HDIS-1(Adobe PDF)

Product Description and Applications

An industrial-strength glycol-based inhibitor package, HDIS-1 inhibits corrosion, enhances performance and produces outstanding propylene glycol and ethylene glycol heat transfer fluids. Fluids made with HDIS-1 are versatile and long-lasting in even the most demanding applications. They can be used effectively in cooling systems for the large, stationary diesel engines used to drive natural gas compressors; in line heaters and bath heaters used to keep natural gas above its hydrate formation temperature; in engine generator sets for electrical power production; combustion air preheaters; and industrial diesel engines.

HDIS-1 contains no silicates, but has an outstanding non-silicate aluminum corrosion protection system. It contains no nitrates or amines. HDIS-1 protects against cavitation erosion/corrosion in wet-piston-sleeve diesel engines, and is available in a high-nitrite version (2400 ppm minimum NO2 in heat transfer fluid concentrate) that meets ASTM D 6210 and ATA TMC RP 329.

Industry Specifications

HDIS-1 meets or exceeds the requirements of:

  • ASTM D 1384 - Corrosion in glassware of steel, cast iron, aluminum, copper, brass and solder.

  • ASTM D 4340 - Aluminum corrosion at heat transfer surfaces
  • ASTM D 2570 - Simulated service metal coupon corrosion test
  • ASTM D 6210 - Fully-formulated precharged coolant standard
  • ATA TMC RP 329 - Fully-formulated, precharged coolant standard

Use Instructions

For very demanding applications, 2.2 gallons (281.6 ounces) of HDIS-1 mixed with 52.8 gallons of industrial grade propylene or ethylene glycol will produce one 55 gallon drum of 96% concentrate. In bulk use 4 gallons of HDIS-1 per 96 gallons of glycol.

For less demanding uses, shorter-term applications or situations in which glycol losses may be high (as in certain line heaters and dehydrators) use rates from 0.2% to 2.0% often provide more than adequate protection from glycol oxidation and metal corrosion.

Water Quality and Dilution:
Propylene or ethylene glycol-containing HDIS-1 may be diluted to levels in the 30-50% glycol range with water containing up to 300 ppm (total) hardness (salts of magnesium calcium, etc.). Higher hardness levels may cause excessive inhibitor consumption, scale deposits and metal pitting. Additives Inc. can provide fully-formulated HDIS-1 inhibited glycols, diluted with deionized water, if the availability of a suitably balanced source of water is a problem.

Fluid Maintenance
Coolants made with HDIS-1 can be reinhibited to maintain the integrity and quality of the glycol base and minimize the buildup of corrosion and glycol degradation byproducts.

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.
