Why Hydratech recommend inhibited Propylene Glycol over plain Propylene Glycol for closed-loop cooling and heating systems.

Plain or uninhibited Propylene Glycol provides antifreeze protection only – the lack of inhibitors and additives leaves systems open to corrosion and other issues. The lower initial price for uninhibited Propylene Glycol can be attributed mostly to the fact that the fluid does not contain an inhibitor package, buffers or additives required for a mixed metal system.

Uninhibited Propylene Glycol solutions can be particularly corrosive over time, potentially over 4 times more harmful to a closed-loop system than standard mains water. Inhibitors, buffers and additives neutralise the natural tendency of Propylene Glycol to become acidic and should be used to prevent corrosion, scale and fouling of pipe-work systems and associated components.

To help prevent, unplanned maintenance, high remediation fees and reduced system life, Hydratech’s range of inhibited antifreezes are formulated with high-performance corrosion, scale and biological inhibitors, which exceed ASTM & BS standards.
