DOWSIL™ 550 Silicone Fluid is a transparent silicone fluid formulated for high-performance industrial environments. It is thermally stable and designed for equipment exposed to radiation, including hydraulic arrestors, hydraulically actuated valves, and instruments used in nuclear plants.
The fluid provides a high flash point, chemical inertness, low volatility, compressibility, and resistance to heat and radiation. These properties make it suitable for applications where radiation exposure is a critical concern.
Packaged in a 20 kg pail, this material supports demanding operating conditions and specialized equipment requirements.
