Vapco’s Ethylene & Propylene Glycol Offers the Best Freeze Protection
Ethylene Glycol
Tired of the freezing cold? So is your car! Ethylene Glycol is popularly used to prevent car engines from freezing during the cold, winter months. This heat transfer fluid provides freeze protection as low as -100º F. It contains inhibitors that prevent corrosion of brass, copper, and other natural metals commonly found in vehicles. Ethylene Glycol is the ideal antifreeze and coolant solution for automotive radiators. Use it in industrial heating and cooling systems.
Propylene Glycol
Vapco’s Arctic Protection is a Propylene Glycol based antifreeze that offers excellent burst and freeze protection against temperatures as low as -100º F. Arctic Protection is a safe choice as an antifreeze or heat transfer solution. It is non-toxic, noncorrosive, and generally recognized as food safe (GRAFS) by The FDA. It also contains lubricating properties that won’t leave deposits or residue on heat transfer surfaces. Common uses include closed systems where potable water exists, heat pumps, and solar heating systems.
Ethylene Glycol vs Propylene Glycol
Do you know the difference between Ethylene Glycol and Propylene Glycol? We’ve broken down the two to help you make the best choice for placing your glycol order.
Ethylene Glycol is most commonly used as an antifreeze in commercial and industrial applications. It transfers heat better than propylene glycol, and can function at temperatures as low as -100º F. Ethylene Glycol is an excellent choice for protecting natural metals.
Propylene Glycol’s primary function is to absorb water. Its common use is for heat transfer for things such as hydronic, heat pump, and solar heating systems. It has a higher viscosity, with lubricating qualities that extend the component file. Above all, it has a lower toxicity than ethylene glycol. Apply it as an additive in cosmetics and pharmaceutical products.
