FUCHS Lubricants Co. Highlights FLUOROCARBON GEL 880 for Automotive Component Applications

PTFE-thickened silicone grease delivers water resistance, mechanical stability and

wide temperature performance

FUCHS Lubricants Co., the world’s largest independent lubricant manufacturer, highlights FLUOROCARBON GEL 880, a PTFE-thickened, heavy viscosity dimethyl silicone grease for demanding automotive components that require strong water resistance, mechanical stability and wide temperature performance. Suitable for machinery and instrumentation exposed to water spray and severe service conditions, FLUOROCARBON GEL 880 is designed for use in ball joints, brakes and cables, helping protect critical components in challenging operating environments.

In stabilizer bushing applications, FLUOROCARBON GEL 880 is compatible with rubber components exposed to high underhood temperatures and repeated stress. The grease eases assembly and provides superior water washout resistance, helping support longer lasting performance where rubber components may otherwise dry out over time.

For jounce bumper and related suspension applications, FLUOROCARBON GEL 880 delivers the benefits of a viscous synthetic grease fortified for extreme pressure service. In environments exposed to water, saltwater and road grit, the product helps reduce wear and corrosion while its high damping capability helps minimize squeaks and squeals for quieter operation.

In ball joint applications, FLUOROCARBON GEL 880 is formulated to reduce friction and wear, extend component life, support lifetime durability requirements and operate quietly with no stick- slip. It also offers compatibility with boot materials, excellent low temperature torque and resistance to water spray-off, helping preserve reliable performance in severe conditions.

For braking systems, FLUOROCARBON GEL 880 is suited for caliper pin lubrication where high temperatures and EPDM compatibility are essential. With a temperature range of -40 to 200 °C and approvals including GM 9985493 and Chrysler MS-7751, FLUOROCARBON GEL 880 gives automotive component manufacturers and maintenance professionals a specialty grease solution that combines durability, water resistance and material compatibility to support long-term component protection and consistent operation.
