A coolant is a media that removes excess of heat generated from an internal combustion engine so that it can perform perfectly well by maintaining proper operating temperature. In the previous days, water was considered as the best diesel engine or industrial coolant, radiator coolant or simply automotive coolant because nothing is cheaper than water and also because of its rich sources. Then in the next scene, brines come in to replace water as an industrial and automotive coolant because of the fact that water also freezes and is corrosive. So, a better substitute comes into the field. It is nothing but Ethylene Glycol or Mono Ethylene Glycol or simply MEG. It is less corrosive in nature and thus helps to extend system metal’s life.

When we are discussing about the cooling systems associated with Food Industries, Beverages, Breweries, other food & carbonated soft drinks related industries etc., Inhibited Ethylene Glycol is not the best Antifreeze Coolant or Heat Transfer Fluid. Mono Ethylene Glycol is toxic in nature. So, if it is unfortunately or accidentally mixed with food, milk or carbonated drinks, it will cause health hazard if consumed. Keeping in mind this serious issue, Chemtex found a better alternative for these industries. It is nothing but Propylene Glycol or PG. With the help of leading edge technologies it can be blended with proper corrossion inhibitor package to form Inhibited Propylene Glycol or Inhibited PG.
