Inhibited glycol is another form of propylene glycol widely utilized for a variety of industrial applications like secondary cooling and heating functions, freezing and bursting protection of pipes during the cold season, and for other defrosting, de-icing, and dehumidifying purposes.
Propylene glycol is propane-1,2-diol in IUPAC nomenclature and is synthesized through propylene oxide hydration. Its single atom has three carbon atoms, eight hydrogen atoms, and two oxygen atoms forming a chain. Other than industrial usage, propylene glycol is usually added to foods, toiletries, and cosmetic products as a preservative and humectant.
Different glycol fluids are employed for the same functions because of their similarity in physical characteristics. Inhibited glycol is one of the safer alternatives. It has a slightly better freeze and burst protection with minimal environmental contamination or toxicity.
Common Applications:
- Boilers
- Chillers
- Cold room dehumidifiers
- Heat recovery
- Sidewalk snow-melt systems
- Refrigeration coil defrosting
- Refrigeration warehouse floor heating
- Liquid food chillers
- Outdoor wood boilers
- Thermal energy storage (TES) systems
- Freeze/burst/corrosion protection for HVAC system
- Air preheating
- Immersion freezing or chilling for solid, wrapped foods
- Ground source heat pumps
- Process heating and chilling
- Moderate temperature batch processing
- Conveyor roller defrosting
- Fermentation and indirect food cooling
- Solar heating
- Ice skating rinks
- Beverage processing for wines and beers
- Hydronic heating systems
- Radiant floor heating
Inhibited glycol by Chemicals Direct is commonly used by large industries for their systems that require freeze protection or heat transfer improvement. This alcoholic inhibitor is low in toxicity, making it very safe for closed water system use. Package provides an effective chemical combination to protect steel, cast iron, copper, cupric alloys, and aluminum as well. Dilute with water to meet required temperature. Inhibited glycol comes in pink fluorescent appearance for ease of detection. Product is in stock and ready to be shipped the same day!
