Description
Element14 PDMS 1000 is a linear polydimethylsiloxane polymer with a kinematic viscosity of 1000.
Element14 PDMS fluids can stay in liquid form at conditions that cause polymers to become greases, waxes or solids. Because the viscosity of Element14 fluids change with very little temperature, pressure, mechanical stress or chemical exposure, they can excel in applications that require fluid properties in harsh environments.
The silicone-to-oxygen bond in Element14 PDMS fluids is much stronger than the carbon-to-carbon bond. As a result of this structure, the silicones exhibit:
- Unusually low viscosities at high molecular weight
- Outstanding high and low temperature stability
