$4jSilicones Silicones are a family of man-made materials having their origins in silicon, an abundant, rock-like substance derived from quartz, and in organic hydrocarbons such as petroleum. General Elec tric was the first to develop commercial silicones in the late 1930's and early 1940's, and today manufactures well over 900 different silicone products. Silicone Rubber Silicone rubber can withstand temperatures up to 600F, remain flexible down to --65F, and offer years of resistance to temperature extremes, ozone, aging and weathering unmatched by any other elas tomers. Silicone rubbers today match organic rub bers in physical properties. They can be molded, ex truded, or fabricated by any conventional method and are widely used for seals, gaskets, shock mounts, and wire insulation in aerospace, automotive and other industrial applications. The creation of RTV (room temperature vulcanizing) silicone rubbers expanded the uses for this material. RTV silicone rubber is used for molds for precise plastic reproductions, protective coatings and as a liquid roofing material in the construction industry, and made possible silicone rubber sealants. Adhesives and Sealants RTV silcone rubber products are widely used as ad hesives and sealants. Long life, temperature resist ance, and weatherability make them ideal for interior or exterior use. General Electric silicone adhesives have been used to hold photo-cells to the exterior surfaces of spacecraft and satellites. Silicone seal ants are also widely used in aircraft, manned space craft, a wide variety of OEM applications and in building construction. Electrical Insulation Silicones have outstanding electrical properties which are retained over a wide temperature range. Combined with their resistance to corona, ozone and aging, their properties make silicones ideal insulat ing materials for the most demanding service. Sili cone resins are used as coil impregnating varnishes and as binders for mica products. Both resins and rubber are used in electrical tapes. Other electrical uses include dielectric fluids and compounds, wire and cable insulation and RTV silicone rubber potting and encapsulating compounds. Lubricants and Mechanical Fluids Silicone lubricants can solve almost any extreme tem perature lubrication problem. Silicone fluids main tain relatively constant viscosities over a wide tem perature range. Silicone greases do not harden at low temperatures or soften or bleed at high tempera tures. Silicone protective compounds guard against moisture and corrosion. Silicone mechanical fluids have excellent shear resist ance as well as outstand ing viscosity/temperature characteristics. They are used as power transmis sion fluids in such devices as constant-speed automomobile fan drives, and in damping and heat-transfer applications. DSW 233361 STLCOPCB4053830 Silicones (continued) vide the base for architectural and equipment finishes with outstanding weatherability and long-term gloss retention. These durable fin ishes promise substantial maintenance savings. Silicone resins are used in the best high-tem perature paints and masonry water repellents. Silicone non-stick coatings are used on release paper. Silicone textile finishes make fabrics water and stain repellent. Plastics NORYL Thermoplastic Resins NORYLO)thermoplastic resins,based on GE's own poly phenylene oxide technology, provide a family of materials priced in the middle range of the engineering plastics with properties rivaling even the most expensive materials. NORYL resins offer exceptional resistance to high tempera tures and hot water. They are used extensively in business machine housings and appliances, and in electrical, water distribution, and automotive applications. Processing Aids and Additives Silicone release agents are used in molding rubber, plastic, and die-cast metal parts. They provide quick, easy release and reduce mold build-up, since they resist breakdown at mold ing temperatures. Silicone antifoam agents con trol foam in chemical processing. Special sili cone surfactants are used in the manufacture of polyurethane foam to control cell size and provide uniformity. Silicone additives improve processability, appli cation characteristics, and service life in many products. Silicone additives improve gloss, rubout, and water-repellency in auto and furniture polishes, and significantly improve the perform ance of cosmetics, aerosols, cleaners, and hun dreds of consumer products. Phenolics Oldest of General Electric's engineering plastics, phenolic molding compounds still offer performance advantages over newer materials where heat resistance, chemical re sistance and dimensional stability are required. Phenolic compounds are commonly used