Our fluids outlast all others… even ones costing many times more!

Our exclusive additive system delivers unparalleled protection and service life. This report shows Duratherm’s superior resistance to oxidation, the main cause of sludge buildup and fluid degradation.

Sometimes Less is More!

Lower TAN and less viscosity change mean longer service, higher performance and not sludge!

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.
