Product Overview
Arctic Assist 60/40 is a pre-blended heat transfer fluid and antifreeze formulated with a 60% concentrate to 40% water ratio. Engineered for enhanced freeze protection in industrial and commercial cooling systems, this ready-to-use solution delivers superior low-temperature performance compared to 50/50 blends while maintaining efficient heat transfer characteristics.
The fluid appears as a clear, colorless liquid with a density of approximately 1.058 g/mL at 25°C. With a freezing point of approximately -48°C and a boiling point of 108°C, Arctic Assist 60/40 provides extended protection in extreme cold environments. Its pre-mixed formulation eliminates the need for on-site dilution, ensuring consistent concentration and reliable system performance. Compatible with HDPE storage and standard industrial piping materials.
