Features & Benefits

Product Highlights

PM‐125 High Temperature Silicone Heat Transfer Fluid is characterized by its high flash point, high service temperature range, low vapor pressure, high resistance to oxidation, high dielectric strength and hydrophobic nature (insoluble in water). It has a high VTC (viscosity‐to‐temperature coefficient) so its viscosity will lower quickly when heated, allowing for the fluid to be easily pumped.

When compared to Polydimethylsiloxane fluids (PSF‐Fluids), PM‐125 Heat Transfer Fluid exhibits much higher thermal stability and resistance to oxidation. Although it is more expensive, it will provide a much longer service life.
