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

ABOUT THE TEST

We chose 6 competing products, ranging from low-budget hot oils to some of the more expensive premium fluids from Exxon Mobil Corporation®, Dow Chemical Company®, Paratherm Corporation®, Petro-Canada Inc®, Momar® and Multitherm LLC®.

 

ABOUT THE METHOD

IP48 is an International Petroleum test standard in which 40ml of fluid is exposed to 204°C (400°F) with 15L/h of air blownthrough the samples for 24 hours. This accelerates a fluid's aging process and shows a fluid's resistance to oxidation.
