There is over 100 grades of ferrofluid; the above are the most common specific fluids used by major drive unit manufacturers

Beware: some unscrupulous sellers are offering the cheap, commonly available science project type ferrofluid as an audio product. This results in an unpredictable / overdamped output and can soften drive unit adhesive - always double check the origin and the specification.

Ferrofluid is a cooling / damping compound used in the magnetic gap of many tweeters to increase power handling and smooth out the frequency response; it has a tendency to thicken with age, gradually reducing tweeter output to zero. Many old tweeters from the 1980s/90s can be restored to perfect working order by carefully dismantling and cleaning out the old coagulated fluid then replacing with fresh.

This refill kit comprises a high accuracy syringe pre-filled with Ferrofluid specifically formulated for high fidelity tweeter application. There is sufficient in the syringe for 2 tweeters & a micro applicator nozzle is supplied.
