Product Description
Therminol ALD has been discontinued since early 2008. Current users of Therminol ALD should contact your local Therminol Sales Specialist for further information. Technical information will continue to be provided on this site in support of current customers.

Therminol ALD is a synthetic heat transfer medium intended for use in the liquid phase for indirect process heating between 7° C and 310° C. Therminol ALD exhibits thermal stability superior to that of mineral oils used in similar applications, which results in a favorable cost/ performance ratio. Its high purity and low water content result in a corrosion-free operations and smooth start ups.

Liquid phase systems using Therminol ALD are finding use in applications which traditionally use steam as the heating medium. Savings in capital, operation and maintenance costs are often achieved as a result.

Applications
Therminol ALD is used in a wide variety of industries, such as:
  • Extruding
  • Barge heating
  • Calendar roll heating
  • Waste heat recovery
  • Solar energy systems

For more information on Therminol ALD systems and applications e-mail us or contact your local sales representative.
