DOWFROST™ Propylene Glycol is a propylene glycol-based heat transfer fluid that is used for secondary cooling and heating applications. Great for freeze and burst protection of pipes, and for various deicing, defrosting, and dehumidifying applications. Additionally, It contains specially formulated industrial inhibitors that help prevent corrosion. \ Because propylene glycol fluids have low acute oral toxicity, DOWFROST™ propylene glycol-based fluids are often used in applications where contact with food or beverage products could occur.
Benefits:
- Provide superior heat transfer efficiency
- Better low temperature performance
- Preferred for most heat transfer applications.
Areas of Consideration:
DOWFROST™ Heat Transfer Fluid is the only inhibited glycol made with DOW PuraGuard™ Propylene Glycol USP/EP, a pharmaceutical grade of monopropylene glycol with specified purity greater than 99.8%. By contrast, competitor products are often made from recycled or industrial grade glycols, or from glycols derived from bio-renewable sources. These glycols typically do not meet USP specifications as they contain significant amounts of impurities like ethylene glycol or diethylene glycol, which at certain levels affect toxicity. They also may contain certain other impurities, such as dioxolanes which impart strong odors and cause excessive foam. A great way to prolong fluid lifetime and to lower your cost of ownership, is to use DOWFROST heat transfer fluid because it is made with the highest industry purity propylene glycol combined with long lasting, food safe, corrosion inhibitors.
Applications:
- Secondary heating and cooling
- Freeze and burst protection of pipes
- Various deicing, defrosting, and dehumidifying
