When industrial equipment encounters extreme cold: Why is low temperature performance the key?

In the field of biomedicine, freeze dryers need to achieve low temperature dehydration of materials in an environment below -50℃; in semiconductor manufacturing, the cooling fluid system needs to maintain stable operation of the equipment at ultra-low temperatures. Ordinary mineral oil begins to solidify at -20℃, while IOTA 47V2 A2 has become an "icebreaker" in extreme cold industrial scenarios with its ultra-low solidification point of -80℃ and excellent viscosity-temperature characteristics.

In-depth application of two major industrial scenarios

1. Freeze dryer: "Low temperature guardian"
Pain point: The viscosity of traditional hydraulic oil increases sharply at -30℃, causing the freeze dryer partition to be stuck and the material to be freeze-dried unevenly.

IOTA 47V2 solution:
As the medium of the freeze dryer hydraulic system, it still maintains fluidity at -80℃ to ensure accurate temperature control of the partition;

Low surface energy characteristics reduce oil adhesion;

Strong anti-oxidation, service life is more than 2 times that of ordinary silicone oil, reducing equipment maintenance costs.

Ultra-low temperature lubrication

Aerospace cryogenic components: In low temperature environments below -50℃ (such as rocket fuel valves, satellite attitude adjustment mechanisms), 2 cSt silicone oil can be used as a long-term lubricant due to its low freezing point and low viscosity, ensuring that components can still operate flexibly at extreme temperatures and avoiding equipment failure caused by solidification of high-viscosity grease.

2. Cooling fluid: "temperature steward" for semiconductors and new energy
Scenario requirements: Chip etching requires a constant temperature of -40℃, and lithium battery pole piece cooling requires that the cooling fluid does not solidify or corrode.

Technical advantages:
Low volume expansion coefficient (1.17×10⁻³/℃), stable system pressure at low temperatures;
Can be used as an insulating liquid for impregnated paper capacitors (excellent insulation), suitable for cooling precision electronic equipment;
Odorless and tasteless.

3. Other common application areas:
• As a diluent for room temperature vulcanized silicone rubber (two-component, room temperature vulcanized silicone rubber elastomer);
• Improve its fluidity in coating additives;
• High-speed bearing lubrication: micro high-speed motor bearings: In micro motors with speeds exceeding 100,000 rpm (such as drone motors, hard disk spindle motors), 2 cSt silicone oil can replace traditional grease, reduce viscous resistance during bearing rotation, reduce energy consumption and heat generation, and extend motor life
