Diffusil®-T

Diffusil®-T is manufactured from a mix of synthetically produced raw materials and raw materials of natural origin using a special Sol-Gel process.

Due to the special mix of raw materials, it can be used especially in higher temperature ranges, as the softening point is higher. Diffusil®-T also contains evenly distributed gas bubbles of about 4 µm diameter. However, the quantity and size of the gas bubbles are fixed and cannot be specially adjusted.

Diffusil®-T is mainly used in high temperature applications.

Optical Properties

Evenly distributed gas bubbles in the material lead to a uniformly high opacity of Diffusil®-T.

The majority of the bubbles in the material have a diameter of approx. 4 µm. Occasionally, however, there may also be bubbles with larger diameters.
