Dowtherm and Dowfrost antifreeze is specially designed for process chiller systems. All chilled water systems can benefit from any of Dow's specially inhibited ethylene glycol and propylene glycol based solutions. ... Dowtherm SR-1 inhibited ethylene glycol-based fluid. With an operating temperature range of -60°F to 250°F, this is the most widely used fluid for heating and HVAC applications. The specially formulated corrosion inhibitor package is easily maintained, long-lasting and replenishable.

CONT

coolant: Sometimes called anti-freeze, this is a solution of inhibited ethylene glycol or inhibited propylene glycol plus water that circulates through the system to keep the engine cool. It's also a rust and corrosion inhibitor. Ethylene glycol or propylene glycol is only the anti-freeze part. The corrosion inhibitor is a chemical additive typically TT (tolytriazole) or nitrites as sodium nitrite.

CONT

Antifreeze, Inhibited Ethylene Glycol. Ethylene glycol is used for freeze protection of the coolant. IEG, commonly referred to as "antifreeze," also contains chemicals that provide a limited pretection against corrosion. The use of an IEG product with a low silicate formulation that meets ASTM D 3306 or GM 6043M requirements is recommended.

OBS

inhibitor: Substance, naturally occurring or a synthetic additive, whose presence in small amounts in a petroleum product retards or prevents the occurrence of certain phenomena considered undesirable, e.g. gum formation in stored gasolines, corrosion in steam turbines. [Definition standardized by ISO.]

OBS

La galvanisation à chaud. [...] avant l'immersion dans le bain de zinc, les pièces à galvaniser passent [par le] décapage, [qui] se fait à l'aide d'acide chlorhydrique additionné d'un inhibiteur (3 à 6 mol/l) et permet d'éliminer la calamine et certains autres oxydes présents en surface.

OBS
