CS-400 ETHYLENE GLYCOL

Solutions of ethylene glycol-based fluids are widely used for secondary cooling and heating applications, for freeze and burst protection of pipes, and for various deicing, defrosting, and dehumidifying applications. They contain specially formulated packages of industrial inhibitors that help prevent corrosion. CS-100 is an industrially inhibited fluid with an operating range of -60ºF to 250ºF. CS-400 fluid is an industrially inhibited fluid with an operating range of -60ºF to 350ºF. Compared to CS-100 fluid, the CS-400 fluid has a higher maximum operating temperature, higher reserve alkalinity, and greater thermal stability. While CS-100 fluid is considered the standard ethylene glycol-based fluid for most applications, CS-400 fluid is specified to extend fluid life where service temperatures are higher and the likelihood of thermal degredation is greater. It is sometimes also used in less demanding applications because the heavy duty inhibitors last longer, and maintenance requirements can be reduced.
