Heat Transfer Fluids

Duratherm 600

Thermal fluid rated to 600°F it contains the industries most aggressive blend of additives for long, trouble free operation in a variety of applications.

Specifically engineered to withstand the extreme oxidation environment in open systems such as extrusion, blow molding and electrically heated portable systems as well as many others. A proprietary dual stage anti-oxidant system, seal and gasket extender as well as numerous other additives ensures a cleaner, longer running fluid.

Duratherm G

Are you currently using Ucon 500?

We developed our Duratherm G to be fully compatible with Ucon 500 but didn't stop there. Our exclusive additive system ensures any of the problems typically associated with polyalkylene glycols such as Ucon 500 have been eliminated.

Enjoy longer service life, lower odors and an overall more pleasant experience with Duratherm G (and save a few dollars too).
