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® D03 is the cost-optimized single-fluid solution for commercial and non-military thermal shock platforms, delivering reliable performance without the overhead of full MIL-STD compliance. Its higher boiling point, low vapor pressure, and strong dielectric behavior make it ideal for standardizing on one fluid while reducing loss rates and service load.
Galden® D03 is an excellent replacement for 3M Novec FC 40 and FC43 fluids.
Single-fluid thermal shock (Non-MIL)
One-fluid approach for hot/cold baths; typical hot steps to ~200 °C and cold steps to −195 °C where applicable.
Hermetic seal testing — Indicator (Non-MIL)
Higher boiling point and low vapor pressure at test temperature help minimize evaporative loss (Type II concepts).
Liquid Burn-In Testing — Dielectric Heat-Transfer Bath
Inert, high-dielectric bath for powered device soak with added thermal headroom vs. D02.
High-Voltage / Hipot Soak & Flashover Screening
Insulating bath for hipot/flashover work; strong dielectric and low εr enhance safety margins.
Carrier Fluid for Penetrants (NDT / Liquid Penetrant Concepts)
Low surface tension/viscosity improve wetting into fine discontinuities; moderate bp balances dwell time vs. removal.
Trace-Residue Elimination & Inspection Rinse
Heated or ambient rinses to eliminate trace residues without attacking materials.
Custom Liquid Cooling in Test Rigs & Fixtures
Stable performance for mid-to-high setpoints in thermal plates, baths, and fixture loops.
Electronic & Semiconductor Manufacturing Adjunct Tests
Property-driven vapor/liquid steps where a defined boiling point (~203 °C) or inert heat-transfer liquid is beneficial.
Chemical Processing & Aerospace Test Support (Property-Based Fit)
Inert, non-flammable bath liquid for handling/reactive or environmental test conditions.
