#281S PURE SYNTHETIC HEAT TRANSFER FLUID

Pure Synthetic Heat Transfer Fluid is a non-toxic, non-corrosive, non-fouling

synthetic heat transfer fluid that is recommended for use in closed system or
open system heat transfer applications, where a wide temperature range and
environmentally safe fluid is required. Pure Synthetic Heat Transfer Fluid’s fluidity
at temperatures below -50F (-46°C) and thermal stability up to 575F (302°C)
permits its use over a wide range of conditions. Pure Synthetic Heat Transfer
Fluid is not significantly affected by long exposure to elevated temperatures,
including transients to 870F (466°C).

Pure Synthetic Heat Transfer Fluid is blended from the finest high quality
severely hydro-finished Polyalphaolefin (PAO) synthetic base fluids available.
These PAO synthetic base fluids allow the Pure Synthetic Heat Transfer Fluid to
exhibit the following benefits:

1. High thermal and oxidative stability.

2. Very low volatility and evaporation characteristics.
3. High thermal efficiency for rapid and efficient transfer of heat.
4. Low vapor pressure at elevated temperatures.
5. High boiling points to prevent pressure buildup.
6. Non-fouling on degradation.
7. Flash and fire points significantly above 400F.
8. Auto-ignition points above 608F.
9. High viscosity index, meaning less change in viscosity with temperature.
10. Excellent hydrolytic stability and resistance to emulsification with water.
11. Non-corrosiveness.
12. Excellent compatibility with all types of seals, materials of construction and
finishes commonly used in heat transfer systems.
13. Compatible with petroleum oil, ester based, synthetic hydrocarbon and DI,
Tri and tertiary phenyl ether base fluids.
14. Virtually odorless and essentially non-toxic.
15. Long service life for trouble free operation.

Pure Synthetic Heat Transfer Fluids also meets the requirements for a USDA H-1
quality lubricant and the requirements of the United States Code of Federal
Regulations 21CFR 178.3570, 178.3620(b), and 573.680 of the United States
Food and Drug Administration’s Regulations and can be used as a heat transfer
fluid in food, feed, pharmaceutical processing and packaging plants where
incidental food contact may occur.
