Ultra-High-Vacuum (UHV)
UHV environments are characterized as having
a vacuum of 1x10

Torr or better
In these conditions, materials trapped to the
surface of and inside the steel outgas into the
vacuum environment
The outgassing of material increases pressure in
the environment
Large pumps and long “pump down” times are
required to achieveUHV environments
Silcosteel-UHV treatment produces a barrier that
blocksmaterials from outgassing into the
vacuum environment.
