FINISHED HIGH TEMPERATURE HEAT TRANSFER FLUIDS

Additives Inc. can provide the finished propylene or ethylene glycol-based fluids inhibited with Additives Inc. Add Paks. These can be concentrates or fluids prediluted to any desired level with deionized water, as in Additives Inc. HDIS-PG-60.

For higher temperature applications, Additives Inc. offers you a line of alkylate and polyalkylene glycol-based fluids. The most versatile of these is HITEMP-200, which has an operating range of -40° F to 600° F. All of these fluids are extremely stable and resistant to thermal and oxidative degradation. These fluids are used in applications such as chemical plant heating systems, refinery heat exchange systems, certain gas plant process heating systems, injection molding systems, pulp and paper processing, and asphalt melters. In the latter application, most asphalt melters use less expensive heat transfer oils. However, these mineral oils (Mobiltherm, Texatherm, etc.) thermally and oxidatively degrade to form carbon and sludge. Often the user is better off in the long run to use a synthetic like HITEMP-200, even though it costs more initially, because it lasts much longer and doesn’t involve system clean-outs and fluid change-outs as do heat transfer oils.

Characteristics/Capabilities
High-Temperature Heat Transfer Fluids (HITEMP-100, HITEMP-200, HITEMP-300):

• Non-glycol-based alkylates and polyalkylene glycols
• High level of thermal and oxidative stability
• Operating range of -40° F to 700°F
• Flash points from 325° F to 650°F

Applications
Glycols reach their upper operating temperature limit at 250°F to 300°F. Heat transfer oils can operate up to 650°-750°F, but are not as stable and degrade, forming sludge and coking up heat transfer surfaces. At high-temperatures, heat transfer fluids provide a clean, high-boiling-point, high-flash-point alternative. They are used in gas processing plants, chemical processing plants, refineries, pulp processing plants, rubber and plastic die and mold operations, laminating and calendering rolls, drying ovens, zinc and aluminum dye-casting, etc.

HITEMP-100 Inhibited/stabilized HITEMP-100 possesses excellent heat transfer characteristics, with a high specific heat and thermal conductivity. With its high flash and boiling points and low pour point, it may be used in continuous operation over a temperature range of 0° F to 600° F. HITEMP-100 functions efficiently at atmospheric and low pressures, eliminating the need for high pressures to obtain uniform process heat transfer.

HDIS-1-PG/EG (Inhibited Propylene Glycol Heat Transfer Fluid) HDIS-1-PG/EG 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.

HTF-EG-1 and HTF-EG-2 This ethylene glycol-based heat transfer fluid, HTF-EG, provides dependable, and superior, corrosion-inhibiting properties for use under the most demanding industrial conditions. HTF-EG is appropriate for use in systems containing steel, solder, cast iron, brass, and aluminum, and is compatible with most types of plastic piping. HTF-EG-1 performs well in the temperature range between -60ºF and 250ºF. HTF-EG-2 works between -60ºF and 350ºF.

HTF-PG (Heat Transfer Fluid - Propylene Glycol) HTF-PG is for use in systems containing steel, solder, cast iron, brass and aluminum; and is compatible with most types of plastic piping. This versatile product performs well in the temperature range between -50°F to 250°F.

HTF-PG-HD (Heavy-Duty Heat Transfer Fluid - Propylene Glycol) HTF-PG, provides dependable, and superior, corrosion-inhibiting properties for use under the most demanding industrial conditions. It uses the Additives Inc. HVAC-1 additive system. HTF-PG is appropriate for use in systems containing steel, solder, cast iron, brass, and aluminum, and is compatible with most types of plastic piping. This versatile product performs well in the temperature range between -50ºF and 325ºF.

HTF-PG/FP (Fire Protection System Inhibition Package - Propylene Glycol Based) HTF-PG/FP protects fire system parts - pumps, piping and tankage - from freezing, corrosion and extended periods of exposure to motionless fluid. The stabilized inhibitor package prevents "fall out" and silicate gelation while protecting the ferrous metals (steel or cast iron), the "soft" or "yellow" metals (copper, brass, solder), and aluminum.

HDIS-PG-60 (Inhibited Propylene Glycol Heat Transfer Fluid) 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.

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.
