Common name
Dynalene HC-50
Dynalene HC/Potassium Formate is a water-based, low-temperature heat transfer fluid engineered to deliver excellent heat transfer performance in applications down to -58°F (-50°C). With a temperature range from -50°C to +218°C, Dynalene HC easily exceeds the performance of other water-based chemistries such as glycol/water mixtures and calcium chloride solutions, as well as hydrocarbon- and silicone-based fluids. This fluid comes in five concentrations and is non-toxic, non-hazardous and non-flammable. Custom formulations are available upon request.
