WACKER® APF 130
- Chemical Family
- Silicones
WACKER® APF 130 is a clear, colorless, and odorless polydimethylsiloxane with a high proportion of phenyl groups. This versatile fluid finds widespread application as a heat transfer fluid and a pressure transfer fluid. It also demonstrates excellent performance as a dielectric in capacitors and transformers and serves as a reliable base fluid in heat-resistant 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® APF 130 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.
