TRIBOLUBE 13D17

TRIBOLUBE-13D17 is qualified to MIL-PRF-27617, Type 1. TRIBOLUBE-13D17 is one of a series of greases developed for use in mild to low pressure systems where nonreactivity with strong chemicals, strong acids and oxidizers, fuels, and solvents is mandatory. This grease is suited for a temperature range of -75ºF to 300ºF. Although these greases are very inert, newly exposed rubbing surfaces of aluminum and magnesium may react with the greases under certain extreme conditions. TRIBOLUBE-13D17 is available with three different corrosion inhibitors designated by the letters RPA, RPB, & RPC.

TRIBOLUBE-13D17 can be used in electrical contacts, valves, and as an anti-seize thread compound. TRIBOLUBE-13D17 is compatible with elastomeric seals, plastic, gaskets, O-rings, as well as nonreactive with LOX and GOX.

 

Application:

The fuel resistant grease is intended for use in the lubrication of taper plug valves, gaskets, and bearings in fuel systems of military aircraft and ground support equipment. It is also suitable for use in the presence of liquid oxygen as a lubricant for valves, threads, and bearings in aerospace vehicles and supporting equipment. This material may not be suitable for aluminum or magnesium dynamic bearing lubrication because of possible ignition hazards.
