Bath fluids
Caution:
Carefully read the safety data sheet of the bath fluid used, particularly with regard to
the fire point!
If a bath fluid with a fire point of
≤65 °C is used, only supervised operation is possible.
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.

Caution:
Fire or other dangers when using bath fluids that are not recommended:
Please contact JULABO before using other than recommended bath fluids.
Use only nonacidic and noncorrosive bath fluids.
JULABO assumes no liability for damage caused by the selection of an unsuitable
bath liquid.
Unsuitable bath fluids are fluids which, e.g.,
• are highly viscous
(much higher than recommended at the respective working temperature)
