Heat Transfer Fluids
Bene ts and features
- Low viscosity
- Improves bath uniformity and stability
- Enhanced heat-up and cool down rates
- Lower cost than glycol and silicone oil type uids
- Safe and non-toxic
- Convenient 18 liter (5 US gallon) containers
High Temperature Heat Transfer Fluid
This high temperature uid o ers industry a practically non-toxic, versatile bath uid that has proven to be cost e ective and thermally stable at
temperatures up to +315ºC. This uid has demonstrated excellent performance over a wide range of temperature without compromising economics or
system integrity. Unlike the less stable mineral oil based uid, our high temperature uid provides the user with the con dence and reliability without
the premium price of other uids. Recommended temperature range +60 to +250°C.
This uid is not for long term (more than a few hours) continuous use above 100ºC as excessive
oxidation will occur. As with most high temperature uids, a fume hood is recommended for
operating temperatures above 150ºC.

Techne high temperature bath uid or its vapor, like many other heat transfer uids, may ignite if released into the environment and exposed to hot surfaces, sparks, open ames, or
other source of ignition.
Low Temperature Heat Transfer Fluid
The low temperature heat transfer uid is engineered to o er non-toxic and low odor qualities at an a ordable price. This uid will satisfy the expecta-
tions of the most demanding modern day customer by providing an environmentally sound and thermally e ective heat transfer uid with a ash point
of 61°C (141°F) or greater. The uid o ers a low viscosity rating and unequalled heat transfer characteristics through its entire operating temperature
range. Recommended temperature range: -40ºC to 125ºC. A fume hood is recommended for open baths being operated at temperatures above +50ºC.