for wiring devices, appli ance parts, automotive applications, and computer parts. DSW 233362 STLCOPCB4053831 manufactures a unique group of high-performance engineering plastics covering performance, processing, and cost requirements. GENAL New GENAL compounds are the industry's only thermo sets made and controlled specifically for the screwinjection molding. The GENAL line combines top per formance with the consistent and predictable moldability of the best engineering thermoplastics, at a lower price. GENAL products and the injection molding process open several new application areas previously served by thermoplastics with processing advantages, which no longer exist. Sheet Products No other material matches LEXAN polycarbonate sheet in offering superior product performance, easy process ing and significant cost savings. It combines the best properties of both glass and metal while providing the inherent processing economies found in many of today's engineering thermoplastics. The result is window glaz ing that just won't break, tougher, more serviceable air craft components, and many other new products where LEXAN sheet is replacing metal, glass, and fiberglass reinforced polyester. NORYL sheet offers a balance of performance, and economy ideal for business machine and appliance LEXAN Polycarbonate Resins General Electric's tough, rigid, transparent, LEXAN poly carbonate resins combine many performance features of metal, glass and other engineering thermoplastics. Their broad performance versatility is matched by equally impressive versatility of fabrication. This com bination means consistent and economical production of parts and products which capitalize fully on the out standing properties of the material. While LEXAN has more than a dozen useful properties, those most commonly called for are: exceptional impact strength, dimensional stability, self-extinguishing behavior, creep resistance, high-heat resistance, and water-clear transparency. DSW 233363 STLCOPCB4053832 (^Insulating Materials General Electric's strength in materials technology also provides hundreds of traditional and innovative products for electrical, insulation, and high-performance coating applications in scores of industries. Mica Products Because of their unusually good voltage endurance, General Electric's mica products have gained a repu tation for reliability that is unexcelled by that of any other insulation product in the electrical industry. Insu lation products such as built-up mica and MICA MAT<T> enable many designers and manufacturers to place more insulation in less space, a benefit that is further enhanced by the wide variety of forms in which mica products are available: rolls, tapes, plate, wrapper and composite sheets. Coated Materials General Electric Coated Materials are designed for reliable insula tion protection in applications calling for motor coil tapes, wrappers, phase and layer insulation. Coated Mate rials are also recom mended for ground, layer, and window insu lation in transformers, while stiff versions serve as excellent replacements for laminated plastics in slot-spacer and pad-insulat ing applications. Cable Accessories General Electric cable acces sory products have contin ually proved their value to electric utility linemen and electrical contractors in help ing to speed the distribution of electric power. In this prod uct area, General Electric has introduced such advances as TERMI-MATICm Cable Ter mination Systems that cut application time from as much as two hours to as little as thirty seconds, UNI-KIT<R> and TERMI-KIT<R) Cable Splic ing and Terminating Systems that save significant time in application over conventional hand-taped systems, and General Electric ALL WEATH ER Vinyl Plastic Electrical Tape for a superior combina tion of properties in a va riety of indoor and outdoor applications. Insulating Varnishes General Electric solvent less and conventional in sulating varnishes are perfect for bonding coil structures and wires, protecting windings from adverse environments, and filling voids for better heat transfer and corona resistance. They also serve as electrical insula tion or as adhesives in certain products. Paints and Coatings General Electric's advances in paint and coating technology are opening new doorways to vastly improved finishes for industrial and consumer products. GE GLYPTAL(R> paints serve many industries with a neat appearing, fast drying, hard glossy surface that can withstand a variety of adverse conditions. Insulating Materials Department is also evaluating its complex polyimide polymer technology that will result in new grades of highly durable industrial and commercial finishes far superior to existing materials.

