Properties
Propylene Glycol Coolant is a transparent orange liquid. It is safe to handle as it is
composed of propylene glycol.
It maintains thermal circuits in perfect condition for longer periods of time than
conventional products and much better than Propylene Glycol USP with water without
corrosion additives. This product optimises heat transference and so enhances the
performance of the installation.
Propylene Glycol Coolant is homologated by NSF as heat transfer fluid where

there is possibility of incidental contact with food contact (HT1) with Registration
Number 152118.
It does not contain Nitrite or Amine as these are products that may react to give
nitrosamines which are potential carcinogen agents. Free of silicates, borates and
nitrates, triazoles and heavy metals.
Propylene Glycol Coolant is miscible with water in all proportions.
Propylene Glycol Coolant and its dilutions with water have a shelf life of at least two
years in original airtight containers.
Its orange colour helps to detect leaks.

Applications
Propylene Glycol Coolant is a concentrated product which must be diluted before use.
The minimum concentration to ensure protection from corrosion is 25% (1:4). The
recommended maximum is 50% (5:10). This product performs best within the range of
30 and 50% (3:10 and 5:10).
Dilution with distilled or deionised water is recommended where mains water has high
hardness or where water is not potable quality or it has more than 100 ppm of chloride
content. We advise consideration of legal constraints concerning the water quality used
for dilution of antifreeze in whichever jurisdiction your business operates.
Corrosion Table:
Mixtures of propylene glycol and water are more corrosive than pure water so
additives should be used in order to ensure the integrity of the circuit.
The following table shows the effectiveness of mixtures Propylene Glycol Coolant –
Water in inhibiting corrosion according to ASTM D 1384. For a comparative porpoise
results for water and propylene glycol – water mixture without additives are presented.

The results above are an average change in weight of coupons in g/m2. A positive
number indicates an increase in weight due to the formation of a stable protective layer
on the metal’s surface.
Test description:
ASTM D 1384:
In this test method, specimens of metals typical of those present in engine cooling systems are totally
immersed in aerated engine coolant solutions with corrosive water for 336 h at 88°C (190°F). The
corrosion inhibitive properties of the test solution are evaluated on the basis of the weight changes
incurred by the specimens. Each test is run in triplicate, and the average weight change is determined for
each metal.

Zinc is not compatible with propylene glycol or their mixtures with water, avoid zinc
or galvanized reservoirs.
Filling the Installation:
After pressure testing, which also affords an opportunity to determine the volume of
the system from the amount of water used (water meter), the system should be drained
and then filled immediately with the antifreeze. Air pockets are to eliminate
immediately.

Before filling the systems should be flushed with water to remove traces of flux,
especially when chlorine containing flux has been used.
After draining the circuit of old antifreeze, it should be flushed with water in order to
clean possible deposits and particles before filling with Propylene Glycol Coolant. The
product’s useful life will be reduced if the system is already corroded. If corrosion is
detected, corrective action should be taken before filling up the circuit.
Propylene Glycol Coolant has to be diluted with at least 25% V/V to assure complete
metals system corrosion protection. Dilutions up to 60% can be achieved in special
applications.
Mixtures with other kind of antifreeze should be avoided for possible incompatibilities
which would reduce the useful life of the product. For specific compatibilities you can
contact our technical department: please email solar@carpemar.com.
Long-term no-load operation of the system should be avoided because this can
adversely affect the stability of the heat transfer medium and considerably reduce its
service life.
Both Propylene Glycol Coolant concentrate and its dilutions with water are stable for
at least two years in regular stocks conditions1 in airtight containers.
Equipment must not be fitted with galvanized heat exchangers, heat reservoirs, tanks
or pipes, because propylene glycol can corrode zinc.
To prepare the correct dilution, simply determine the desired freezing temperature to
establish the according proportions of antifreeze and water to mix. Choose a vessel of
sufficient capacity and stir until a homogenous has been achieved.
The minor surface tension of Propylene Glycol Coolant compared with water may
make minor damage due to corrosion more apparent.
Heat Resistance:
Sustained temperatures higher than 170ºC cause premature ageing of propylene glycol.
Temperatures above 200ºC lead to slow alteration of the chemical properties of

antifreeze fluid, with the result that the reliability of operation of the system may be
endangered.
In the case of not-closed systems or the insert of oxygen (e.g. via valves) the maximum
usage temperature is lower.

Precautions:
Propylene Glycol Coolant is a non flammable, non corrosive product, so no special
precautions are required. In any case good industrial practices are recommendable.
Avoid contact with eyes, in case of splashing flush with running water for at least 10
minutes. Do not eat or drink, keep away of children.
Store in a clean and well-ventilated place. Tightly sealed containers are recommended
because of the hygroscopic properties of the product.

Freezing point according to ASTM D 1177 is the temperature for the first ice crystal formation.
DIN 51583 normative establishes the temperature from the product does not flow and there is
danger for the circuit integrity.
Between both temperatures exists a mixture of ice crystals and not-frozen fluid that flows
without volume increase, thus, without bursting problems.
