Long Life - Therminol 55 is a true 550° F (290° C) fluid. You will get years of reliable, cost effective performance, even when operating your system continuously at 550° F (290° C). This means you do not have to over specify your fluid. Non Fouling - Because Therminol 55 is a synthetic fluid, it resists the effects of oxidation 10 times better than mineral oils. Less oxidation means less solids formation and much less fouling. For systems without nitrogen inerting, the performance advantages are significant. Superb Low Temperature Pumpability - Therminol 55 is still pumpable at 15° F (-25° C), long after mineral oils have become jelly-like. In fact, some mineral oils will not pump at temperatures below 20° F (-7° C). With Therminol 55, your heat transfer fluid system can start-up quickly and easily. Low Cost - This list of performance features does not cost a fortune. Call to see how affordable Therminol 55 can be.
