Chemical Profile

Product Overview

Propylene Glycol 60% Inhibited is a high-strength pre-mixed heat transfer fluid engineered for closed-loop systems that require stronger freeze protection and corrosion control than lighter glycol blends. This aqueous solution combines 60% propylene glycol with an inhibitor package that helps protect metal system components while delivering consistent thermal performance. This inhibited formulation includes corrosion inhibitors to protect metal piping and heat exchange equipment in closed-loop systems.

Because the solution is supplied ready to use, it eliminates on-site blending and helps maintain consistent concentration from batch to batch. It is well suited for industrial HVAC, process cooling, hydronic loops, and similar systems where colder operating conditions or lower ambient temperatures demand a more robust glycol concentration.
