Water contamination is a major culprit in lubrication based failures. One of the primary means which water enters a system is through the air. External breathers without any defense against moisture allow unwanted water into the system. The solution? A hygroscopic breather, which removes moisture from the air before it enters the system.

The Fluid Life Corporation is proud to offer a line of hygroscopic breathers manufactured by the Des-Case Corporation in order to combat airborne moisture contamination.

Which breather is right for you?

Disposable Breathers (DC-1, DC-2, DC-3, DC-4) provide the most cost-effective means of protection. A clear body allows the user to easily recognize when the breather must be changed. The blue silica gel inside changes to a light pink color when maximum water adsorption has been reached. Three-micron filtration exceeds most industry standards.

Des-Case breathers incorporate a proven, field-tested design. They prevent water and contaminants from entering fluid reservoirs as differential pressures occur through thermal expansion and contraction of the fluid, or during the filling or emptying process.
