Description

DOWTHERM SR-1 inhibited ethylene glycol (EG) is comprised of about 95% EG and 5% corrosion inhibitors. DOWTHERM SR1 has a bright fluorescent pink color and is the most popular EG based product within the Dow portfolio. In fact DOWTHERM SR-1 is the most widely recognized brand name in the industry. It offers effective heat transfer over a wide temperature range: from -60 °F to 250 °F and provides freeze protection down to -60 °F.

Dowtherm Glycol thermal fluid products are used to transfer heat effectively and affordably. Dowtherm Glycol thermal fluids are a cheap, but toxic if orally consumed, means of providing freeze protection while still allowing for relatively high heat transfer efficiency.

Uses

The product line applications may include: Hot water heating (radiant floor heating), Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP), Snow melt systems, Chill water (HVAC), Boiler Jackets, Laser Coolants, Thermal Energy Storage (TES), Ice skating rinks

Features and Benefits

Feature: Odorless as well as moderate in acute oral toxicity
Benefit: Where there is no chance of being consumed, this grade is a workhorse

Feature: Excellent freeze and corrosion protection without significant reduction in heat transfer performance
Benefit: Single liquid phase solutions that save capital by reducing variations in pump size, heat exchanger design, and an overall lower total cost of ownership

Feature: Contains a specially formulated industrial inhibitor package that is effective in preventing the corrosion of metals that may commonly be used in HVAC and process heat transfer equipment
Benefit: This extends fluid life, system lifespan, and lower maintenance costs overall
