Solutia features new Therminol products at ACHEMA 2003

20-May-2003

Therminol VLT is a the first synthetic fluid to allow liquid-phase cooling at -115 C, as well as the flexibility of single- fluid cooling and heating in systems up to 175 C. This proprietary fluid also offers a viscosity of 45 cP at -115 C, which allows for efficient heat transfer and pumpability at extremely low temperatures. The product is designed for producers of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), because it is able to perform consistently at the low temperatures required for many modern organic chemistry processes.

Therminol VP-3, introduced in December 2001, was the first new high- temperature vapor phase heat transfer fluid to hit the market in over 50 years. Therminol VP-3 is a proprietary fluid that offers a boiling point of 243 C, which is lower than conventional biphenyl/diphenyl oxide eutectic fluids, giving users more flexibility in operating in the vapor phase region. The lower boiling point enables manufacturers to easily process or spin nylon 6 or specialty polyester-based polymers at a lower temperature, which they could previously achieve only by operating a conventional biphenyl/diphenyl oxide heat transfer system under vacuum.

The Therminol family of heat transfer fluids features products that can meet the operating needs of virtually any single or multiple heat-using system. In properly designed systems, these heat transfer fluids will perform within their respective temperature ranges for extended periods without breakdown or corrosion.
