Did you know there are many options to consider when selecting thermal fluids?

  1. Temperature is Everything – match your bulk temperature but also consider film temperature, heater type
  2. Controlling Oxidation – high temperature air exposure can destroy the wrong fluid quickly
  3. Maximizing Fluid Life – short-term or long-term use – invest wisely
  4. Availability is Critical – thermal fluids are often critical to production – how long can you wait for your thermal fluid to ship?
  5. Reliable Service & Support – thermal fluids are maintenance-intensive, but can your vendor help you if there are problem

Duratherm G

Duratherm G is a glycol based thermal fluid rated to 260°C (500°F), a proprietary additive system that not only helps the fluid last longer and run cleaner, it makes it the ideal choice for extreme oxidation environments including demanding, open bath applications.

  • 260°C (500°F) maximum operating temperature
  • High flash point of 249°C (480°F)
  • Ideal for use in extreme oxidation environments like open baths
  • Polyalkylene glycol based thermal fluid with enhanced performance
