Sales & Service, Inc. (SSI) is the Exclusive NAFTA Sales & Distribution for Galden fluids used in Electronics Testing, Vapor Phase Solder Reflow, EV/charger cooling, and Data-Center immersion.
Galden® D02 provides a versatile balance of boiling point and viscosity, making it a proven choice for both thermal shock and hermetic seal indicator applications aligned with established MIL-STD-883 screening methodologies. Its low evaporation profile and chemical inertness translate into stable long-term performance and lower total cost of ownership under repeated cycling.
Galden® D02 is an excellent replacement for 3M Novec FC 40 and FC43 fluids.
Thermal Shock – Hot Bath (MIL)
Listed across multiple MIL-STD-883 conditions (B/C/E/F), often paired with DET or LN₂ for the cold step; hot steps to ~200 °C.
Hermetic seal testing — Indicator (MIL)
Type II, Condition C1 approach; higher bp and low vapor pressure minimize loss during test.
Liquid Burn-In Testing — Dielectric Heat-Transfer Bath
Balanced viscosity/stability for mid-range soak temperatures in powered burn-in.
High-Voltage / Hipot Soak & Flashover Screening
Insulating bath for hipot/flashover screens at moderate-high temps.
Carrier Fluid for Penetrants (NDT / Liquid Penetrant Concepts)
Low surface tension/viscosity aid wetting; bp ~175 °C limits evaporation during longer inspection cycles.
Trace-Residue Elimination & Inspection Rinse
Ambient/heated rinses for clean, residue-free parts.
Custom Liquid Cooling in Test Rigs & Fixtures
Good choice for sustained mid-to-high temperature loops and baths.
Chemical Processing & Aerospace Test Support (Property-Based Fit)
Inert liquid for lab/fixture heat-transfer near reactive media.
