Therminol XP heat transfer
fluid is an extremely pure white mineral oil which provides reliable heat transfer at
temperatures from -20° C to 315° C.
Performance features of Therminol XP include:
|
- Low Fouling - The chemical composition of
Therminol XP has been carefully selected to minimize system fouling resulting from
oxidation and degradation of the fluid.
- Practically Non-Toxic - As an indicator of purity, Therminol XP meets
FDA specifications defined in 21 CFR 172.878 and requirements of United States
Pharmacopeia (USP) and National Formulary (NF).
- Thermal Stability - Therminol XP is stable to 315°C.
Users can expect many years of reliable, trouble-free operation, even when operating
continuously at the recommended maximum temperature of 315° C.
- Environmentally Friendly - Therminol XP has outstanding regulatory
status for those seeking heat transfer fluids which have minimum environmental reporting
requirements.
Therminol XP is used in a wide variety of industries, such as:
- Specialty Chemicals
- Laundries
- Food and beverage
- Biodiesel
