Ferrofluid

Ferrotec Corporation (formerly Ferrofluidics) has led the development of ferrofluid technology since 1968 and has worked closely with many companies as their new product teams incorporate ferrofluids in next-generation products. With a comprehensive fluid development and applications laboratories in both the US and Japan, and an experienced staff of scientists and engineers available to assist you, Ferrotec is well placed to help you solve your engineering challenges using ferrofluid.

Ferrofluids are a unique class of material. A ferrofluid is a stable colloidal suspension of sub-domain magnetic nano particles in a liquid carrier. The particles, which have an average size of about 100Å (10 nm), are coated with a stabilizing dispersing agent (surfactant) which prevents particle agglomeration even when a strong magnetic field gradient is applied to the ferrofluid.
