The high-tech manufacturing industries of today depend on engineered fluids for cutting edge physical properties. These fluids are widely used across electronics, semiconductor, chemical processing, aerospace manufacturing, and thermal management among others.
Halocarbon Engineered Fluids are inert, chemically stable, incombustible and nonflammable – designed to meet today’s advanced manufacturing practices. Halocarbon’s polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE) provides properties comparable to other fluoropolymers such as perfluoropolyether based (PFPE) Galden fluids. Industries utilize the excellent specific heat, thermal conductivity, dielectric strength, and surface tension properties provided by PCTFE. For these reasons, Halocarbon PCTFE are well suited for use in applications which include vapor phase soldering, immersion cooling, heat transfer, immersion cooling, and wafer fabrication.
Due to the critical nature of these operations, product reliability and performance are understandably of primary importance. Halocarbon PCTFE is backed by over 70 years of fluorochemical expertise and knowledge. When comparing Halocarbon PCTFE to other engineered fluids, Halocarbon can provide economical benefit for comparable properties required in any application.
One-to-One Comparison: Halocarbon 4.2 and 6.3 vs. Galden HT200 and HT230
For example, let’s compare the performance of oils engineered for heat transfer applications.
Galden HT200 and HT230 are popular high boiling fluids that provide excellent dielectric properties and chemical stability appropriate for heat transfer applications. In these applications, thermal management is dependent on the fluids ability to transfer excess heat from surface (or other mediums) to surface during a process. Galden’s HT200 and HT230 provide exceptional performance for such application. However, due to price increases for designer dielectric fluids over the last couple of years, the performance is provided at a steep cost. Comparing Halocarbon’s 4.2 and 6.3 fluids through ASTM physical standards, both fluids exhibit comparable performance while being cost-effective Galden replacements for heat transfer applications.
Comparable in vapor pressure, thermal conductivity, dielectric strength, and boiling point – Halocarbon PCTFE provides uncompromising performance.
Halocarbon offers a wide portfolio of engineered fluids for heat transfer and a broad variety of other applications that meet the most exacting safety and performance standards without breaking the bank.
