I've been looking for a less expensive oxygen safe grease for hybrids.

Please don't use it on Hypertek systems. It's fluorine based.

As someone who has never used a hybrid but is looking into them, why is a fluorine based grease bad?

Thanks,

Fluorine based greases are highly reactive with a number of organic materials if heat is present. Regardless of what make of hybrid you choose, use the grease that the manufacturer specifies. For Hypertek it's not fluorine based greases.

That makes perfect sense. Thank you very much.

Thanks,

I called Tufoil and they said if I was going to use Lox8 on oring it should be the grease. The paste would degrade Orings. Turns out that the grease is actually more expensive than Krytox any way so I ordered the Krytox from McMaster Carr.

Thanks again,

Krytox is also fluorine based and should not be used with Hypertek.

I have contrail hybrids. But I have thought about getting a Hypertek. What is recommended on Hypertek?

Thanks, KT
