- 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.
- Storage Information
- Store in a dry and cool place.
