Duratherm Lite thermal oil
Duratherm Lite thermal oil has same physical properties as Duratherm 600 but formulated with a lighter dose of additives.
It is engineered for precise and efficient temperature control up to 600° F (315°C). With a high flashpoint, low vapor pressure and an initial boiling point above the maximum operating temperature Duratherm Lite thermal oil offers safety and performance for many diverse applications.
Economically ideal for applications that are prone to fluid loss or attrition due to equipment changes such as thermoforming, die casting, press molding etc.
The Difference
Our exclusive additive package, including a proprietary dual stage anti-oxidant, ensures long trouble free operation. Duratherm also incorporates metal deactivators, a seal and gasket extender, defoaming and particle suspension agents.
Lasts Longer
In the thermal oil industry cost is always a concern, however fluid longevity and resistance to harmful fouling are of equal importance.
Air contact is normally detrimental to a fluid. Oxidation can cripple your system and if left unchecked will ultimately cause catastrophic failure. Unscheduled downtime due to oil failure has a high cost and negative effect on production.
The Duratherm product line was developed with this in mind. Most other fluids fall short in their protection from oxidation and can quickly foul a system. Duratherm is engineered to give unsurpassed levels of protection and service life. Environmental
Duratherm Lite thermal oil is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, non-hazardous and non-reportable. Worker health and safety is of great concern, Duratherm LITE poses no ill effect to worker safety. After its long service life it can easily be disposed of with other waste oils.
System Cleaning
In our effort to truly service the heat transfer industry, we have developed 4 unique and specific heat transfer system cleaners. Ranging from preventative maintenance system cleaners to emergency downtime system revivers, we have a cleaner that fits your needs and schedule.
