Product Overview
GALDEN® DET Detector Fluid is a perfluoropolyether (PFPE) fluid developed for gross leak detection and hermetic seal testing of electronic devices. It is specifically designed for high-reliability testing applications where detecting small and large leaks is important.
Electronic devices require complete sealing to prevent moisture penetration and potential damage to the electrical response of silicon chips. GALDEN® DET is used as a low-boiling detector fluid in leak testing procedures defined by MIL-STD 883, MIL-STD 750, and MIL-STD 202.
Its formulation provides a balance between low-boiling and high-boiling components, supporting the detection of different leak sizes. High-boiling components enter through larger leaks and remain liquid until testing, while low-boiling components can penetrate smaller leaks.
GALDEN® DET is an inert, residue-free fluid used in Type I and Type III detector fluid applications.
Econtrol Devices is an authorized distributor of TMC Industries, supplying GALDEN® DET Detector Fluid for professional electronic device testing and hermetic seal inspection applications.
