About Ethylene Glycol
NuGenTec inhibited Ethylene Glycol is a high-performance glycol-based heat-transfer fluid designed for closed-loop heating, cooling, refrigeration, HVAC, and industrial process applications. When blended with deionized water at the appropriate concentration, ethylene glycol provides reliable freeze and burst protection while maintaining excellent heat-transfer performance and lower viscosity than comparable propylene glycol solutions.
The fluid is formulated with corrosion inhibitors to help protect common system metals and maintain stable performance throughout extended service. Ethylene glycol/water concentration can be selected based on the required freeze protection, operating temperature, and thermal-performance requirements, allowing the fluid to be optimized for applications ranging from HVAC and process cooling to industrial refrigeration, ice rinks, snow-melt systems, and other closed-loop thermal-management systems.
Contact NuGenTec technical experts for assistance selecting the appropriate ethylene glycol concentration and evaluating compatibility, freeze protection, and thermal performance for your heat-transfer system.
