- Geothermal and solar thermal systems
Why Choose It?
- Made from USP-grade propylene glycol
- Meets FDA CFR 21 and NSF guidelines
- Excellent freeze and corrosion protection
Choose DOWFROST™ HD When:
DOWFROST™ HD is designed for demanding industrial and commercial systems that require enhanced corrosion protection and long fluid life.
Common Applications:
- Industrial process cooling
- Manufacturing facilities
- Large commercial HVAC systems
- Central utility plants
- Facility cooling loops
- Data center infrastructure cooling
Why Choose It?
- Enhanced corrosion inhibitor package
- Designed for heavy-duty operating environments
- Long-term protection for large industrial systems
If your application involves food and beverage production, refrigeration, or systems where food-grade raw materials are preferred, DOWFROST™ is often the right choice. If you’re protecting a large industrial, commercial, or facility cooling system, DOWFROST™ HD is typically the better fit.
