Duratherm XLT-50 is engineered for long-term operation in heat transfer applications requiring precise temperature control ranging from -50°F up to 350°F (-45°C to 176°C).
Ideal for cryogenic applications Duratherm XLT-50’s ecomomical cost and wide operating temperature also makes it well suited for heating and cooling applications found in the food processing, pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
Trouble-Free Operation
Duratherm XLT-50 heat transfer oil does not require monitoring of concentration or additive levels.
Longevity
Duratherm XLT-50 heat transfer oil utilizes our exclusive additive system for long-term, trouble-free operation at any temperature, high or low.
Environmental
Duratherm XLT-50 heat transfer oil is plant and user friendly. Low odours, high flash point and no SARA reportable substances make XLT-50 the wise choice for worker health and safety.
Disposal
After its extensive service life, Duratherm XLT-50 heat transfer oil can be disposed of through local waste oil recycling programs. Check your local regulations.
