Diffusion Pump Fluid
Quantity:
Silway 5705
Description
Silway 5705 Diffusion Pump Fluid is a colorless to straw-colored, single-component fluid designed for ultrahigh vacuum applications in the range of 10⁻⁹ to 10⁻¹⁰ torr (untrapped) and 10⁻¹¹ torr (trapped). The vapor pressure and backstreaming rate of Silway 5705 Diffusion Pump Fluid are so low that the use of traps or refrigeration is unnecessary for some ultrahigh and ultraclean vacuum applications. It has the highest phenyl content among all silicone diffusion pump fluids and the best radiation resistance.
