Description:

Petro-Canada PURITY™ FG Heat Transfer Fluid is formulated to help lower operating costs by reducing the frequency of fluid change-outs in operations that require a food grade product. PURITY FG Heat Transfer Fluid’s unique chemistry starts with a blend of 99.9% crystal-clear base fluids, produced from a HT Purity Process. These crystal-clear fluids are free of impurities that can hinder performance. Utilizing more than 30 years of formulating experience, Petro-Canada fortifies these thermally stable fluids with specially selected additives to provide outstanding protection from oxidative breakdown.

The result is PURITY FG Heat Transfer Fluid, a food grade fluid that provides high thermal efficiency in systems operating up to 326°C (620°F). PURITY FG Heat Transfer Fluid's breakthrough chemistry can assist in extending fluid life longer than leading competitive fluids, and help lower operating costs by reducing the frequency of fluid change-outs.

Features & Benefits:

• Higher thermal and oxidative stability than leading competitors which can help extend fluid life and lower operating costs

• More thermally stable than leading competitive fluids, even full synthetics Thermal stressing of a heat transfer fluid can cause the formation of light molecular compounds. These compounds can:

– raise a fluid’s vapour pressure, which can cause fluid leakage from control valves and pipe flanges, circulating pump cavitation and vapour locking

– dramatically reduce a fluid’s autoignition temperature, the lowest temperature that a fluid will combust, without flame or spark, in the presence of oxygen

– lower the operating temperature at which the heat transfer system can safely operate – necessitate a costly, premature fluid change-out

A fluid’s resistance to oxidative breakdown is critical in heat transfer systems where exposure to air cannot be avoided. Strong oxidative resistance can significantly extend fluid life, providing operational savings by reducing fluid change-out frequency and down time.

• Higher resistance to oxidative thickening versus leading competitive fluids

As a fluid oxidizes, it becomes more viscous. This increase in viscosity can:

– significantly reduce a fluid’s thermal efficiency

– make the fluid more difficult to circulate through the heat transfer system

– result in overheating of the fluid – necessitate a costly, premature fluid change-out

• Less prone to solids and resins formation versus leading competitive fluids

• PURITY FG Heat Transfer Fluid’s resistance to oxidative fluid breakdown also minimizes the formation of deposits. These depostis can dramatically reduce a system’s heat transfer efficiency, resulting in increased operating costs.

• Low vapour pressure can help on top-up costs while improving workplace safety

• PURITY FG Heat Transfer Fluid's low vapour pressure can reduce or eliminate fluid leakage from control valves and pipe flanges

• Reduction or elimination of leaks provides a cleaner and safer operating environment, and results in operational savings by reducing the need for cleaning, maintenance and fluid top-up

• Natural lubricity extends operational savings

• PURITY FG Heat Transfer Fluid's natural lubricating properties can also help to reduce maintenance costs by extending the service life of circulating pumps and other rotating parts

• Fully approved for use in and around food processing areas

• PURITY FG Heat Transfer Fluid also meets the highest industry purity standards and fits perfectly in HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) plans:

– HT1 registered by NSF

– All fluid components comply with FDA 21 CFR 178.3570 “Lubricants with incidental food contact”

– Acceptable for use in food processing facilities.

– Certified Kosher and Pareve by Star K

– Certified Halal by IFANCA

Applications:

Petro-Canada PURITY FG Heat Transfer Fluid is recommended for use in non pressurized, liquid phase, closed heat transfer systems used in food processing or pharmaceutical operations with continuous bulk operating temperatures up to 326°C (620°F). Typical applications include central cooking facilities, drying, edible oil deodourizing and the heating of deep frying oils. PURITY FG Heat Transfer Fluid may also be used in heating baths where a virtually odourless, nontoxic* fluid is required for worker health and safety.

PURITY FG Heat Transfer Fluid’s outstanding resistance to oxidative breakdown is also beneficial in food related manufacturing operations where exposure to air can not be avoided, and oxidation is the most likely form of fluid degradation. Common applications include the manufacture of plastic bottles, films and containers for the packaging of food products.
