Kryotox for wheel bearings?

Way to take it to a weird place while we are talking quantum physics....

What about AIRSPACE
Airspace[1] is the portion of the atmosphere controlled by a country above its territory, including its territorial waters or, more generally, any specific three-dimensional portion of the atmosphere. It is not the same as aerospace, which is the general term for Earth's atmosphere and the outer space in its vicinity.
Within the United States:

The Krytox GPL 22X series contains sodium nitrite corrosion/anti-wear inhibitor; it also improves load carrying performance and is ideal for corrosive environments. Typical applications are automotive bearings, sealed pump bearings, electric motor bearings, and general-purpose bearings.

Automotive: Wheel bearing grease, CV joint grease, universal joint grease, fan clutch bearing grease, emission air pump grease, spark plug boot lubricant, weather stripping lubricant, sunroof seal lubricant, clutch throw out bearing grease, ABS system grease, paint plant conveyor bearings, paint spray system valve lubrication, gasoline pump bearings, windshield wiper motors, oil pressure sensors, truck window lift mechanism, sintered bearings in motors, leather seats, consoles and trim, flocked and unflocked window seals and channels, door handles, switches, air vents, controls

Greases are formed by mixing the base oil with a thickener to form a grease. Krytox greases use a special high-thickening efficiency, low molecular weight polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) with very small particle sizes as their thickener. This is one of the most thermally stable thickeners for high-temperature, long-term greases. The higher thickening efficiency of the special PTFE thickener allows Chemours to formulate grease to
maximize oil content for improved grease performance.
Greases can be formulated with different viscosity oils to handle different temperatures and load conditions. High viscosity oils can be used in greases for high temperatures, heavy loads, or low speed applications.
Low viscosity oils can be used in greases where low temperature properties are important or speeds are higher. Lower amounts of thickener form softer or more fluid-like greases. Higher solid levels form harder, stiffer
greases. Additives are often added to the grease to enhance anti-corrosion protection, raise load carrying ability, or help reduce wear.

So how different is "Krytox" from Lithium grease.

 

[Dirtman]

I am in no way knocking the use of a better product. But, I use valvoline heavy duty synthetic wheel bearing grease in everything from my truck, boat, trailer, to my friends 900hp racecar. Never had a premature bearing failure. At some point it just becomes a matter of the technology of product A being more advanced than product B will ever require. Product A being your super grease, product B being a wheel bearing of a terrestrial vehicle. But hey if you get it free why not? I would. I use all sorts of overkill stuff I get from the military because it's free and why not...

Its food grade and environmental friendly. But other than that it's got anti corrosive good shit in it. I am an electrician and maintenance technician for a food grade box making factory we have to run this in some of our high heat machinery 360+ degree Fahrenheit that run 24/7 and we have leftover open tubes all the time after planned maintenance so I can get it for FREE

 

[Dirtman]

As I said... if it's free, why not...

I get alot of stuff free that I would never ever buy lol.

 

[1987ranger12394]

Annnnnd if I run it in my truck it technically counts as a first gen space ranger in my book
!SPACE TRUCK!

If I recall, Krytox is also safe to use in an oxygen-rich atmosphere. Not that we need that on our Rangers.

cool. Who do you work for? I spent several years in maintenance at a corrugated box plant in Lexington, SC. Owned by International Paper, but formerly a Temple Inland plant.

 

[1987ranger12394]

Carolina container in nc now owned by the Indi group, lol i wasnt sure if anyone new boxes were corrugated on here figured I'd say it and get a "what's that" so I just stuck to box factory lol

Unless I weld the cab shut and install oxygen tanks for my own air supply for a scuba ranger

You may need it if you ever decide to go "Space Truckin'" in your Ranger.

Every day I dream of space trucking...... one day there will be a ford ranger personal intergalactic vehicle

 

[Dirtman]

Didnt we once figure out the miles of the ford ranger vs trips to the moon or something? Someone sober back me up here but I definitely remember us discussing the mileage to the moon vs someone's truck?
