Santovac® 5 Diffusion Pump Fluid

Synthetic Polyphenyl Ether

Santovac® 5 is a diffusion pump fluid capable of producing ultra high vacuum levels in the 10-10 torr range. Its very low vapor pressure reduces back-streaming and can eliminate the need for baffles thereby maintaining system cleanliness and increasing pumping speeds. Its superior thermal and oxidation stability offers longer operating terms than most other fluids. Unlike silicone based fluids there is no danger of depositing electrically insulating films making it ideal for use in analytical vacuum equipment.

Silicone High Vacuum Grease

The HVL Series silicone grease is a general-purpose grease and is equal to Dow Corning High Vacuum Grease.® HVL Series silicone grease is used in most general vacuum systems and only a thin layer of grease should be used. (Only enough where as the o-ring itself is "shiny". No grease itself should be visible) HVL silicone grease maintains its consistency for -30°F to 550°F and can be effectively used at pressures as low as 10-7 torr.

Oil Mist Eliminators

KHVP-2000 Series throw away mist eliminators are designed to be used on any rotary vane pumps, eliminating the oil mist which is ejected through the exhaust port during the initial pump down to 1 mbar. Oil mist is harmful to the lungs and by incorporating the KHVP-2000 Series into a rotary vane pump eliminates this issue and will help maintain a cleaner working environment. The KHVP-2000 disposable mist eliminators are of a general-purpose design capable of retaining oil mist as small as one micron and are not intended for aggressive gases. Other sizes and mounting arrangements are available upon request, contact factory.
