DOWFROST
Pertanyaan yang Sering Diajukan
Pertanyaan umum tentang DOWFROST dari 3G Electric.
What is the difference between DOWFROST and DOWFROST HD?
DOWFROST HD is a higher-concentration variant of the standard DOWFROST propylene glycol fluid. While standard DOWFROST is typically supplied at concentrations up to 70%, DOWFROST HD is available at 94% concentration, allowing for custom dilution on-site or use in systems requiring extreme freeze protection. Both series use the same inhibited glycol base, but HD formulations are designed for lower burst temperatures (down to -100°F) and higher thermal stability. The HD series is also dyed yellow, whereas food-grade DOWFROST is blue or clear.
Is DOWFROST food-grade propylene glycol safe for potable water systems?
Select DOWFROST SKUs are labeled as food-safe and carry certifications such as NSF/ANSI 61 for use in potable water systems. These food-grade variants are formulated with propylene glycol that meets USP/NF specifications and are dyed blue or clear for identification. They are suitable for closed-loop systems where incidental contact with drinking water or food products may occur, such as in beverage processing or HVAC systems serving food facilities. Non-food-grade DOWFROST (yellow) should not be used in potable water applications.
What temperature range can DOWFROST heat transfer fluids handle?
DOWFROST fluids are rated for continuous operation from approximately -50.8°F (-46°C) to 325.4°F (163°C), depending on concentration and series. For example, a 30% concentration DOWFROST fluid provides burst protection down to -50.8°F, while higher concentrations extend the lower limit. The upper temperature limit is consistent across most formulations, but prolonged exposure above 325°F may degrade the inhibitor package. Always consult the specific product data sheet for exact temperature limits based on concentration.
Can DOWFROST be mixed with other glycol brands or uninhibited glycol?
Mixing DOWFROST with other glycol brands or uninhibited glycol is not recommended. The inhibitor package in DOWFROST is specifically formulated to protect system metals; mixing can alter the inhibitor balance, reduce corrosion protection, and void the manufacturer's warranty. If system fluid must be topped off, use the same DOWFROST series and concentration. For complete fluid replacement, flush the system thoroughly before introducing new DOWFROST.
What packaging sizes are available for DOWFROST through 3G Electric?
3G Electric stocks DOWFROST fluids in 1-gallon containers, 5-gallon pails, 55-gallon drums, and 265-gallon totes. The 1-gallon size is typically for DOWCAL 200 freeze protectant concentrate. Larger drums and totes are available for both standard DOWFROST and DOWFROST HD, including food-grade variants. Bulk orders can be arranged with logistics support for delivery to industrial sites globally.
