.
