GLEITMO SIL F 500 (Formerly CHEMPLEX S 204)
Silicone fluid lubricant
Description
GLEITMO SIL F 500 is a linear, non-reactive polydimethylsiloxane fluid that is clear, colorless and odorless. It meets the US FDA regulations set forth in CFR 21 section 178.3570 for lubricants with incidental food contact.
GLEITMO SIL F 500 is a non-polar liquid that is not miscible with polar solvents such as water or short- chain alcohols. It is soluble in aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorohydrocarbons, ethers, esters, ketones and higher alcohols.
Features
- Excellent water- repellant properties
- Good dielectric properties
- High flash point
- High heat resistance
- Low volatility
- Minimal viscosity change over a broad range of temperatures.
- Suitable for plastics and rubber
- Chemically inert and unreactive
- Good solubility in a wide variety of solvents
- Conforms to FDA requirements for use in areas with incidental food contact
Field of application
GLEITMO SIL F 500 is recommended for use on O-rings and valves. It is suitable for lubrication of rubber and plastics, as a dampening or heat
transfer fluid, and as a liquid dielectric for electrical or electronic equipment.
Method of application
GLEITMO SIL F 500 can be dispensed using standard oil pumping equipment, and drip or brush applicators. Care should be taken to limit contamination.
