Grease; Type M

Apiezon Greases are unique products, designed for use in high vacuum work:

  • Excellent lubricants
  • High purity, low vapor pressure – non-contamination in analysis
  • The working temperature range of each grease is dependent on the grade that is used
  • Easily applied, easily cleaned off
  • Silicone free. This benefits scientific users because the risk of sample contamination and consequently the risk of interference in analytical techniques such as infra-red or mass spctrometry, etc. is avoided
  • Approved by NASA and NATO

Apiezon Grease; Type M

Similar to Apiezon Grease Type L, but it contains more wax.
Grease M has an estimated vapor pressure @ 20°C of 2x10-9 torr, higher than Type L. Type M is recommended for applications where a grease of moderately low vapor pressure is required; such as for sealing ground joints on the backing side of oil diffusion pumps.
