Can someone please give me examples of volatile liquids which could be used in assembly process on santoprene sealant. It should have a minimal reaction to santoprene and must be volatile,which can also be purchased easily in the industrial market
Well, this is a tricky thing to answer...
First thing that comes to my mind is PDMS or Silicone oil, but you are looking for something volatile at the same time...
Consider to use a small chain alcohol, such as ethanol (non-reactive with xantoprene) and add a small quantity of PDMS or Silicone oil up to the lubrication consistency that you are looking for.
Hopefully there is a sweet spot between having the minimum residue and having enough lubrication.
I hope this helps you.
And if you found another way to solve it, I would love to hear it as well.
