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.
DET is a dedicated detector fluid tailored for gross leak testing in accordance with MIL-STD-883, MIL-STD-750, and MIL-STD-202, providing reliable penetration of both fine and large defects. Its extreme inertness, cleanliness, and dielectric integrity underpin confident hermeticity verification for high-reliability microelectronics.
Galden® DET is an excellent replacement for 3M Novec FC-84, FC-72, and FC-77 fluids.
Hermetic seal leak testing — Detector fluid
Type I (C1, C3) and Type III (E). Balanced low- and high-boiling components help reveal both small and large leaks while keeping parts residue-free.
High-Voltage / Hipot Soak & Flashover Screening
Very low viscosity, strong dielectric properties for room-to-moderate-temperature insulating baths.
Carrier Fluid for Penetrants (NDT / Liquid Penetrant Concepts)
Low surface tension promotes wetting into micro-discontinuities; low bp aids fast removal.
Trace-Residue Elimination & Inspection Rinse
Excellent for flushing and quick drying without residue.
Electronic & Semiconductor Manufacturing Adjunct Tests
Defined bp (~230 °C) enables property-based vapor/liquid steps in fixtures and lab protocols.
Chemical Processing & Aerospace Test Support (Property-Based Fit)
Inert, non-flammable liquid for sensitive test fixtures and reactive-media handling.