Silicone fluids may be used as hydraulic fluids, fluid dielectrics for electronic components, * liquid phase dielectric coolants, as liquid springs and damping fluids, fpl I fluids for power transmissions, heat transfer, rust prevention, water f repellency . . . there is no limit to the variety of applications. The existence of such a wide range of silicone fluids fulfills the varying requirements of thousands of applications and provides potential solutions and advantages for new products. In chemical structure, silicone fluids are quite different from all other fluids. Where organic hydrocarbon fluids are based on a backbone of carbon-to-carbon atoms, silicone fluids have a backbone of silicon-oxygen linkages similar to the Si-0 linkages in other high-temperature materials (quartz, glass and sand). It is this Si-0 linkage that contributes to the outstanding broad-temperature characteristics and general inertness of silicone fluids. The Silicone Products Department of the General Electric Company produces a comprehensive line of silicone fluids for hundreds of applica tions in almost every industry. This data book is designed to provide a convenient reference source for commonly used silicone fluids. Your General Electric silicone products representative or distributor will be pleased to help you select the right General Electric silicone fluid to meet your requirements. i COVER: Silicone fluids can be used in high-temperature applications; they will also flow freely at low temperatures. Inasmuch as General Electric Company has no control over the use to which others may put the material, it does not guarantee that the same results as those described herein will be obtained. Each user o1 the material should make his own tests to determine the material's suitability tor his own particular use. Statements concerning possible or suggested uses of the materials described herein are not to be construed as constituting a license under any General Electric patent covering such use or as recommendations tor use of such materials in the infringement of any patent. DSW 233372 2 STLCOPCB4053841 PROPERTIES OF SILICONE FLUIDS The chemical structure of General Electric silicone fluids gives them a unique combination of properties which permits silicone fluids to perform in many applications where no other fluids are suitable. Some of the outstanding properties of General Electric silicone fluids are: LOW VISCOSITY - TEMPERATURE CHANGE -- All fluids show some degree of change in viscosity with temperature change, but General Electric silicone fluids exhibit a much smaller amount of change over a wider temperature range than non-silicone fluids. WIDE TEMPERATURE RANGE -- Low-temperature limits and hightemperature capabilities of General Electric silicone fluids far surpass conventional fluids. EXCELLENT THERMAL STABILITY -- General Electric silicone fluids show excellent stability when exposed to very high temperatures for long periods of time. EXCELLENT OXIDATION STABILITY-- The oxidation stability of General Electric silicone fluids is excellent. Absence of copper-induced oxidation is especially important and contrasts with the sludging that occurs with mineral oils, especially at high temperatures. CHEMICAL INERTNESS -- General Electric silicone fluids are chemically inert to most common materials of construction. NON-FLAMMABILITY--General Electric silicone fluids are self-extinguishing. Most have flash points in excess of 550F and auto ignition temperatures in the range of 820 to 860F. LOW SURFACE TENSION -- All General Electric silicone fluids have unusually low surface tensions which help provide easy and efficient spreading, high surface activity and low internal cohesive energies. HIGH COMPRESSIBILITY -- General Electric silicone fluids have the unusual property of being highly compressible -- much more so than petroleum oils and other organic liquids. EXCELLENT SHEAR STABILITY --Silicone fluids have unusually high resistance to breakdown by mechanical shearing. The shear stability of silicone fluids can be as much as twenty times that of quality petroleum oils, providing longer life at higher speeds and loadings. EXCELLENT HEAT CONDUCTIVITY --The thermal conductivity of General Electric silicone fluids is relatively constant over a wide temperature range, making them an ideal choice for hydraulic fluids and coolants. EXCELLENT DIELECTRIC PROPERTIES -- General Electric electrical grade silicone fluids offer excellent dielectric properties which are maintained for prolonged peripds, even under adverse operating conditions. NON-CORROSIVE -- General Electric silicone fluids contain no acidproducing chemicals to cause staining or corrosion. DSW 233373 3 STLCOPCB4053842 SILICONE FLUIDS PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS AND SELECTION General Electric offers a complete line of silicone fluids in a wide viscosity range to provide maximum latitude in selecting the specific silicone fluid to meet the requirements of a particular industrial, military or consumer application. While it is difficult to recommend the use of any one fluid for an application, the Application Guide on pages 6 and 7 lists various applications and indicates the General Electric silicone fluids most frequently used. (These suggestions are not meant to exclude any other General Electric silicone fluid from a given application.) Generally speaking, it is best to evaluate several possible silicone fluids to determine which will provide the optimum performance in an application. Listed below are descriptions of the commonly used General Electric silicone fluids with examples of the types of applications for which the fluids are designed. I; { | J SF-96 General Electric SF-96 silicone fluids are dimethyl