Overview
Fluorinert™ Electronic Liquid FC-40 is a colorless, high-purity, thermally stable, fully fluorinated liquid.
It's wide liquid range (-57°C to 165°C) make it ideal for a wide variety of applications.
FC-40 is engineered primarily as a liquid ideal, single compound, so its composition will not shift or fractionate over time. This results in less fluid loss and insures that transport properties do not change with time.
