<strong>Silicone</strong> Fluid Selection Guide<br />

Selecting a silicone fluid<br />

There are two approaches to selecting the proper silicone<br />

fluid for an application. The fluid class can be chosen by<br />

comparing specific physical property requirements in the<br />

property profile by class chart located inside the front cover<br />

or by comparing function and application requirements in the<br />

following table. Once the fluid class is selected, a specific<br />

grade can be determined on the next few pages by following<br />

the color key.<br />
