Radco Introduces New High Flash Point Heat Transfer Fluid

LaFox, Illinois, September 8, 2000 – Radco is pleased to introduce Xceltherm® 445FP high temperature heat transfer fluid. Xceltherm® 445FP is a new liquid phase low-cost, efficient heat transfer fluid engineered with a high flash point of 445ºF (230ºC) and a bulk fluid operating range from 5ºF (15ºC) to 550ºF (288ºC). Xceltherm® 445FP can expand the operating boundaries in systems where the bulk fluid temperature is limited by flash point, and can reduce flash point related insurance coasts in industrial applications. Xceltherm® 445FP can also be used in systems striving to meet U.S. Coast Guard marine flash point regulations.

“From a safety standpoint, in the past many companies have requested a low cost heat transfer fluid that has a flash point above their bulk fluid operating temperature. Now, Xceltherm® 445FP gives them that comfort level,” Says Michael Damiani, Radco’s CEO. In addition, the superior thermal stability and heat transfer efficiency of Xceltherm® 445FP versus other heat transfer oils in this operating range mans longer fluid life and additional fluid cost savings.

As with the other nine fluids in Radco’s Xceltherm® product line, Xceltherm® 445FP is fully reprocessable and is supported by Radco’s fluid analysis, troubleshooting, and trending services. All engineering data, physical properties, and current MSDS for Xceltherm® 445FP can be found on Radco’s website at Xceltherm.com.
