Product Description and Applications

HDIS-PG-60 is a superior heat transfer fluid for any applications requiring a non-hazardous but durable heat transfer medium which can operate over a wide temperature range. The propylene glycol base is diluted with high-purity deionized water to increase the stability of the fluid and minimize scaling problems. None of the inhibitors used in this product are classified as hazardous, which makes it acceptable for applications in which incidental contact with food materials may occur. HDIS-PG-60 will protect all metals commonly used in cooling systems from corrosion, including copper, solder, brass, steel, cast iron and aluminum, as supported by ASTM D 1384 test results. It is also compatible with most plastics and elastomers. This product is especially suited for colder climates where wintertime shutdowns could prove to be a major problem in terms of freeze-ups and equipment damage. HDIS-PG-60 will operate at fluid temperatures down to -50ºF, and will not begin to form crystals until -60ºF. Crystal/liquid slushes continue to thicken as the temperature falls, but will not freeze solid until well below -100ºF, providing excellent burst protection for piping and equipment.

HDIS-PG-60 is designed to provide a long service life. Its inhibitor system contains no silicates, which tend to form gelatinous sludges over time, and no oxidizing inhibitors, which accelerate the degradation of propylene glycol. Under normal operating conditions, HDIS-PG-60 should last for many years.

To assist our customers in prolonging the life of their fluids, Additives Inc. provides free fluid analyses at six-month intervals. Our laboratory will test your samples for all key specification properties and inhibitor levels, and provide you with a report on the test results. We will make recommendations as appropriate, based on our findings, and can provide you with inhibitor/pH/reserve alkalinity booster packages, if necessary. We will also test samples for our customers for start-up or fluid replacement situations and whenever trouble-shooting assistance is needed.

Quality Control

To ensure quality control and assurance, all blending is controlled under ISO 9002 standards. Each individual batch rigorously tested for conformance with product and industry specifications prior to storage, packaging, or shipment. This laboratory analysis is thoroughly conducted by Additives Inc. A Certificate of Analysis for each lot is produced and is available to customers.

Technical Support

It is always necessary to confirm that your products meet the required specifications. Additives Inc.'s laboratory and chemists are available to test any antifreeze products containing Additives Inc.'s Add Pak as a complimentary service. In this way, Additives Inc. can help you to establish or confirm your quality control and assurance program. However, we will not warranty any Additives Inc.'s product if the blending procedure is not properly followed and/or if the glycol being used contains impurities that do not allow the final product to meet the minimum ASTM standards.

Guarantee - Warranty

Additives Inc. will only warranty our products if instructions and outlined procedures are followed. It is always necessary to confirm that your product meets the required specifications using the ASTM recognized tests and standards. Should you have a problem meeting your required specifications, Additives Inc. technical personnel will test your glycol, while you establish use levels of our products.
