Silicone Diffusion Pump Oil


Dow CorningĀ® 702 diffusion pump fluid is a general purpose fluid designed for fast pumping of large volumes of gas. It is used to produce vacuums in the range of 10E-5 to 10E-7 torr. It is also used in vapor ejector pumps that attain vacuums of 10E-4 to 10E-5 torr.

Dow CorningĀ® 704 diffusion pump fluid is a single component fluid for high vacuums of 10E-6 to 10E-8 torr, untrapped or 10E-10 to 10E-11, trapped. It performs well in tough, rugged applications and offers quick pumpdown, even after exposure to air at operating temperatures, although this is not recommended.

MTS also stocks private label 704 and 705 equivalents in gallon containers and 500 cc bottles.

MTS carries Dow Corning High Vaccum Grease. A 150 gram (5.3 oz.) tube is $25.00.
