Applications

Heat transfer fluids provide a cost-efficient process for many manufacturing operations in the plastic industries. Often used within specialised forming equipment or as part of modular heating units, heat transfer fluids allow for continuous temperature control.

The food and beverage industry uses a broad range of heating operations from medium to high temperatures, whilst complying with strict regulations from the FDA and other national bodies to ensure consumer safety. Reliable, low maintenance, ease of use products are important criteria for an industry where unexpected down-time can lead to costly solutions. Therminol XP is a high purity heat transfer fluid, listed as category HT-1 for incidental food contact by NSF International.

Often referred to as “the life blood of production facilities', Heat Transfer Fluids are crucial for many applications used within the Oil & Gas Industry. MacDermid's experience shows that correct product selection is key to success. Fluid replacement is not only expensive but the corresponding operational down-time can be significant, especially for remote locations. Our Therminol customers include demanding applicators in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and the UK.

The industry is increasing in scope due to the wide range of innovative solutions being used to reduce the reliance on fossil fuels for electricity, heat and petrochemical based fuels. Renewable technologies are typically associated with natural energy to generate electricity with fuel sources including wind, solar, marine, hydro and solar.

The industry requires precise temperature control from small scale batch reactors up to continuous production plant processes. Therminol® heat transfer fluids are widely used within this industry, where high performance products providing reliable, uniform process heating and cooling are required.
