Description:

NuTherm® S165 is a low-viscosity, linear polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) silicone heat transfer fluid engineered for extremely low-temperature applications requiring superior pumpability, chemical stability, and long service life. This crystal-clear, colorless, odorless silicone oil delivers reliable performance in closed-loop thermal control systems across a wide temperature range.

Derived from ultra-pure PDMS chemistry, NuTherm® S165 exhibits:

  • Very low pour point
  • Low viscosity-temperature change (low V.T.C.)
  • Exceptional low-temperature stability
  • Hydrophobic behavior (insoluble in water)
  • Long operating life and oxidative stability

At -40°C, NuTherm® S165 maintains a viscosity of only 6 cSt, making it ideal for circulation systems with limited pump capacity at low temperatures.


Applications:

NuTherm® S165 is recommended for:

  • Low-temperature heat transfer systems
  • Environmental/thermal test chambers
  • Cryostats & refrigerated baths
  • Freeze-drying equipment
  • Calibration and metrology baths
  • Low-temperature recirculating chillers
  • Closed-loop low-temperature circulation baths
  • Thermostatic control systems requiring ultra-low viscosity fluids

Note: NuTherm® S165 must be used in closed systems, where air exposure is minimized.
