BLUESIL FLD 550 is a clear, low viscosity silicone fluid. Features of this fluid include :
• Serviceable temperature range of – 50 °C to 250 °C.
• High flash point (300 °C).
• Reduced variation of viscosity with temperature.
• Low volatility.
• Good resistance to oxidation and gumming (or gelling).
• Good heat transfer characteristics.
BLUESIL FLD 550 is being used in many different applications, including :
As a lubricant:
• Base oil for high temperature ball bearing greases.
• Lubricating oil for clockworks submitted to weathering or to high temperatures.
• Impregnating oil for sintered bronze bearings in small electric motors and other
mechanisms exposed to high temperatures and weathering.
• Lubricating oil for plastic gearing.
As a heat transfer medium:
• Heat finishing baths for specialty metals.
• Fluid for laboratory apparatus.
• Heat exchange fluid (– 50 °C to + 250 °C).
• Heat exchange fluid for high temperature instrument calibration baths.