polysiloxane fluids. They are clear, water-white, oily fluids; non toxic, inert, tasteless and odorless. SF-96 fluids are available in standard viscosity grades; nominally 5, 20, 50, 100, 200, 350, 500, 1000 and 2000 centistokes at 25C. The actual viscosity is controlled within 5 percent of the nominal viscocity in the grades of 50 centistokes or higher. The 5 and 20 centistoke grades are controlled within 10 percent of the nominal viscosity. The unique combination of properties associated with the SF-96 fluids makes them suitable for plastic and rubber lubrication, as dampening or heat transfer fluids, and as an oil defoamer. These fluids are also used in shock absorbers, liquid timers, high-temperature baths, liquid springs, and other similar applications. SF-97 General Electric dimethyl polysiloxane silicone fluids of the SF-97 series are clear, water-white, oily liquids. Chemically, the SF-97 fluids are identical to the SF-96 series but have been specially processed and controlled to meet electrical grade specifications. SF-97 fluids are available in standard viscosities; nominally 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1000 centistokes at 25C. The actual viscosity is controlled within 5 percent of the nominal viscosity in the grades of 50 centistokes or higher. The 20 centistoke grade is controlled within 10 percent of the nominal viscosity. The unique properties of General Electric SF-97 electrical grade silicone fluids extends their capabilities beyond those of conventional dielectric fluids making them suitable for use in: capacitors, pulse transformers, specialty transformers, air-borne and landbased radar equipment, television circuit components and in systems where heat transfer properties are as necessary as dielectric behavior. For example, components such as power tubes used in tracking and guidance systems utilize silicone fluids to remove heat and permit operation in extremely close quarters with other devices. Other units that can benefit from the heat transfer properties of SF-97 fluids include: electronic modules, microwave tubes, power rectifiers, junction tube transformers, magnetrons, klystrons and deflection amplifiers, in these applications, silicone fluids are used to help maintain circuit stability and reliability under the most stringent conditions of continuous, high-duty operation. 5 1 VISCASIL Viscasil silicone fluids are clear, water-white dimethyl polysiloxane fluids with no suspended particulate matter. They are non-toxic, inert, tasteless and odorless. The Viscasil fluids are available in standard viscosity grades of 5,000, 10,000, 12,500, 30,000, 60,000, 500,000, 600,000, and 1,000,000 centistokes at 25C. Viscasil fluids are characterized by relatively small change in viscosity over a wide temperature range. They have good oxidative stability, unusual chemical inertness and resistance to breakdown under mechanical shearing. Viscasil fluids are especially useful for linear and torsional dampeners, viscous drive clutches, speed control devices, liquid springs, dashpots, rubber and plastic lubricant, timing devices, and are the base fluids for silicone compounds. SF-18 . General Electric SF-18 silicone fluid is a clear, water-white, oily liquid. The fluid is tasteless, and odorless. This specially prepared dimethyl polysiloxane fluid meets the requirements of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act for use as a component of antifoam agents contributing no more than 10 ppm of the fluid to food, other than milk and articles intended for the feeding of infants and invalids. SF-18 may be used for the same applications as a dimethyl polysiloxane fluid of 350 centistokes viscosity, particularly where a silicone of especially high purity is required. It is particularly well suited to the manufacture of cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations calling for a dimethyl polysiloxane fluid. The principal application for SF-18 is as a defoamer or antifoam agent in itself, or as the base fluid for defoamer compounds incorporating silicones. This fluid may also be used as a release agent on conveyors, heat sealers and many other kinds of machinery used 'in the processing and handling of goods. SF-81 General Electric SF-81 is a dimethyl pojysiloxane silicone fluid that is very similar to the SF-96 series in most of its properties and has been developed for low temperature operation without sacrifice in high temperature properties. This silicone fluid has an extremely low pour point of -120F but still retains excellent high temperature properties. It is suggested for applications where low temperatures (below -- 60F) are encountered and is available only in the single viscosity grade, 50 centistokes at 25C. SF-81 is especially useful as low temperature damping media, heat transfer media, dielectric coolants, and is a base fluid for low temperature silicone compounds. * Trademark of General Electric Company. 