Advanced Inhibitor Package

ESSELTHERM EGL is fortified with industrial-grade corrosion control inhibitors specially formulated to extend the fluid's service life and reduce maintenance requirements through re-inhibition. The inhibitor package includes:

  • Phosphate
  • Boron
  • Nitrite
  • Tolyltriazole (TTZ)

These inhibitors provide robust protection for your system and its components, safeguarding both ferrous and non-ferrous metals such as brass, copper, copper alloys, steel, cast iron, and aluminum from corrosion, scaling, and other detrimental effects.

Key Benefits

  • Reduced Maintenance

    Advanced inhibitors offer higher reserve alkalinity, resulting in fewer maintenance needs through re-inhibition.

  • Versatile Applications

    Ideal for demanding applications including HVAC systems, cold storage equipment, vapor recovery systems, and more.

  • High Thermal Efficiency

    As an effectiveethylene glycol coolant, ESSELTHERM EGL delivers excellent heat transfer and thermal conductivity.

What Is Ethylene Glycol?

Ethylene glycol is a colorless, odorless, and sweet-tasting organic compound with the chemical formula C₂H₆O₂. It is a type of glycol widely used as a heat transfer fluid and antifreeze agent due to its excellent thermal properties. Ethylene glycol has a high boiling point of approximately197.3°C (387.1°F), which contributes to its effectiveness in high-temperature applications.

Safety Considerations

While ethylene glycol is highly effective, it is toxic if ingested or inhaled. Proper handling and safety measures are essential when working with ethylene glycol-based products. Personal protective equipment (PPE) should be used to prevent skin contact and inhalation of vapors.

Environmental Responsibility

Ethylene glycol is biodegradable and does not tend to accumulate in the environment. However, spills or large-scale contamination can lead to rapid oxygen depletion in water bodies, adversely affecting aquatic life. It is crucial to follow proper disposal guidelines and avoid releasing significant amounts into the environment.

Ethylene Glycol Uses

  • Heat Transfer Fluid: Ethylene glycol is commonly used in industrial processes as an efficient ethylene glycol coolant. Its ability to lower the freezing point of water makes it ideal for preventing systems from freezing in cold environments.
  • Antifreeze Agent: In automotive and machinery applications, ethylene glycol acts as a key component in antifreeze formulations, protecting engines and equipment from extreme temperatures.
  • Hydraulic Fluid: Its stable viscosity and lubricating properties make ethylene glycol suitable as a base for ethylene glycol hydraulic fluid in specialized systems.
  • Industrial Use: Employed in the production of plastics, resins, and as a dehydrating agent in natural gas processing.

Antifreeze Propylene Glycol vs. Ethylene Glycol

While both propylene glycol and ethylene glycol are used in antifreeze and coolant applications, there are important distinctions:

  • Toxicity: Propylene glycol is considerably less toxic than ethylene glycol, reducing health risks in case of accidental ingestion or exposure.
  • Environmental Impact: Propylene glycol is more environmentally friendly due to its biodegradability.
  • Performance: Ethylene glycol offers slightly better heat transfer efficiency, but propylene glycol's safety advantages often make it the preferred choice.

Understanding these differences is crucial for selecting the appropriate coolant for your system. ESSELTHERM PGL provides a balanced solution with excellent performance and enhanced safety.
