Applications & Uses

Applications
  • Antifriction Agents & Lubricants
Application Details
  • Heat transfer fluid
  • Pressure transfer fluid
  • Dielectric in capacitors and transformers
  • Base fluid of heat resistant lubricants
  • For practical purposes, the useful temperature range of WACKER® AP 1000 is between -35 °C and +200 °C. However, this presupposes that heat-stressing of the fluid occurs under "chemically pure" conditions.
  • Even trace amounts of acids, alkalis, mineral oils, organometallic compounds, metal salts or metal oxides can seriously reduce the service life.
  • The flash point of the silicone fluid may be changed by heat-stressing. It is therefore particularly important in open systems to check the flash point at least once a year and more often if operating conditions demand.
