Additional Information

Product functions

• Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds): Reduces emissions and environmental impact.
• High Purity: Minimizes contamination risks within the VPS system.
• Chlorine Resistant: Withstands exposure to chlorine, allowing use in environments with chlorine or chlorine compounds (potentially beneficial depending on the specific VPS application).
• High ESCR (Environmental Stress Crack Resistance): Improves the resistance of plastic components in the VPS system to cracking under environmental stress, extending their lifespan.
• Sour Gas Resistant (Uncertain): While not explicitly mentioned as a key function for VPS, it might offer some resistance to sour gases depending on the specific gas composition. It's always best to consult the manufacturer's datasheet for confirmation.
• Good Glycol Resistance: Potentially useful if the VPS system uses glycol-based cleaning agents.
• Bio-Fuel Resistant (Uncertain): Not directly relevant for VPS applications.
• Fuel Resistant (Uncertain): Not directly relevant for VPS applications.
• Alkali Resistant: May be beneficial depending on the specific cleaning agents used in the VPS system.
• Acid Resistant: May be beneficial depending on the specific cleaning agents used in the VPS system.
• Alcohol Resistant: May be beneficial depending on the specific cleaning agents used in the VPS system.
• Mineral/Synthetic Oil Resistant: Unlikely to be a critical factor in VPS applications.
• Detergent Resistant: Facilitates cleaning of the VPS system without compromising the performance of Galden LS 200.
• Hydrolysis Resistant: Resists degradation caused by water vapor, ensuring long-term performance within the VPS system.
• Low Moisture Absorption: Minimizes the risk of corrosion in metal components of the VPS system.
• Dielectric Properties: Ensures safe operation by preventing electrical shorts within the VPS system.
• Non-Flammable: Enhances safety in the VPS environment by reducing fire hazards.
• Radiotranslucent (Uncertain): Not a critical property for VPS applications.
• Transparency: Allows for visual inspection of the fluid for any signs of contamination within the VPS system.
• UV Resistant: Ensures long-term performance even if the VPS system is exposed to ultraviolet radiation (not a typical concern).
• Radiation (Gamma) Resistant (Uncertain): Not a typical requirement for VPS applications. However, depending on the specific application, it might be relevant.
• Good Thermal Stability: Essential for VPS applications. Galden LS 200 can withstand high temperatures without decomposition, ensuring consistent performance throughout the soldering cycle.
• High Heat Resistant: Essential for VPS applications. Galden LS 200 operates effectively within a broad temperature range, meeting the demands of VPS processes.
