DOWCAL 10
Inhibited Ethylene Glycol-based Heat Transfer Fluid

DOWCAL* 10 heat transfer fluid is an Key Features of DOWCAL 10 Fluid:

ethylene glycol-based fluid with a • Better freeze protection
specially formulated inhibitor package • Better corrosion protection in hot and cold systems
to prevent corrosion. Available only in • Prevents scale formation from hard water
Europe, this fluid is used in water- • Compatible with commonly used elastomers
based HVAC systems to provide freeze • Long fluid life and low maintenance costs
and corrosion protection. It can also be • Greater cost-effectiveness
used in chilling, freezing, and second-
ary cooling, as well as secondary heat
transfer and freeze point depression.

Recommended use temperature

range: -50°C (-60°F) to 170°C (350°F)

Freezing points are below -50°C (-60°F).
NOTE: Generally, for an extended margin of protection, you should select a temperature in this table that is at least 3°C (5°F) lower than the expected lowest ambient
temperature. Inhibitor levels should be adjusted for solutions of less than 30% glycol. Contact Dow for information on specific cases or further assistance.
