Krytox 205G0 – Switch Lubricant

Premium-grade PFPE grease for mechanical keyboards

Krytox GPL 205 Grade 0 is a high-performance, PTFE-thickened grease originally developed for industrial applications. It's become a staple in the mechanical keyboard community for enhancing the smoothness and sound profile of both switches and stabilizers.

This product contains authentic Chemours-manufactured GPL 205g0, repackaged into 5g and 10g glass jars by The Thocc Exchange.

Why Choose Krytox 205g0?

• Versatile Application: Suitable for linear switches and stabilizers, providing a smooth keystroke and reducing unwanted noise. While some enthusiasts use it for tactile switches, it's essential to apply sparingly to maintain the switch's intended feel.

• Stable and Long-Lasting: Its consistency ensures the lubricant stays where applied, offering long-term performance without frequent reapplication.

• Inert and Safe: Chemically stable, non-reactive with plastics and metals, and non-flammable, making it safe for various keyboard components.

Technical Specifications

• Base Chemistry: PFPE (perfluoropolyether)

• Operating Temperature: Up to 204 °C continuously (short-term peaks to 220 °C)

• Properties: Non-flammable, VOC-free, corrosion-resistant, and chemically stable under high stress

• Compatibility: Safe for use with plastics, metals, and elastomers

Application Guidance

• Switches: Apply a thin, even layer to the stem rails and housing contact points. Avoid over-lubing, especially for tactile switches, to preserve their feedback.

• Stabilizers: Apply to the housing, sliders, and wires to eliminate rattle and enhance smoothness.

• Tools: Use a fine brush or applicator for precise application. Ensure the lubricant is evenly distributed without excess.

• Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. The shelf life is effectively indefinite if sealed properly.

Size Options

• 5g Glass Jar: Suitable for approximately 500 switches or multiple stabilizer sets, depending on application style.

• 10g Glass Jar: Ideal for workshops, heavy use, or long-term modders.
  
  

  Safe Handling of PFAS-Based Lubricants

  Krytox 205g0 contains PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), sometimes referred to as “forever chemicals” due to their persistence in the environment. While safe when used properly, we recommend:

  • Avoid direct skin contact—use gloves or applicators when handling.

  • Do not ingest or allow contact with food surfaces.

  • Keep out of reach of children and pets.

  • Dispose of applicators and containers in accordance with local hazardous waste guidelines.

  Always store in a sealed container in a cool, dry place. Use responsibly to minimise environmental impact.
