This silicone grease, infused with desiccant, is suitable for many applications in the construction, electrical, and electronics industries. It is used for waterproofing, insulation, sealing, and potting. It includes an irreversible moisture getter function to protect equipment from oxidation and other damage caused by moisture penetration. The adsorption capacity reaches 9.6% by weight, allowing it to absorb nearly 10% of moisture from the external environment, thereby preventing water from coming into contact with sensitive parts of the equipment for a very long time. This desiccant function adds to the already high barrier properties of the active grease, protecting devices from moisture even when the desiccant is fully saturated. Additionally, since the active grease is solvent-free, it avoids adverse effects from volatile components.

Using Pd or Pt as gate materials, the degradation caused by hydrogen in sealed packages containing gallium arsenide (GaAs) discrete FETs is a well-known phenomenon. The noble metal of the gate converts H2 molecules into H2 atoms, which then diffuse into the semiconductor material, leading to a reduction in current and device gain. Saes Group's hydrogen removal film, Rel-Hy, is a state-of-the-art getter solution. It is optimized to fully meet the very stringent requirements of microelectronic sealed packages suffering from hydrogen-related issues. Phenomena such as gate failures in gallium arsenide-based microelectronic devices caused by hydrogen, or degradation of insulation in ultra-adiabatic low-temperature systems, can be resolved by introducing getters that can selectively adsorb gases. Through Rel-Hy, Saes Getters provides getter solutions with excellent performance to the market, fully accommodating sealed packages such as those mentioned below.

The Saes oxygen dispenser is designed to intentionally add a precise amount of oxygen into the lamp jacket. By adding a precise amount of oxygen, it prevents the deposition of carbon generated from organic materials remaining in the jacket, which causes blackening of the discharge tube. The organic materials left in the lamp are decomposed by the energy of the discharge tube, leading to the generation of carbon. This carbon accumulates on the internal surface of the lamp, forming a thin film. By adding a precise amount of oxygen, the Saes oxygen dispenser converts carbon into carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide before it can adhere to the surface of the burner, thus preventing adhesion. Additionally, when used in conjunction with getters such as Saes's St101 and St777P, it can irreversibly adsorb the generated carbon dioxide and excess oxygen, removing them from inside the lamp. This intentional addition of oxygen combined with the use of getters ensures the continuous maintenance of long-term lamp quality and high reliability. **Features** - Prevention of lamp blackening caused by residual organic materials adhering to the inside of the lamp jacket - Rapid oxygen release after chip-off and initial lamp startup - Stable and precise input of oxygen
