Achema 2006: Arkema offers Jarytherm® high performance thermal fluids

05/15/2006    Press Release

Arkema markets under the name Jarytherm® four grades of high performance synthesis thermal fluids which fulfill all application requirements for the -70°C to 350°C temperature band.

 

These four fluids all feature very high purity - in excess of 98% - as well as outstanding thermal stability, in addition to the following characteristics:

  • Jarytherm® CF, for use within the -70°C to 315°C temperature range, offers optimum performance in operating temperatures of below -30°C. Above -30°C, it also represents a safe alternative to water (hydrophobic nature of some products) while being equally effective.
  • Jarytherm® BT06, for use within the -40°C to 350°C temperature range, is particularly suitable for phthalic anhydride and fine chemical manufacture requiring single fluid installations which combine heating and cooling cycles.
  • Jarytherm® AX320, for use within the -10°C to 310°C temperature range, has been developed for the chemical industry as well as plastic processing, among other applications. Its excellent thermal stability increases its life considerably, whilst its low viscosity offers significant energy savings, increasing its competitiveness against mineral oils and alkylbenzenes.
  • Jarytherm® DBT, for use within the 0°C to 350°C temperature range, features excellent thermal stability and low viscosity. In addition, Jarytherm®DBT has a high flash point, and its thermal exchange coefficient is higher than in competitive products.

 

The Jarytherm® package consists of a comprehensive range of services, from designing to operating installations: surveys, consultancy, etc.


The Jarytherm® trademark belongs to Arkema Group companies.
