MultiTherm IG-1®
mineral oil for liquid phase
heating systems.
Purpose
MultiTherm IG-1® is a highly refined;
hydrotreated mineral oil designed primarily
for use in closed loop heat transfer
systems. MultiTherm IG-1® is designed for
use in systems that are equipped with
expansion tanks, and it is recommended to
have pressure relief valves and an inert gas
blanket on the system. In properly
designed systems it will provide troublefree,
long lasting service.
Applications
MultiTherm IG-1® is an excellent heat
transfer fluid used in numerous industries
that are looking for an economical heat
transfer fluid for various manufacturing
processes. Common applications for
MultiTherm IG-1® heat transfer equipment
used in manufacturing of asphalt shingles
and roofing compounds, road-paving
equipment, die-casting, paper and
particle board.
Closed Loop Systems
MultiTherm IG-1® is designed for use in
liquid-phase heat transfer systems, which
are “closed” to the atmosphere. Where
practical, it is recommended that there be
an inert gas blanketing the systems
expansion tank to guard against exposure
to air and water to reduce the need to
change-out the fluid prematurely.
MultiTherm IG-1® heat transfer fluid is
designed with a maximum film
temperature of 600°F / 316°C and a
maximum bulk temperature of 550°F /
288°C.
Low Vapor Pressure
MultiTherm IG-1® heat transfer fluid has a
low vapor pressure compared to other
economical heat transfer fluids. This is
important because fluid boil-off is an issue
in open systems. The rate of boil-off of a
heat transfer fluid is dependent on the fluid
vapor pressure. The higher the vapor
pressure, the greater the rate of fluid
boil-off.
High Flash Point
MultiTherm IG-1® also offers the benefit of
having a high flash point of 442°F / 228°C
compared to other economical heat
transfer fluids on the market.
Easy Disposal
MultiTherm IG-1® is generally simpler to
dispose of than many synthetic thermal
liquids. Used, uncontaminated fluid can be
treated as a used lubricating oil, and handled
through a local waste oil processor. Check
with all applicable regulations in advance.
Benefits of MultiTherm IG-1®
- Economical
- Excellent Thermal Conductivity at high temperatures
- Resists Thermal Breakdown in closed-loop systems
- Long Service Life and Excellent performance in closed-loop systems
- Non-Corrosive, Non-Toxic and Non-Hazardous material
