Chemtex’s Propylene Glycol Corrosion Inhibitor is a specially formulated chemical additive designed to prevent corrosion in multi-ways.
Metal surfaces are prone to corrosion very easily.But with
the help of propylene glycol corrosion inhibitor this corrosion can be
prevented. It buffers the organic acids formed as a result of glycol oxidation.
Inhibited glycol based heat transfer fluids provides corrosion protection
without reducing system’s heat transfer efficiency.
In Glycol system glycol is degraded from time-to-time,so it is very much important to stop this degradation.Glycol in presence of heat and air degrades into five organic acids namely: Glycolic Acid, Glyoxalic Acid, Formic Acid, Carbonic Acid & Oxalic Acid. Metal acts as catalyst in un-inhibited glycol solution for the formation of these acids, which then chemically attacks and corrodes system.
Propylene glycol corrosion inhibitor is also available in Pre Inhibited Propylene Glycol and normal Propylene Glycol
Glycol turning Red. What does it indicate?
Due to immense corrosion in system, the rust in the system metal makes the glycol turn red in colour. At this point the glycol is fouled with iron contaminants which increase the glycol degradation rate. It is important to add corrosion inhibitor to the glycol system to avoid such degradation of glycol.
Application:
Propylene Glycol System (PG)

Major Benefits:
- No loss to metal surface after treatment
- Excellent heat transferability and flow rate
- Long and extended life of glycol without fouling
- Avoids leaks in heat exchangers such as PHEs
- Maintains the anti-freezing properties of glycol
- Does not form sludge, as in case of other mere pH buffers used in glycol
