Low Temperature Grease : Rheolube® 1000

Rheolube® 1000 is an ultrafiltered, long-lasting, MAC-based lubricant for gears and bearings in lower temperature Aerospace and Vacuum applications. Rheolube® 1000 is formulated with a specialized MAC fluid that combines the low vapor pressure and low outgassing of a PFPE, with the lubricity and film strength of a PAO, therefore making it ideal for use in applications where long-life is critical to the mission. 

Applications 

  • Bearings 
  • Gears 

Rheolube® 1000 Characteristics 

  • Good lubricity and film strength