4 DSW 233374 STLCOPCB4053843 SF-99 SF-99 is a clear, low viscosity dimethyl polysiloxane silicone fluid that may be polymerized by proper application of heat and/or catalysis to yield water repellent surface coatings. The addition of metallic paint driers (such as tin or lead naphthenates) followed by moderate heating will develop the desired polymeric film. SF-99 may be used as a water-repellent film on glass or other ceramics to obtain reliable operation of electronic equipment under conditions of wide changes of temperature and humidity. This silicone fluid is also used as a coating for water-repellency, increased durability or enhanced handling properties and may be applied to a number of substrate materials such as paper, fabrics, wood, and metals. SF-1029 General Electric's chlorophenylmethyl silicone fluid SF-1029, meets the requirements specified in Table 5 and Paragraph 5 of the American Petroleum Institute's "Bulletin on Thread Compounds" (No. 5A2, Third Edition). This fluid is specifically designed for use in the API thread lube formulation and shows much better lubricating properties than standard dimethyl polysiloxane or methylphenyl silicone fluids. In addition to its lubricating properties, SF-1029 shows excellent high temperature stability, resisting gelation for long periods at extreme temperatures. SF-1093 SF-1093 silicones fluids have unique high temperature resistance allowing their use up to 550F in the presence of air for extended periods without sacrifice in low temperature properties. Their unusual extreme temperature per formance combines with a relatively flat viscosity-temperature relationship, high flash point and excellent shear stabliity, thus making them extremely versatile materials. General Electric SF-1093 siilcone fluids are dimethyl polysiloxane fluids created by combining an oxidation inhibitor with dimethyl fluids. They are amber colored, non-toxic and essentially odorless. SF-1093 fluids are available in viscosities of 50, 100, and 500 centistokes at 25C. The 50 centistoke viscosity is controlled within 10 percent of its nominal viscosity while the higher viscosities are controlled within 5 percent of their nominal voscosities. Inter mediate viscosities may be obtained by blending. Because of the method of combining the oxidation inhibitor in the fluid, extended use at either high or low temperatures will produce no sludge or other precipitation. In addition, General Electric silicone fluids of the SF-1093 series are more resistant, in most cases, to oxidation breakdown at high temperatures than the more expensive methyl phenyl polysiloxanes. The excellent high temperature properties of SF-1093 fluids suggests their use in high temperature heat transfer applications, laboratory constant temperature baths, aerosol oven sprays, high temperature fluid clutches, military applications requiring extreme temperature operation, mechanical damping, thermostats, and as a mold release. SF-1093 fluids are not recommended for closed or inert systems where air is not present. SF-1153 SF-1153 is a methyl phenyl polysiloxane silicone fluid exhibiting excellent low temperature properties without sacrificing high temperature performance. Besides its unique low temperature properties, this fluid possesses a relatively flat viscosity-temperature relationship, excellent shear stability and a high flash point. The SF-1153 is also more resistant to oxidation breakdown at high temperatures than a dimethyl fluid. The properties of SF-1153 fluid makes it ideal for low temperature damping applications such as aircraft instruments and electronic equipment. Other mechanical applications include the use of SF-1153 as heat transfer media, dielectrii coolant and low temperature lubricant involving light to moderate bearing loads. SF-1153 is also used as a base fluid in silicone greases for ball bearing lubrication from -- 100F to 400F. SF-1154 SF-1154 methyl phenyl polysiloxane silicone fluid is a clear, light-straw colored liquid which possesses even better heat stability than the dimethyl polysiloxane silicone materials. This outstanding heat resistance is combined with low volatility and high flash point to provide a normal useful service temperature range of -40 to 500F. General Electric SF-1154 is an excellent choice for high temperature heat transfer applications or as a base fluid in high temperature greases. In addition, its excellent electrical properties make it useful as a dielectric coolant, high tem perature ultra-sonic coupler, high temperature heat bath and oxide protector for solder baths. F-50 and F-44 Versilube F-50 Is an additive-free silicone lubricating fluid with a useful temperature range from -100F up to 450F. This fluid exhibits excellent temperature viscosity characteristics, chemical and physical properties, oxidative and thermal stability. Versilube F-50 will lubricate many metal combinations in sliding, rolling, and anti-friction mechanisms, however, it is not recommended when both surfaces are soft metals. For operating temperatures above 450F (up to 550) or for applications where severe and relative continuous oxidizing conditions exist, Versilube F-44 should be used. F-44, however, should not be used in closed or inert systems where air is not present. Typical applications where Versilube fluids are used include: hydraulic systems; fluid transmissions, vacuum pumps and high vacuum lubrication; servo motors and mechanisms; instruments, controls, clocks, and timers; machine tool components; anti-friction, rolling, and sliding mechanisms; and bearings in high ambient temperature industries. SF-1147 Versilube Plus SF-1147 methyl alkyl polysiloxane silicone fluid is a high temperature hydraulic and lubricating fluid. This fluid is a combination of a hydrocarbon and a silicone so formulated to produce a fluid that has the most desirable prop erties of both. The basic polysiloxane structure of alternating silicone-oxygen atoms has been maintained; and organic and hydrocarbon radicals have been molecularly attached to the silicone atom. The integral antioxidant is chemically bound to the silicone atom which provides for a more stable and longer-life fluid. Typical applications for the SF-1147 fluid are: lubricant for impregnating sintered metal bearings for fans and motors, hydraulic fluid, fluid for machine operations with aluminum -- drilling, tapping, hobbing, broaching, turning, spinning, drawing, extruding; instrument lubrication. 5 DSW 233375 STLCOPCB4053844 '/M'a SILICONE FLUIDS APPLICATION GUIDE SF-96 SF-97 Nominal Viscosity (ctks.) at 25C.

