What is Ferrofluid?
2020-11-20
Ferrofluid (magnetic-fluid) is a functional material attracted to magnets and magnetized by external magnetic fields. In the 1960’s NASA Space Program, it was developed to transport fuel in zero gravity. Currently it is used in speakers, actuators, sensors, recycling separation applications, and also in vacuum seals, one of our company’s core products.
The ferrofluid that we use in our Ferrofluid Seals is not available for purchase as a Stand-alone Product
Because we carefully engineer our Ferrofluid seals to meet the unique performance requirements of your target application, Ferrotec does not sell the ferrofluid that we use in our seals. If you are looking for the precision, performance and reliability associated with a Ferrofluid seal, you need to purchase a Genuine Ferrofluid seal.
Sometimes customers will ask us if they can purchase the ferrofluid that we use our vacuum feedthrough products. Typically, these customers hope to use our ferrofluid to repair an old seal or upgrade an under performing solution. If you are trying to repair or upgrade an existing seal, consider our seal repair service.
