ESSELTHERM GL Polyalkylene Glycol Heat Transfer Fluid (500°F)
Couldn't load pickup availability
A polyalkylene glycol (PAG) based heat transfer fluid rated to 260°C (500°F) with a 249°C (480°F) flash point and a proprietary additive system for longevity and cleanliness in extreme oxidation environments, including open-bath applications.
Used in open heating baths and vented systems, textile and finishing lines, laboratory and pilot-plant heating, and any application where a non-fouling, high-flash-point glycol fluid is preferred over mineral oil.
Available to order from SDI Chemicals. Technical data sheet, SDS and compliance documentation are provided on request; freight and lead time are quoted to your destination, with flexible order quantities. Request a quote with your system volume and delivery ZIP.
