About Solvay

Solvay’s Galden PFPE represents a comprehensive range of high-performance perfluoropolyether fluorinated fluids engineered specifically for demanding electronics and semiconductor applications. Their product portfolio encompasses dielectric heat transfer fluids with operational temperature ranges from -70°C to 290°C, featuring boiling points between 55°C and 270°C.

The Galden HT series offers superior dielectric properties and thermal stability for component immersion cooling, wafer etching, and ion implantation. These fluids offer exceptional chemical resistance and compatibility with various metals, plastics, and elastomers commonly found in semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

For vapour-phase soldering applications, their Galden LS/HS range delivers precise temperature control with a narrow molecular weight distribution, ensuring consistent soldering profiles and minimal thermal shock to sensitive electronic components. The fluids’ inert properties eliminate oxidation concerns during critical assembly processes.
Galden SV variants serve specialised dielectric testing applications, providing reliable insulation properties for high-voltage resistance testing and hermetic seal verification. Their non-flammable characteristics and absence of flash points enhance workplace safety whilst maintaining operational reliability.

As 3M phases out production of Fluorinert and Novec fluids, Solvay’s Galden range offers proven alternatives that meet or exceed performance specifications. The products serve critical applications in semiconductor fabrication, electronic component testing, thermal management systems, and precision cooling solutions. Their chemical inertness, thermal stability, and broad temperature operating windows make them essential for maintaining process integrity in advanced manufacturing environments.
