Use these fluids in heat exchangers and liquid chillers.

Ethylene glycol and propylene glycol fluids are for use in closed (nonvented) systems. Propylene glycol is safer to handle than ethylene glycol.

Chemicals

Also known as technical-grade chemicals, these industrial-grade chemicals are not suitable for food or medicinal use.

Chemicals that cannot be sold to the regions listed exceed local regulatory limits on VOCs (volatile organic compounds), greenhouse gas emissions, and/or fall under DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) or local import regulations.

Heavy Duty De-Icers

Often used to winterize cooling towers and other HVAC systems, these de-icers prevent water from freezing inside equipment and causing damage. They have corrosion inhibitors for long-lasting protection. After draining the system, pump in the de-icer to displace any residual water and prevent ice from forming. When you’re ready to use the system again, purge the de-icer to reclaim it for reuse the following winter.

Multipurpose Cleaners for Cold Environments

Often used in freezers and cold-storage environments where other water-based cleaners would freeze, these cleaners remove dirt and grime in temperatures as low as -40° F. They also melt frost and ice as they clean. Unlike other low-temperature cleaners, they are free of flammable solvents, such as methanol. Use them with spray bottles, mops, and powered floor cleaners. After allowing the cleaning solution to soak, remove it with a cloth, sponge, mop, or wet/dry vacuum.

Note: Not for use on vinyl or rubber mats because the surface can become slippery.
