Properties
- Appearance
- Crystal clear liquid, free of suspended matter or sediment
- Typical Properties
- Solubility
- Notes
- The melt point temperature is a typical value and may vary somewhat due to molecular distribution. If the melting point is critical to your application, then several lots should be thoroughly evaluated.
- Due to different rates of cooling, this test method may yield pour points lower than the temperature at which these fluids would melt.

- Handling Precautions
XIAMETER PMX-200 Silicone Fluid may cause temporary eye discomfort. Use caution when handling volatile fluids at temperatures with 10°C of the quoted flash point. At elevated temperatures, XIAMETER PMX-200 Silicone Fluids are sensitive to contamination by strong acids, bases, some metallic compounds and oxidizing agents. These contaminants may cause an accelerated rate of volatile byproduct formation. Oxidizing agents can also cause an increase in fluid viscosity. When these conditions may exist, it is recommended that the flash point of the fluids be checked periodically to monitor operational safety. Also, ignitable conditions may exist if the fluid is giving off smoke
