Duratherm HF heat transfer fluid satisfies the needs of industry and insurance officials who recommend operating systems at temperatures below the heat transfer fluid’s flash point. Engineered specifically for this purpose, its flash point is one of the industry’s highest at 530° F (276°C).

The Difference

Not only does Duratherm HF heat transfer oil have one of the highest flash points available, it also contains the industry’s most effective and resilient blend of additives to ensure long-lasting, trouble-free service.

Our exclusive system includes a proprietary, dual-stage antioxidant and a special blend of metal deactivators, extenders, and other agents that prolong fluid life and help keep systems clean. That also means longer life for parts such as pumps and rotary seals.

Lasts Longer

Oxidation can cripple your system. Left unchecked, it will ultimately cause catastrophic failure and costly downtime. That’s why Duratherm HF heat transfer oil offers unsurpassed levels of protection against oxidation, and a service life that other fluids simply can’t match.

Runs Cleaner

Duratherm HF heat transfer oil delivers superior resistance to sludging, a problem plaguing most other fluids. That makes it the best defense against extreme oxidation found in many of today’s demanding manufacturing environments, including plastics processing, molding, casting, asphalt, paint, chemical and a wide variety of other applications.

Environmental

Duratherm HF heat transfer oil is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, non-hazardous and non-reportable. It poses no ill effect to worker safety and does not require special handling. After its long service life, Duratherm HF heat transfer oil can easily be disposed of with other waste oils.

System Cleaning

If your existing fluid has let you down and left you with a system full of sludge or carbon, we’ve developed a full line of heat transfer system cleaners to get your system back to like-new condition. Contact us for complete details.
