Product Description
Therminol RD is a low viscosity heat transfer fluid particularly recommended for indirect heating at medium temperatures up to 270° C. Low temperature pumpability is excellent down to -20° C.

The chemical composition of Therminol RD has been carefully selected to minimize the formation of low boilers and eliminate the risk of insoluble high boiler formation and fouling, provided the system is designed and operated within specified guidelines.

Applications
Therminol RD is used in a wide variety of industries, such as:
  • Resin manufacturing
  • Fatty acid deodorizing/extruding
  • Waste heat recovery
