Krytox® greases are thickened with PTFE. Dropping point test results (ASTM D-566 and ASTM D-2265) can be confusing or misinterpreted with PTFE-thickened greases. The test is used to determine the “dropping point” (melting point) of a grease, which is the point at which the thickener begins to soften and release base oil. Testing with several different PTFE thickeners shows that a drop of clear oil will be released or separated at around 210°C (410°F) with PTFE-thickened greases. The thickener does not melt until the 320°-335°C (608°-635°F) range. The useful temperature range for the grease is dependent on the base oil.
