Overview
DOWFROST™ and DOWFROST™ HD are industry-trusted, propylene glycol-based heat transfer fluids manufactured by Dow and distributed nationally by ChemPoint in drums, totes, and bulk quantities. Engineered with food-grade propylene glycol and corrosion inhibitors, DOWFROST™ fluids provide effective freeze and burst protection in both closed-loop and secondary cooling systems. These fluids are ideal for applications where low acute oral toxicity is preferred, including food and beverage processing, HVAC, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and glycol-based thermal energy storage. DOWFROST™ HD offers enhanced corrosion protection and longer fluid life for more demanding industrial and high-temperature systems.
DOWFROST™ is backed by NSF HT1 registration (DOWFROST™ only, not HD), extensive OEM compatibility data, and a national distribution network that ensures product availability for planned maintenance and emergency refills. Whether you’re sourcing propylene glycol heat transfer fluid for a chiller system, fermentation tank, or indirect contact food application, ChemPoint can help identify the right DOWFROST™ product and ensure timely delivery to minimize downtime.

Problems Solved
Limited availability of food-grade heat transfer fluid in drums, totes, or bulk
Frequent fluid replacement due to thermal degradation or corrosion
Uncertainty around NSF registrations and compliance with indirect food contact regulations
Operational risks from off-spec or inhibited glycol blends with poor inhibitor systems
Long lead times from manufacturers or distributors without bulk storage capacity
Difficulties sourcing propylene glycol fluids with OEM approval or technical documentation
Need for corrosion protection in mixed-metal systems including aluminum and stainless steel
Downtime during seasonal startups or system flushing due to unplanned fluid needs
