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 HF-FG

A food grade heat transfer oil rated to 277°C (530°F), Duratherm HF-FG is specifically engineered for process heating and cooling applications that need the added safety of a high flash point. Economical and thermally stable, it meets USDA requirements for incidental food contact, is NSF registered HT1, and meets the requirements of 21 CFR 178.3570.

  • Food grade – Kosher, NSF registered and meets FDA 21 CFR 178.3570
  • 277°C (530°F) flash point, the highest rating of any food grade heat transfer oil
  • 338°C (640°F) maximum operating temperature
  • Engineered for use in a wide variety of food and beverage applications
  • Runs cleaner with an extended service life
