Product Overview
Arctic Assist 50/50 is a specialized heat transfer fluid and antifreeze engineered for thermal stability in industrial and commercial environments. Formulated for cold-weather operation, it maintains flow characteristics at low temperatures while protecting systems from freezing. This solution is essential for chillers, process cooling loops, and closed-system HVAC applications requiring consistent thermal conductivity.
The fluid appears as a clear, colorless liquid with a density of 1.025 g/mL at 25°C. With a freezing point of -10°C and a boiling range of 100-110°C, Arctic Assist 50/50 ensures operational integrity in climate-controlled or exposed systems. Its moderate vapor pressure supports stable performance in semi-closed setups where evaporation control is critical. Compatible with HDPE storage and standard piping materials, it offers a reliable solution for facility managers and plant engineers.
