These products are designed to provide high-temperature performance surpassing that of regular silicones.
Heat resistance: Silicone fluids have outstanding stability against thermal oxidation.
Cold resistance: Silicone fluids withstand low temperatures well. Methylphenyl silicone fluid, formulated for low temperature applications, maintains flowability even at -65°C.
Viscosity stability: There is little change in viscosity over a wide temperature range.
Chemical stability: Silicone fluids are almost totally chemically inactive. At room temperature, they show almost no effects from alkali solutions (up to 10%) or acidic solutions (up to 30%).
Non-corrosive and little effect on other materials: Silicone fluids have almost no adverse effects on metals and many other materials.
Low surface tension: Silicone fluids have much lower surface tension than water and other common synthetic oils.
KF-965, KF-968These two products are produced by special processing of dimethyl silicone fluid. They have excellent heat resistance and exhibit less heat deterioration than KF-96. BothKF-965 and KF-968 can withstand prolonged temperatures of +250℃ in closed systems and are capable of withstanding temperatures up to +300℃ for short durations. KF-968has a greater transparency than KF-965. Applications: Oil baths, heating mediums, and vibration reduction oils for instruments to be used in high-temperature environments. Mold releasing agents for molten metal.
