Overview
DOWTHERM™ RP is a high-performance heat transfer fluid for non-pressurized liquid phase systems between −20°C and 350°C (−4°F to 660°F). DOWTHERM™ RP advantageously degrades to low–molecular weight compounds, reducing the need to clean out the buildup of high-weight products seen in lesser-quality heat transfer fluids. DOWTHERM™ RP exhibits good low-temperature properties, reducing the necessity of heat tracing and low-temp start-up concerns while exhibiting excellent high-temperature stability.
