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. |
