Type 101 is an excellent general purpose, hydrocarbon grease, which is intended for a variety of industrial and scientific applications.
Non silicone Grease: Being hydrocarbon based AP 101 does not suffer from the problems of "creep" or "carry over" which is traditionally associated with silicone greases.
Anti-Seize Properties: The AP 101 contains "PTFE" which confers superior anti-seize properties providing long lasting lubrication and ensuring smooth operation of stop cocks and taps. The value of AP 101 anti-seize properties are not limited to laborat.
Non silicone Grease: Being hydrocarbon based AP 101 does not suffer from the problems of "creep" or "carry over" which is traditionally associated with silicone greases.
Solvent resistant: Both "PTFE" and the lithium stearate gel base in AP 101 are insoluble in most solvents. They ensure that AP 101 shows resistance to water, alcohols, ketones and esters.
Wide temperature range: It can be used over a very wide range of temperatures, possessing its optimum consistency over the -15 to +150°C temperature range, but is usable down to -40°C and, for limited periods, up to +180°C.
Under vacuum: AP 101 exhibits good vacuum properties, down to 10-4 torr.
Easily remove AP 101 by wiping it with a soft cloth. Any residues of grease can be washed away with an aqueous glassware detergent.