Where the properties of silicones fall beyond the norm for petroleum products, test methods have been modified and new methods have been devised. In most cases, however, standard ASTM test methods are applicable. ASTM D 2225-63 describes methods of testing silicone fluids. The use of silicone fluids in military applications has become widespread. As a result of this, a military Specification designated W-D-001078(GSA-FSS) has been written to describe "dimethyl polysiioxane silicone fluids having viscosities of 0.65 through 200,000 centistokes." This is a coordinated specification to be used by all branches of the military. The following table lists standard ASTM test methods that are used to test silicone fluids. ASTM TEST METHODS Property - Dielectric Constant Dielectric Strength Dissipation Factor Fire Point Flash Point Test D 924 D 877 D 924 D 92 D 92 Property Pour Point Specific Gravity Viscosity Refractive Index Volume Resistivity Test D 97 D 1298 D 445 D 1807 D 1169 TOXICITY FDA STATUS Comprehensive tests on laboratory animals have demonstrated that silicone fluids, as a class, are very low in toxicity and present no significant handling problems. In acute oral feeding tests, it has not been possible to feed test animals enough of the silicone fluids tested to establish an LD50 (dosage required to kill fifty percent of the test animals). It has been estimated that about three quarts could be fed to a 155 pound man during a brief period without inducing toxic effects. Patch testing of silicone fluids has shown no skin irritation. Draize eye irritation studies of these materials did indicate slight temporary irritation of the mucous membranes which cleared within 24 hours and caused no corneal damage. General Electric silicone fluids are used in many food-oriented applications as either direct or indirect food additives. Dimethylpolysiloxane fluids (the SF-96 series, SF-18, and Viscasil fluids) and methylphenylpolysiloxane fluids (SF-1153, SF-1154) are sanctioned by the Food and Drug Administration for many applications as indicated in the Food Additive Regulations. In some cases, there are viscosity restrictions on the silicone which may be used. FOOD ADDITIVE REGULATIONS WHICH REFER TO SILICONES 1.

They are completely miscible in typical aliphatic and aromatic solvents, including the halogenated solvents, but are only partially miscible with the intermediate petroleum fractions such as the naphthenes. These materials can dissolve enough silicone, partcularly of the lower viscosity grades, to be suitable for many purposes. The dimethyl silicone fluid family (SF-96, SF-81, etc.) and SF-1153 are insoluble in the higher hydrocarbons, lube oils, waxes, fatty acids, vegetable oils and animal oils. SF-1147 and SF-1154 silicone fluids are soluble in the higher hydrocarbons, lube oils, waxes, fatty acids, vegetable oils and animal oils.

The following blend chart provides a means for determining the proper blend ratio. The chart below should be used as follows: 1. Decide upon the viscosity grades to be blended. For high accuracy, measure the actual viscosity of the blending fluids. 2. Locate the lower viscosity on the left hand scale. 3. Locate the higher viscosity on the right hand scale. 4. Connect these two points with a straight line. 5. Locate the point where the line indicating the desired blend viscosity intersects the constructed line. From this point, follow down to the horizontal scale to read the percent of the higher viscosity fluid to use in the blend. This method is reasonably accurate in predicting blend viscosity when the two fluids differ in viscosity by no more than one magnitude (one power of ten). When fluids covering a wider range are blended, the chart will only approximate the finished viscosity. SF-96 (500) and SF-96 (100) are used in the example on the chart.
