Product Description
Krytox GPL205 Grease features an effective temperature range of -36C thru 204C. Base oil viscosity, 18cSt @ 100 C / 160cSt @ 40 C. Oil separation from grease, wt loss, % per 30hr @ 99C = 4. NLG1 Grade 2. Krytox GPL205 contains no additives and can be used on components that may come in contact with all chemicals including acids, bases, solvents and other reactive chemicals. Typical applications include valves, bearings, seal barrier fluids, instruments and oxygen systems. Additionally, Krytox Grease is compatible with all elastomeric seal materials and engineering plastics. See Krytox Greases GPL202 through GPL207 for applications that require higher temperature ranges and high viscosity needs. See Krytox Greases GPL215 and GPL217 for slow speeds or extreme pressure applications that require molybdenum disulfide additives. See Krytox Greases GPL224 through GPL227 for high pressure, highly corrosive environments such as automotive bearings, sealed pump bearings, and electric motors bearings that require anti- corrosion/anti-wear inhibitor additives. Krytox Grease provides exceptional performance, stability, and reliability in the toughest conditions – to maximize productivity and equipment life. Krytox Grease is undamaged by, and non-reactive with, acidic or caustic cleaners and disinfectants, steam, moisture or high temps. Krytox Grease is non-toxic, has no chlorine content or hazardous VOC materials, is odorless and silicone-free in formulation.
From the manufacturer
Krytox High Performance Synthetic Lubricants
Premium grease and oil for bearings, valves, seals, and other applications over a wide temperature range and under extreme conditions
Krytox High Performance Synthetic Lubricants
Extreme Conditions Require Extreme Performance
Krytox oils and greases are based on perfluoropolyether (PFPE) oils. This series of synthetic fluorinated lubricants are used in extreme conditions, such as high temperatures up to 204 °C (400 °F), and will survive short-term peak temperatures of up to 220 °C (429°F). Chemically inert and safe for use around hazardous chemicals, these lubricants are nonflammable and also safe for use in oxygen service. Krytox oils and greases do not damage plastics or elastomers, nor cause corrosion to metals. They are commonly used as lubricants in aerospace, automotive, industrial, and semiconductor applications, as well as in solving many other routine lubrication problems. In addition, they provide exceptionally long lifetimes in sealed-for-life bearings and extend re-lubrication intervals in bearings that require re-lubrication.
Biologically Inert While Retaining High Temperature and Pressure Stability
Krytox oils and greases are silicone free. They do not contain any VOC materials or chlorine, and are not hazardous to the atmosphere or ozone layer. They are biologically and environmentally inert.
The fully fluorinated Krytox high-temperature stability provides bottom-line savings from improved reliability, and a reduction in grease usage and manpower through extended re-lubrication intervals. Excellent film strength reduces wear to reduce maintenance costs. Under high loads, the viscosity increases to provide support and absorb the pressure.
A Multitude of Applications
For those who regularly manage lubrication issues, every day is a fight against the forces of excess friction, vibration and wear. Krytox oils, greases and solvents offer advanced lubricant solutions for a broad variety of industrial applications including: bearings and sintering bearings, electric motors, functional fluids, gearboxes, extreme temperatures, o-rings, seals, and valves.
Krytox Performance Lubricants are:
- Formulated for many applications and industries
- Able to help increase maintenance intervals
- Highly stable in extreme conditions
- Chemically inert
- Insoluble in water
- Safe for seals and bearings
- Non-flammable
- Long-lasting, needing less re-lubrication so you’ll use less
- Nontoxic and NSF H1-certified for food use
- Can be regenerated

Expensive, but worth it. You don't need very much. I keep the tube in my truck and hit the sunroof with a little bead a few times a year.
Exactly what I needed
Prior to application, the sunroof would make a creaking noise almost to the point that I thought my glass was shattering due to the noise. After application the once cringe-worthy noise was gone. I am completely blown away and it's almost as if I'm driving a different vehicle due to the peace of mind I now have.
I used almost the entire tube, I have some left over in the chance I need to make any minor additions later on. Likely has to be re-applied every six-months/season.
I used these to lubricate Cherry Silent Reds, aka Pinks. If you all are familiar with Cherry switches, they are VERY scratchy. And with the Silent Reds, the scratchy sound is very pronounced because the rest of the switch is so quiet. Not only can you hear the scratch, but you can actually feel it through your fingertips.
Since this is 205g2 and a lot thicker than 205g0, I decided to be VERY conservative in my application. For perspective, 205g2 has a consistency/viscosity akin to Neosporin on a cold morning.
I got the 0.5 oz tube. After fully lubricating my 60% keyboard, I used maybe 0.1oz. Yes, I still have more than 80% of the tube remaining.
How I applied the lube? I used a fine brush. I put enough lubricant on the brush to get the brush shiny, with no lubricant visible other than the sheen of the brush. I brushed the base rails and spring holder. I brushed the spring. I brushed the stem rails and switch actuator prongs.
So what were the results? Simply Amazing! This is now the quietest keyboard I have ever used. Every once in a while, I hear a very subtle thock every once in a while when I bottom out a key, especially the space bar. But the thock is subdued by the Silent Reds, and it's such a pleasing sound...think ASMR. The biggest concern I had with using this lubricant was that the keys would become sluggish, as it is thicker than I wanted. With my very conservative application, I am experience no sluggishness or resistance. Keys are popping back up as fast as I need them to, and there is no mushiness.
From one keyboard enthusiast who used a VERY conservative amount of this lubricant on my Cherry Silent Reds(pink) switches, I can tell you...get this lubricant if you are needing some high quality dielectric lubricant for your switches. I am confident that I could lubricate FIVE 60% keyboards with just a 0.5 oz tube. That's 4 dollars of lubricant per keyboard at current prices. Well worth it in my opinion. I couldn't be happier. I am currently using my freshly lubricated keyboard to write this review, and I have never been so satisfied typing.
