5.2. Bath fluids

Caution:
No liability for use of other bath fluids!
Do not use flammable bath fluids!

Water: The quality of water depends on local conditions.

• Due to the high concentration of lime, hard water is not suitable for
temperature control because it leads to calcification in the bath.
• Ferrous water can cause corrosion - even on stainless steel.
• Chloric water can cause pitting corrosion.
• Distilled and deionized water is unsuitable. Their special properties cause
corrosion in the bath, even in stainless steel.
Recommended bath fluids:
Bath fluid Temperature range
soft/decalcified water 5 °C to 80 °C

See website for list of recommended bath fluids.

Contact: see page 5

Notice:
Please contact JULABO before using other than recommended bath fluids.
Only use non-acid and non corroding bath fluids.

JULABO takes no responsibility for damages caused by the selection of an

unsuitable bath fluid.
Unsuitable bath fluids are liquids which e.g.
• are very highly viscous
(much higher than 30 mm2 /s at the respective working temperature)
• have corrosive characteristics or
• tend to cracking.
