HVAC Heat Transfer Fluid | Ethylene Glycol

EQUITHERM® Aluminum-Safe s a virgin grade ethylene glycol-based heat transfer fluid that utilizes the newest generation of industrial inhibitor technology to
guarantee maximum heat transfer efficiency and economy. EQUITHERM® is chemically engineered specifically for systems with aluminum heat exchangers and
formulated to protect all multi-metal systems against corrosion and to safe-guard plastic components. EQUITHERM® protects against freezing and bursting while
providing enhanced thermal stability, increased system performance and longevity and decreased long-term maintenance costs. Change intervals are extended
through the maintainable and replenishable inhibitors in EQUITHERM®. EQUITHERM® can be used with most heat transfer fluids on the market today.

Notes:
*Limits published in ASTM D3306 Standard Specification for Glycol Base Engine Coolant for Automobile and Light-Duty Service. These
performance limits are also required for heavy duty coolants and recycled coolants (ASTM D6471 or D6472). ASTM D1384 is only a test
method.
A negative number indicates a net weight gain after correcting for the cleaning bank. Refer to the published method for information
on the calculation.
