Silicones: Enhancing Mechanical Fluids with Exceptional Stability and Versatility

Silicones are highly valued in mechanical fluids, thanks to their exceptional thermal stability and chemical resistance, which significantly enhance durability and performance. Their ability to maintain stability in extreme environments makes them a trusted choice for applications in harsh conditions.

Available in a wide range of viscosities, silicones can be precisely tailored to meet the unique demands of specific applications. Key safety and reliability features, such as low flammability, low vapor pressure, and excellent oxidative stability, further underscore their suitability for hydraulic, damping, and heat transfer systems, brake and steering fluids, and sound and vibration damping systems.

Overall, their stability and versatility make silicones an excellent choice for enhancing the performance and reliability of mechanical systems.

Silicone Hydraulic Fluids for Snubber Applications

SF1154 and SF1147 are excellent choices for hydraulic fluids in snubbers, offering a unique blend of properties ideal for demanding environments.

These Alkyl/Aryl polysiloxane fluids feature moderately low viscosity and provide outstanding heat stability, low volatility, high flash point, chemical inertness, non-flammability, and excellent shear stability.

They perform reliably across a wide temperature range
(-40 °F to 500 °F) and provide high radiation stability, making them suitable for critical environments requiring radiation resistance.
