Take a look at your camera or mobile phone – see the tint on the lens; that’s a vacuum coating. …and the chip that processes the call or captures the image; that’s made under vacuum. ..and the colour display; that’s an LCD for which vacuum is essential.

AP201 Vapor Booster Pump Fluid

Apiezon®  AP201 is a hydrocarbon fluid prepared by molecular distillation and protected against oxidation by a thermally stable additive of matched vapor pressure. It has an auto ignition temperature of 305°C.
It exhibits a fair degree of resistance to chemical degradation (so that high throughputs of air and water vapor can be pumped without damage to the fluid) and it can withstand limited accidental admission of atmospheric air at operating temperature. The fluid has low viscosity which permits easy filling and draining. It does not attack synthetic rubbers used for seals and gaskets in vacuum systems. It is non-irritant, non-toxic and environmentally non-polluting.
