Characteristics
An physiologically inoffensive fluid, green tint, clear liquid based on an aqueous solution of 1.2 Propylene glycol and other
glycols with a high boiling point, that is used as a heat transfer fluid in thermal solar systems, particularly those subjected
to high heat loads. The product is mixed with deionised water to guarantee protection against freezing to about -35ºC.
Contains non-toxic corrosion inhibitors, free of nitrates, amines and phosphates. Complies with requirements contained in
Standard DIN 4757.
