HEAT TRANSFER FLUIDS

HPCL markets thermic fluids under the brand names of HYTHERM. These grades are developed to
provide performance in broad range of application in Textile, chemical, Paint & Varnish and Petrochemical
Industries. These grades are formulated from specially derived petroleum base stocks having exceptional
resistance to degradation during high temperature use.” With thousands of satisfied customers over the
years and millions of liters of Thermic fluid sold and repeat orders being executed.

Hytherm is undoubtedly the first choice for all buyers /customers. We have our own lube base oils which
ensures consistency in quality of Lube base oils leading to uniformity of the finished oil parameters.

HYTHERM 500
The product is manufactured from petroleum stocks produced by special refining process in which
the thermally unstable components are removed. Hytherm 500 is recommended in service involving a
maximum bulk oil temperature of 290°C. In addition, it has the following benefits.

Excellent oxidation & chemical stability

HYTHERM 600
This grade is derived from the finest quality petroleum base stocks and is fortified with high performance
additives to enhance performance at higher temperatures. It has the following outstanding features.

Ability to provide superior performance in indirect closed fluid heat transfer system up to bulk
operating temperature up to 320°C.
Increased life, reduced oxidation and thermal degradation
Minimal fouling and deposit formation on heat transfer surface. Hence sustained heat transfer
characteristics.

Application areas: All types of heat transfer applications. The product finds extensive application in textile,
pharmaceuticals, chemical and processing industries.

HYTHERM S
SPECIAL FEATURES: Hytherm S is a premium quality Heat Transfer Oil specifically developed for heat
transfer system where skin temperature goes up to 345°C and bulk temperatures up to 325°C. This product
is derived from synthetic base stocks and is fortified with high performance additives to enhance the
performance at higher temperature.

The salient features are given below:

APPLICATION AREAS: Hytherm S gives excellent performance in high temperature Heat Transfer. When
provided with proper nitrogen blanketing this fluid can perform well and resist thermal cracking over a period
of time leading to lower drop in flash point as compared to mineral oils. This is an excellent heat transfer fluid
and finds a wide range of applications in Textile, Pharmaceutical, Chemical and Processing units.
