SANTOVAC 5 vacuum and high-temperature fluid has exceptionally low volatility and is a thermally stable, halogen-free, clear, colorless fluid. It is extremely resistant to degradation from heat, oxygen, radiation, and chemical attack. SANTOVAC 5 is designed for applications where extreme high temperature and adverse environments are expected. It is compatible with most metals and elastomers, commonly used in high temperature applications. SANTOVAC 5 is considered essentially nontoxic, especially when proper hygienic practices are employed.
Key Features
- Achieves high vacuum without LN2 traps
- Eliminates need for cooled baffles in many systems
- Exceptional oxidation stability
- Minimal viscosity increase over time
Why Use Santovac 5
- Ideal for general-purpose high vacuum systems
- Lower operating complexity (reduced need for traps/baffles)
- Cost-effective solution with long fluid life
SANTOVAC 5 ULTRA vacuum and high-temperature fluid is a highly purified fluid, with exceptionally low volatility and extreme thermal stability. Like SANTOVAC 5, it is extraordinarily resistant to degradation from heat, oxygen, radiation, and chemical attack. Hence, it is well suited for use in extreme high temperature and adverse environments. SANTOVAC 5P ULTRA is compatible with most precious metals, base metals and elastomers, commonly used in high temperature and electronic applications. It is considered essentially nontoxic, when proper hygienic practices are employed. SANTOVAC 5P ULTRA is especially useful in applications, such as those involving high vacuum, which can benefit from its extreme purity.
Key Features
- Further distilled to remove light-end fractions
- <0.02% 3-ring content
- <0.1% 4-ring content
- Reduced volatility improves vacuum stability
- Lower contamination risk vs standard Santovac 5
Why Use Santovac 5
- Improved process cleanliness
- More stable operation in sensitive processes
- Reduced backstreaming vs standard grades
SANTOVAC 9 is a polyphenyl ether vacuum and high-temperature fluid with exceptionally low volatility and extremely high resistance to degradation from heat, oxygen, radiation, and chemical attack. It is a thermally stable, halogen and silicon-free, clear fluid. Because of these attributed SANTOVAC 9 is extremely durable and offers longer fluid life, cleaner vacuums, and better pump down times than hydrocarbons and silicone fluids. SANTOVAC 9 is designed for applications where extreme high temperature or adverse environments are expected. Its low vapor pressure and low back streaming rate make LN2 traps unnecessary for the 10 -8 Torr range. It is compatible with most metals and elastomers, commonly used in high temperature applications and does not react with the gases most commonly found in high vacuum systems. SANTOVAC 9 is considered essentially nontoxic, especially when proper hygienic practices are employed. SANTOVAC 9 is quite simply the best vacuum pump fluid available for the price anywhere.
Key Features
- Higher molecular weight PPE formulation
- Extremely low vapor pressure
- Lowest backstreaming of the Santovac line
- Superior resistance to thermal breakdown
Why Use Santovac 5
- Enables ultra-high vacuum (UHV) performance
- Minimizes contamination in the most demanding environments
- Best choice for systems where every molecule matters
Shelf Life
It is strongly recommended using all fluids and greases at the time of receipt, however when storage is necessary, rotate older stock into use first and observe the recommended parameters listed below.
