An antifreeze is a chemical product used to prevent water from freezing in cooling and heating systems. A good antifreeze must withstand high temperatures and have a low freezing point. Its main function is to prevent water from freezing even in extreme cold conditions. In addition, it must be compatible with the materials used in cooling systems and must not cause corrosion in them.
There are different types of antifreeze, each with its own characteristics and applications. Ethylene glycol antifreezes are common in vehicles and machinery, as they are resistant to high temperatures. Propylene glycol antifreezes are used in cooling systems for food and medicines, as they are non-toxic and do not cause corrosion in metals.
TRACAL AC: antifreeze for industry and the automotive sector
In the automotive sector and in industry, a good antifreeze is essential to avoid problems in components or pipes. It also helps maintain the right temperature and, in the case of a vehicle, improves fuel efficiency and reduces exhaust emissions.
That is why at CH Química, among our whole broad range of products, we have the concentrated antifreezes of our Glycol Line, which protect any type of closed cooling circuit against low temperatures, with versions that go down to -60 ºC.
PROPYLENE GLYCOL: antifreeze for the food and pharmaceutical industries
In the food and pharmaceutical sector, antifreezes must meet strict food safety requirements. In addition, they must not be toxic, to guarantee the safety of the products. One of the commonly used antifreezes is propylene glycol, as it is non-toxic and does not cause corrosion in metals. It is used in refrigeration and cooling systems for food and medicines, as it helps to maintain the proper temperature and to prevent products from freezing.
That is why at CH Química we have PROPYLENE GLYCOL, a dilutable, high-purity product that helps ensure the desired quality and performance in food, beverages and pharmaceutical products. In addition, its low toxicity is unique among glycols and allows it to be used as a direct additive in food and pharmaceuticals. PROPYLENE GLYCOL is available on the market in different formats: 32 kg containers (pallets of 24 units), 64 kg (pallets of 12 units) and 210 kg (full pallet with 4 drums).
At CH Química we are specialists in chemical products for industrial, institutional and service maintenance. If you have any questions or would like more information about our antifreezes, do not hesitate to contact us.
