Comes with a resealable cap. 
Plunger and finger grips give excellent control on grease placement.

GPL - General Purpose Grease with Corrosion Inhibitor - Additives give this grease a higher level of protection from moisture and oxygen. 

Krytox AZ  240 - 2 ounce tube - $114.00 (-70° to +300°F)

AZ - Low-Temperature Grease - The ability to withstand low temperatures makes this grease a good choice for applications commonly found in the aerospace industry. Meets MIL-PRF-27617 specifications.

Krytox FAQ

These Krytox® greases deliver: 

* Performance -- When compared to other lubricants, only Krytox® oils and greases combine stability, high-temperature performance, nonflammability, and chemical inertness with outstanding lubrication under a variety of conditions. 
* Environmental Safety -- Using DuPont Krytox® oils and greases eliminates the need for hydrocarbon lubricants and their potential environmental impact. They last longer, so less lubricant is needed. They are nontoxic and do not release volatile organic compounds to the atmosphere. 
* Cost-effectiveness -- Krytox® performance lubricants are cost-effective across a broad range of applications because of their superior protection and useful life relative to traditional hydrocarbons. This allows equipment manufacturers to extend warranties and manufacturing plants to reduce costly maintenance due to component failure. 

Krytox ® 143 series oils are clear, colorless, fluorinated synthetic oils that are nonreactive, nonflammable, safe in chemical and oxygen service, and are long-lasting.

Krytox ® is a perfluoropolyether (PFPE) - also called perfluoroalkylether (PFAE) or perfluoropolyalkylether (PFPAE)

The polymer chain is completely saturated and contains only carbon, oxygen, and fluorine. On a weight basis, a
typical Krytox ® oil contains 21.6% carbon, 9.4% oxygen, and 69.0% fluorine.

All standard grades of grease are thickened with Krytox ® 2000 polytetrafluoroethylene PTFE, whose
formula is (CF 2 -CF 2 ) n . 

This special high efficiency thickener has a melting point of 325°C (617°F) and has low molecular weight and submicron (0.2 m) particle size for higher performance in bearings.

Krytox ® 240 series greases are white buttery greases with all of the same properties as the 143 series oils that
they are made from, but they are in grease form.
