- Abstract
- Nine new fluids, comprised of four polyhaloketals, two polyfluoroethers, one ester, and two polymers, have been synthesized. Eight of the above compounds have been fully characterized and evaluated with respect to specific gravity, viscosity, viscosity-temperature characteristics, flash points, fire points, and auto-ignition temperature. The ester was too unstable for evaluation.
