modified for LOX.
It would be interesting to hear about other options though.

What are the different options for lubricants to use for valves that
carry cryogenic fluids (liquid oxygen/methane).
I searched online and can't seem to find one that can work well below
-112 degree celsius.
Since Liquid oxygen is -183 and liquid nitrogen -210 there must be some
sort of lubricant that is used in valves that operate with cryo fluids.
