as usual, i have a slightly weird interdisciplinary question... in a nut shell, i am looking for a non-conductive, low viscosity, teflon-compatible fluid which i can put in an oceanographic instrument with some electronics (IC's, motor, and batteries) as a pressure compensating fluid! some net folk may be familiar with fluorinert (FC-77), a 3M chemical used for electronics testing (heat cycles, etc?)... well i have been using this as a pressure compensating fluid, but it is "incompatible" with teflon (it makes it expan from 3%-7%), and it is keeping me from using a certain teflon shaft seal that i have me heart set on... so, after countless fruitless calls to chemical companies... i am turning to the net... can anyone help? ...thanks in advance... jory bell jory@mit.edu
