Heat Transfer Fluids

Features & Benefits

Ready-to-Use Product Features: Corrosion Resistant,
Cost Effective,
Freeze Resistant,
Improved Heat Transfer Efficiency,
Long Shelf Life
Products Highlights: The effectiveness of WINTREX® HD heat transfer fluid in preventing corrosion has been proven both in use and in laboratory testing. Using WINTREX® HD in place of brine solutions or uninhibited glycol/water solutions lowers maintenance costs and improves heat transfer efficiency.
WINTREX® HD includes a fluorescent yellow dye, for leak detection. WINTREX® HD is designed to protect components commonly found in residential and commercial systems. WINTREX® HD can also be used with aluminum at temperatures below 150°F (66°C). At temperatures above 150°F (66°C), use of WINTREX® HD is not recommended because the inhibitors will not fully protect aluminum components in the system. WINTREX® should not be used with galvanized steel.
