Apiezon Q Sealing Compound Q is a versatile, temporary vacuum sealing medium. It is a soft, putty like substance which is easily molded by hand at ambient temperatures, yet firm enough to remain in position and is readily removed when no longer required.
If a vacuum system develops a leak it is not always possible, or economically viable, to close down that system to undertake repairs. Apiezon Q Sealing Compound Q offers an effective, temporary vacuum seal until such a time as permanent repairs become more convenient. In this way Apiezon Sealing Compound Q may reduce equipment down times and ensure important deadlines are met in production situations.
Apiezon Sealing Compound Q can be used to seal around the edges of flat unground joints, to blank off parts of an apparatus temporarily or to seal glass cylinders to metal plates to produce temporary vacuum enclosures. Whether sealing joints, filling in holes or filling gaps in a vacuum system, Apiezon Q Sealing Compound is extremely versatile and is the ideal leak sealant in a wide array of uses and industries.
Apiezon Sealing Compound Q is easily molded by hand at ambient temperatures, yet firm enough to remain in position. When kneading or rolling Compound Q, care should be taken to ensure that hands and surfaces are clean in order to preserve the low vapor pressure characteristics of the product. It has a vapor pressure of approximately 9 x 10-5 Torr at 20 degrees Celsius ensuring efficacious use where the vacuum requirement is not too low. With a softening point of 45 degrees Celsius, Compound Q should be used where the site of application remains between -10 and 30 degrees Celsius.
Apiezon W waxes are versatile products offering a multitude of uses.
Apiezon waxes are solid at ambient temperatures and are ideal for use where a rigid permanent or semi-permanent sealed joint is required. Apiezon W waxes are equally effective at maintaining seals in vacuum systems down to 10-9 torr at 20 degrees Celsius (dependent on the wax) and in systems at small positive pressures. They are excellent waterproof mediums providing a total seal against liquid water and offer superior sealing against water vapor and atmospheric moisture.
The excellent vapor pressure characteristics are extremely important for a variety of applications, including thin film deposition. Volatiles will not jeopardize the vacuum within the system or contaminate thin film deposits.
