Chemtex’s MEG Corrosion Inhibitor is a specially formulated chemical additive designed to prevent corrosion in multi-ways. It treats the surfaces of the metal making them less susceptible to corrosion. It buffers the organic acids formed as a result of glycol oxidation. Inhibited glycol based heat transfer fluids provides corrosion protection without reducing system’s heat transfer efficiency.

It is very important to use inhibitor in glycol system to prevent degradation of glycol. Glycol in presence to heat and air degrades into five organic acids namely: Glycolic Acid, Glyoxalic Acid, Formic Acid, Carbonic Acid & Oxalic Acid. Metal acts as catalyst in un-inhibited glycol solution for the formation of these acids, which then chemically attacks and corrodes system.

Also available Pre Inhibited Mono Ethylene Glycol and normal Mono Ethylene Glycol.

Chemtex’s MEG (Ethylene Glycol) Brine Corrosion Inhibitor is a specially formulated chemical compound designed to prevent corrosion in multi-ways. MEG (Ethylene Glycol) Brine Corrosion Inhibitor treats the surfaces of the metal making them less susceptible to corrosion. MEG (Ethylene Glycol) Brine Corrosion Inhibitor buffers the organic acids formed as a result of glycol oxidation.

Glycol turns Red. What does this indicate?

Due to the high corrosion in the HTF system, the rust in the system metal makes the glycol turn reddish in colour. At this point the glycol is fouled with iron contaminants which increase the glycol degradation rate. It is very important to add corrosion inhibitor to the glycol system to avoid such degradation of glycol.

General Name: Pre-Inhibited Propylene Glycol based Heat Transfer Fluid - Red Color

Product Description:

Red colored Inhibited Propylene Glycol is used as an industrial coolant, antifreeze heat transfer agent. The inhibitor package is designed to protect brass, copper, solder, steel, cast iron, aluminum and other metals commonly found in the industrial cooling and heating systems.

The effectiveness of Inhibited Propylene Glycol in preventing corrosion has been proven in extensive laboratory and in actual service tests. Using Inhibited Propylene Glycol for heat transfer applications instead of brine solutions or uninhibited propylene glycol reduces maintenance costs and improves heat transfer efficiency.

Handling Measures, Precaution & Storage:   

Red colored Inhibited Propylene Glycol is non-toxic and can be handled easily. However, proper human safety products such as Splash goggles, lab coat, vapor respirator, gloves and boots should be worn while handling and applying chemicals.

 Splashes on skin should be washed off with water immediately. In case of splashing into the eyes, flush it with fresh water and obtain medical attention. It should not be injected.

Red Colored Inhibited Propylene Glycol is used as heat transfer agent in food, beverage or brewery industries, there lays a possibility of contamination even though Propylene Glycol is harmless to our health up to a certain level. But to keep ourselves on the safer side of the problem, something has to be done to detect the leakage of Glycol from the system. But we are fortunate enough that it had already done. Chemtex’s offered a perfect blend of Inhibited Propylene Glycol and a colored leak detecting media. This media turns the Glycol solution to Red or orange or red colored solution. So, whenever there is any leakage from Glycol systems, it will be visible during the daylight and even in the night time due to its color.

The leak detection dye also has a very special feature that can make it very easy to detect small pinhole punctures or leakages at its very nascent stage before it takes a shape of a large puncture or burst and cause production and maintenance havoc. This special mechanism of the Brine leak detection dye is its ability to glow in the dark in presence of UV light. However, the Red color Glycol remains easily detectable whenever or wherever there is a leakage and thus helps us to avoid unwanted contamination of Propylene Glycol especially with food items and other chemicals used in the system.

Chemtex has the full range of Inhibited Glycol either it is Inhibited Ethylene Glycol or Inhibited Propylene Glycol. We are offering both types of Inhibited Glycol. Inhibited Ethylene Glycol is mainly for industrial use except any types of food or beverage or dairy etc. related industries where contaminations of Inhibited Glycol with food or drinks products are possible. In those special cases we have Inhibited Propylene Glycol which especially designed for food grade to use in food products related or manufacturing industries. .
