WACKER® AS 100 Silicone fluid is a clear, colorless, and odorless polydimethylsiloxane with a low proportion of phenyl groups. It serves as a versatile damping fluid, providing excellent vibration and noise reduction in various applications. Additionally, it is commonly used as a heat transfer fluid and serves as a base fluid for low temperature lubricants.

Application Details
  • Damping fluid
  • Heat transfer fluid
  • Base fluid of low temperature lubricants

For practical purposes, the useful temperature range of WACKER® AS 100 is between -70 °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.
