Not for: direct or incidental food contact, potable water, open recirculation, automotive crankcase, or single-pass cooling.

Frequently Asked Questions About Inhibited Propylene Glycol 40/60 with OAT Inhibitor — Data Center Coolant

What is special about Alliance Chemical's Inhibited Propylene Glycol 40/60?

It is a pre-blended 40% by weight (w/w) propylene glycol in deionized water, charged with a nitrite-containing hybrid organic-acid (OAT) corrosion inhibitor package, 2.0 wt% of the blend (1.8–2.2%): sodium nitrite, triethanolamine, sodium benzoate and sodium molybdate plus organic-acid inhibitors. It is blended in Taylor, Texas, and is not dyed. Contains sodium nitrite: install as a fresh fill after draining and flushing, do not mix with phosphate-, silicate- or nitrite-free coolants, keep away from strong acids, and avoid galvanized (zinc) surfaces.

Can it be used for food contact or potable water?

No. This blend contains sodium nitrite and is not a food-contact product: it is not for direct or incidental food contact or potable-water service (see Section 1 of the SDS for restrictions on use). For food or potable-water service, specify a USP-grade propylene glycol fluid.

What metals and elastomers is it compatible with?

The inhibitor package is formulated for steel, cast iron, copper, brass and solder. Compatible plastics and elastomers include polypropylene, HDPE, PVC, CPVC, PVDF, PTFE, PES, NBR (Buna-N), EPDM, FKM, HNBR, VMQ silicone, neoprene, and CSM. Not recommended for prolonged contact with natural rubber or magnesium alloys. Contains sodium nitrite: install as a fresh fill after draining and flushing, do not mix with phosphate-, silicate- or nitrite-free coolants, keep away from strong acids, and avoid galvanized (zinc) surfaces.

What is the freeze point of 40/60?

At 40% propylene glycol by weight, the typical freeze point is approx. -6 °F (-21 °C); the specification is -5 °F (-20.6 °C) max. For colder service, request a higher ratio.

What do I use for top-up and make-up?

Top up with the same fluid: this ready-to-use 40/60 premix. Adding water alone dilutes the blend and lowers both its freeze protection and its inhibitor concentration.
