November is Here – Time to Top Up Your Glycol Systems
As the temperatures drop, it's crucial to ensure your heating, cooling, and heat rejection systems are fully prepared for winter. Topping up your glycol systems is one of the most important steps you can take to avoid frozen pipes, system damage, and costly repairs.
At WTP (Water Treatment Products), we specialise in providing high-quality inhibited glycol solutions designed to protect your systems and improve their longevity. We offer a range of glycol formulations with the appropriate inhibitors tailored to meet the specific needs of your system, ensuring reliable performance through the colder months.
Why Choose Inhibited Glycol?
While traditional glycol can provide basic freeze protection, inhibited glycol goes a step further. Our formulations not only prevent freezing but also offer advanced corrosion protection and scale inhibition, helping to maintain the integrity of your system over time.
Key benefits of using inhibited glycol include:
Corrosion resistance for all metals in your system
Prevention of scale build-up, ensuring more efficient heat transfer
Increased system longevity by protecting against the damaging effects of corrosion and freezing
Compatibility with a wide variety of system types, including mixed-metal and aluminium components
Often negates the need for a separate corrosion inhibitor, saving time and simplifying the dosing operation
Glycol Maintenance Made Simple
When topping up glycol in your system, we suggest following the recommended 4:1 dose rate — for every 4 parts of system volume, 1 part should be glycol, reducing the freezing point to -12.5°C.
Regular checks of glycol levels and concentration ensure that your system operates efficiently and safely through the winter months.
How WTP Can Help
At WTP, we provide a range of inhibited glycol options to suit a variety of system needs. Whether you're looking for MPG-based glycol for sensitive applications or more standard formulations for other industrial systems, we have the right solution for you. All our glycol products are formulated to prevent freezing, reduce corrosion, and keep your systems running smoothly in cold temperatures.
Practical Glycol Maintenance Tips
To make sure your system is fully prepared for winter, here are a few tips:
Check Glycol Concentration – Ensure your system is topped up with the correct amount of glycol based on the expected winter temperatures.
Top-Up Regularly – If your system hasn’t been serviced for a while, schedule a glycol check-up to make sure levels are adequate.
Safe Handling – Always use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling glycol products.
Choose the Right Product – Be sure to select the correct type of product for your system’s materials and performance needs.
