Heat Transfer Fluid

Duratherm S

  • "We have increased the time between oil changes and nearly eliminated any issues." — J. Smith
  • "This stuff is pretty amazing." — Ryan Seward
  • "I commend you on the quality and longevity of your products." — H. Blair
  • "These products performed exceptionally well for us." — S. Poletto
  • "Duratherm does not sludge up at all." — Bill Corbett

Duratherm S heat transfer fluid is ideal for applications such as negative pressure mold heaters,  annealing tanks, open bath forming, or any processing equipment where oxidation is prevalent and problematic. Duratherm S heat transfer fluid resists the effects of oxidation seen with most other heat transfer fluids.

High temperature stability is maintained to 650°F.This combined with a low end working temperature of -40°F also makes Duratherm S heat transfer fluid ideally suited for low temperature applications, batch processing or any application requiring a single fluid for both heating and cooling.

Duratherm S is an extremely oxidative and thermally stable heat tranfer fluid offering precise temperature control in applications requiring the highest level of oxidative stability with high and low termperature workability.

The Difference

  • Superior oxidation resistance∗ (virtually unaffected)
  • Non-fouling - extremely long life
  • Low odor
  • Non corrosive
  • Non hazardous
  • Non Toxic
  • Extremely high working temperature (650°F)
  • Extremely low working temperature (-40°F)

Lasts Longer

Duratherm S heat transfer fluid is a high performance, extremely stable, long lasting silicone based heat transfer fluid.

Virtually unaffected by oxidation∗ Duratherm S heat transfer fluid is perfect for use in a variety of applications requiring a safe, non reportable, non-toxic and non corrosive heat transfer fluid.
