Delivery Australia-wide: $26

Tracked shipping from Brisbane or Melbourne.

Food Grade Glycol 5L is USP-approved 99% food grade propylene glycol for mixing with water in heat transfer systems. The glycol and water mix lowers the freezing point and raises the boiling point, preventing freezing, bursting and boiling in secondary cooling and heating systems such as glycol chillers.

FAQ

Why use food grade glycol?

Food grade propylene glycol is the type used in beverage and food production, where coolant runs close to the product.

What mix should I use?

Follow your equipment's guide. As an example, a 30% mix freezes at -13.3°C and a 40% mix at -21.1°C.

Does it only stop freezing?

No. It also raises the boiling point, protecting heating systems too.
