MIL-PRF-23827 is a United States military performance specification that details the requirements for a specialised grease intended for use at extremely low temperatures on military and civil aircraft.
This specification (formerly MIL-G-23827) covers a grease formulated with a synthetic base oil (typically a diester) and various thickeners and additives. It is designed to provide excellent load-carrying capacity, superior corrosion inhibition, and exceptional water resistance across a very wide operating temperature range.
The primary use for MIL-PRF-23827 grease is in applications requiring reliable lubrication in extreme cold environments:
The grease is effective across a broad temperature spectrum, typically from -73°C to +121°C (-100°F to +250°F).
The MIL-PRF-23827 specification covers one grade of grease but includes two distinct types, categorized by their thickener system:
| Type | Thickener Type | Compatibility Note |
| Type I | Typically soap-based (e.g., Lithium Complex) | Do not mix with Type II greases |
| Type II | Typically non-soap/clay-based (e.g., Microgel/organo-clay) | Do not mix with Type I greases |
