UCARTHERM Heat Transfer Fluid is a biodegradable ethylene glycol based fluid that provide outstanding freeze and burst protection from -60 °F to 275 °F.
UCARTHERM Heat Transfer Fluids are biodegradable ethylene glycol based fluids that provide outstanding freeze and burst protection. Formulated with an extensive and synergistic inhibitor package, they also provide corrosion protection – meeting or surpassing all ASTM requirements for glycol-based engine coolants. UCARTHERM HTFs are shipped in concentrated form.
Ucartherm HTFs include Dow iron inhibitor – Used to boost phosphate inhibitor levels for the protection of ferrous metals.
Ucartherm HTFs include Dow copper inhibitor – Boost tolyltriazole levels for the protection of soft metals including copper and brass.
Ucartherm HTFs include Dow pH booster – Used to increase the pH of acidic fluids that may result in corrosion and metal loss.
Applications for Ucartherm may include: Oil and gas industries, Natural gas compressor station coolants, Natural gas well-head and pipeline heaters, Liquid-cooled cogeneration and industrial engines, Drilling equipment, Heat tracing systems, Crude oil/battery heaters, LNG vaporizers, Generators and engines, Standby generators and engines, Marine engines, High-speed stationary engines, Air compressor engines
Feature: Optimum Corrosion Protection
Benefit: UCARTHERM products have been specially formulated with corrosion inhibitors to provide corrosion protection and to buffer the fluid, which helps to prevent glycol degradation and promote long-lasting fluids
Feature: Ucartherm is biodegradable
Benefit: UCARTHERM HTFs are biodegradable in tests simulating river conditions. And in wastewater treatment plants, where concentrations of microorganisms are far higher, biodegradation can take place in a matter of hours. This results in lower environmental impact.
Feature: Meets legacy equipment heating and cooling specs
Benefit: Whether a TV transmission tower or a stationary engine, Ucartherm is one of the few remaining products that meets spec and is mentioned by name for legacy process heating and cooling applications
