Product Description
Therminol 72 is a high temperature liquid phase heat transfer fluid having excellent thermal stability. Therminol 72 was developed for use at temperatures up to 380° C in liquid phase heat transfer systems. Performance features of Therminol 72 include:

  • High Temperature Stability - Therminol 72 is ideally suited for high temperature heat recovery applications that require a lower pressure fluid.
  • Reduced Operating and Capital Costs - The use of Therminol 72 in high temperature heat transfer systems can result in a significant reduction in capital investment, and reduced utility and maintenance costs as compared with other pressurized systems using more volatile high temperature heat transfer fluids.
  • Non Fouling - Therminol 72 has been carefully selected to minimize the formation of low boilers and eliminate the risk of insoluble high boilers formation and fouling, provided proper attention is given to system design and operation within the maximum bulk and film temperatures specified.

Applications
Therminol 72 is used in a wide variety of industries, such as:
  • Chemicals
  • Refining
