Please feel free to contact us if you identify an area where we can improve our operation or this website and subsequently provide you, the customer, with a better service.

Established in 1998 Hydratech is now the UK’s leading manufacturer of specialist heat transfer fluids for the RAC, Geothermal and Solar sectors. All products are manufactured in accordance with ISO9000.2008 accredited procedures in a purpose built 26,000sq.ft. facility, located on the Swansea West Business Park, just off Junction 47 of the M4.

Hydratech’s rapid growth can be attributed to several core factors;

Competitive Pricing achieved through controlled overheads and economy of scale.
Large Stocks of finished products facilitating same day despatch and next day delivery.
Instant Technical Backup from specialists with extensive engineering and chemical expertise.
Specialist Knowledge and data on heat transfer performance, toxicity, biodegradability, ice formation etc.
Fluid Maintenance Program FOC monitoring service of heat transfer fluid condition during its lifetime.
R & D Investment to constantly improve existing and develop new heat transfer fluids.

Hydratech is committed to the Reneweable Energy Sector and the environment in general. As members of the Ground Source Heat Pump and Solar Trade Associations we are actively involved in the development of both sectors and in regular communication with other members. In line with our R&D and Environmental Policies, we are constantly working to improve the operational efficiency and minimise the environmental impact of our heat transfer fluids. Hydratech are also members of the Institute of Refrigeration (IOR) and the International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR). The primary objective of which is; to keep up to date with the latest industry developments and network with other refrigeration specialists

Research & Development is an important part of Hydratech’s expansion plans. To facilitate the R&D of new heat transfer fluids we have a laboratory fully equipped with state-of-the-art testing apparatus. In 2007 Hydratech joined forces with Brewfitt Ltd. to develop a unique secondary refrigerant for use in beer and beverage coolers. 2Flow was patented in 2008 and is predicted to replace water and water-glycol mixes in coolers worldwide. We are happy to work with our customers to develop bespoke ‘solutions’ that might provide both parties with a commercial advantage.

In 2009, after several years informal co-operation, Hydratech and Evans Cooling Systems, Inc. (ECS) of Connecticut USA formalised a strategic alliance to manufacture and market a revolutionary heat transfer fluid. Specifically a range of Ethylene Glycol (EG) based products that are Non-Toxic…..yes, that’s right, Non-Toxic Ethylene Glycol! The DeToxTM range of EG based products can be recognised by the DTX suffix. E.g. Thermox DTX. For more information please refer to the individual product data sheets and/or the associated Press Release.

Staff development and satisfaction is a high priority at Hydratech. I believe that any company is only as efficient and effective as its workforce allows. All Hydratech employees are valued members of The Team and encouraged to attend professional and self development courses. Regular meetings are held to facilitate staff feedback and suggestions on how to improve operational efficiency. One positive outcome of this policy has been a low staff turnover and retention of experience gained. Meet The Team.

We hope that our Company culture, products and services prove of interest and that we can assist with any requirements you might have for specialist heat transfer fluids.
