Silicone Fluids - Diffusion Pump Fluid

SiSiB® PF8704

1,1,5,5-Tetraphenyl-1,3,3,5-tetramethyltrisiloxane
Chemical Structure
Introduction
SiSiB® PF8704 Silicone Diffusion Pump Fluid is a single component fluid designed for high vacuum applications in the range of 10-6 to 10-8 torr (untrapped) and 10-10 to 10-11 torr (trapped).

Its low vapor pressure and thermal stability make it popular in processes such as vacuum coating, metallurgical work, and various other applications.

SiSiB® PF8704 is equal to DowCorning’s DC-704, Shin-Etsu’s HIVACF-4.
