Therminol® 68 Heat Transfer Fluid
Description
Therminol 68 is a high temperature liquid phase heat transfer fluid with great thermal stability. Therminol 68 was developed for use at temperatures up to 360° C (680°F) in liquid phase heat transfer fluid systems. Therminol 68 has a boiling point of 308°C (586°F), but static pressure of about 2 bar should maintain the liquid phase at high temperatures.
- Noncorrosive—This product is noncorrosive to typical heat transfer system materials of construction and has low odor and good handling characteristics.
- Low Odor—Easy to use.
