CANNON Bath Oils

Silicone bath oils are clear, colorless liquids that can be used as heat transfer media in CANNON automated viscometers and some high-temperature CANNON baths where IBF fluid is not effective. Three viscosity grades of silicone bath fluid are available for different temperature/viscosity ranges. 10 cSt oil is recommended for use from 25 °C to 100 °C. 20 cSt oil is recommended for use from 80 °C to 135 °C. 50 cSt oil is recommended for use from 135 °C to 150 °C. IBF is an ideal bath oil for CANNON heated baths with applications at ambient termperature and above. IBF Bath Oil contains an oxidation inhibitor which reduces tendency to darken at higher temperatures. Viscosity is 36 cSt at 40 °C, 5.6 cSt at 100 °C. Use below 135 °C (275 °F).
