Description : sigma T H E R M® FF - 101 Additive exhibits exceptional solvency for the hydrocarbon structures found in most petroleum heat transfer oils and synthetic organic heat transfer fluids. Its very low viscosity and pour point, relatively high boiling point, and superior thermal stability make sigma T H E R M® FF - 101 Additive ideal for use with heat transfer oils and fluids, particularly when they are thermally or oxidatively degraded. Its amazing Powerful Action provides a dramatic reduction in the viscosity of fresh and used heat transfer media while solubilizing any hydrocarbon oligomeric sludges and deposits in heat transfer systems. Dosage : Use of sigma T H E R M® FF - 101 Additive at levels as low as 10-20% for 50 hours circulation can provide Powerful Action for problem solving: Application : System pre-cleaning while operating before change out - reduces downtime and post discharge cleaning Flushing fluids not needed and in most cases, mechanical cleaning - less downtime and disposal cost Reduces viscosity - improves heat transfer efficiency while operating and thoroughness of change out discharge sigma T H E R M® FF - 101 Additive can be used in many industrial indirect heating and cooling processes where low viscosity and high solvency are important for heat transfer system pre-cleaning before change out or extending the useful life of the charge. It is particularly beneficial as a solution additive to systems where thermally or oxidatively degraded hydrocarbon oligomeric sludges and deposits exist. All these applications for Powerful Action lead to lower cost in problem solving. Changing to the suitable sigma T H E R M® FF Heat Transfer Fluid for the application once the immediate Powerful Action task is completed can minimize future degradation problems. Operating Considerations At low addition levels to a problem change, sigma T H E R M® FF - 101 Additive has little effect on the heat transfer system’s vapor pressure Cleaning pump filter screens and by-pass filters is usually required to catch particles already in the heat transfer system as well as any new materials that are slow to solubilize during the initial period of Powerful Action. sigma T H E R M® FF - 101 Additive does not form any viscous or solid deposits that lead to fouling on heat exchanger surfaces or clogging of the heat transfer circuit. It is used to correct these types of problems.
