High Temperature Silicone Bath Fluids

High Temperature Silicone Bath Fluids are formulated for stability at temperatures >200°C (open to air) and 300°C (closed to air). They are characterized by their high thermal stability, high flash points, high resistance to oxidation, high dielectric strength, and inertness to virtually all components.

PM-50 High Temperature Silicone Bath Fluid hast the lowest viscosity and can be used at lower temperatures without an acute viscosity increase.

High Temperature Silicone Bath Fluids are formulated for high temperature baths applications and high temperature heat transfer applications that exceed 200°C

DPDM-400 High Temperature Bath Fluid is a clear, colorless and odorless Diphenyl-Dimethylsiloxane (CAS# 68083-14-7) with a viscosity of 400cSt. It remains stable at 250°C (open system) for 1,500 to 2,000 hours without gelling or breaking down. In closed system baths*, DPDM-400 High Temperature Bath Fluid remains stable at 300°C.

PM-125 High Temperature Bath Fluid is a clear, colorless and odorless Phenylmethylsiloxane (CAS # 63148-52-7) with a viscosity of 125cSt. It has a long term operating temperature range of 230°C (open system). At 250°C (open system), it remains stable for approximately 1,200 hours without gelling or breaking down. In closed system, PM-125 High Temperature Silicone Bath Fluid remains stable at 300°C.

Although DPDM-400 and PM-125 High Temperature Bath Fluids have pour points of @30°C and @51°C, they are not recommended for low temperature applications due to their high VTC (viscosity-to-temperature coefficient). At low temperatures, their viscosities increase significantly making them poor choices for applications below ambient.

PM-50 High Temperature Silicone Fluid is a low Phenyl content silicone with a viscosity of 50cst @ 25C. Like the PM-125 and DPDM-400, it remains stable at elevated temps. Unlike the DPDM-400 and PM-125, the PM-50 can operate at lower temps without the acute viscosity increase. It has the further advantage of a lower viscosity at room temp, which makes it easy to pump and circulate.

HT-110 High Temperature Silicone Bath Fluid is a Polydimethylsiloxane Silicone oil 100cst viscosity (CAS# 63148-62-9) that is heat-stabilized with an iron-siloxane additive for high temperature stability >200°C (open and closed system). Due to the heat stabilizing additive, HT-110 High Temperature Silicone Bath Fluid offers significantly higher thermal stability than standard PDMS fluids, which breakdown at temperature well below 200°C in an open system..

However, due to the iron-siloxane additive, HT-110 High Temp Silicone Bath Fluid has a brownish color and an odor. Because of its murky-brown color, it is not recommended for applications where the instruments need to be visible. HT-110 has been described as a “PDMS Silicone oil on steroids”. Essentially, it is a cost-effective fluid that bridges the gap between the PDMS class and the Phenyl class of silicones fluids.
