Low Temperature Silicone Heat Fluids are low-viscosity linear Polydimethylsiloxane fluids that are formulated for use as cold and heat transfer mediums in a wide range of applications. Silicone Heat Transfer Fluids are clear, colorless, odorless, and inert to virtually all metals, plastics and rubbers.

The Low Temperature Silicone Heat Transfer Fluids encompass a viscosity range from 1.5cSt to 20cSt* (measures @ 25°C). They are characterized by their low pour points, low temperature stability, wide service temperature range, low viscosity change at temperature (low V.T.C.), low surface tension, long service life, and hydrophobic nature (insoluble in water).

Low Temperature Silicone Heat Transfer Fluids have Thermal Conductivity values between 0.00025 to 0.00034 g/cal/cm/sec °C or 0.10 to 0.15 W/m °C. The Specific Heat values between 0.410 to 0.35 cal/g °C or 2.0 to 1.6 J/g °C

Low Temperature Silicone Heat Transfer Fluids have low Viscosity-Temperature Coefficients (V.T.C.), and will experience little viscosity increase even at extremely low temperatures. The Viscosity-temperature coefficient or V.T.C. is a measure of viscosity @ 99°C ÷viscosity @ 38°C. Thus, the lower the VTC #, the lower the viscosity change. This is critical for systems that cannot pump higher viscosity fluids. At extremely low temps, the fluids will still circulate and provide a consistent temperature. For the lowest temperature stability and lowest viscosity, we recommend the PSF-1.5cSt & PSF-2cSt (PDF).

Applications include: heat transfer systems, low temperature heat transfer systems, heat transfer baths, heat transfer fluid in freeze drying equipment, heat transfer medium in lyophilization thermostats and cryostat fluids, calibration bath fluids, silicone fluid for temperature control systems, low temperature closed system baths, low temperature constant temperature baths, low temperature circulating baths, low temperature circulator baths, low temperature refrigerated baths, low temperature closed loop baths
