	The above information is correct at the time of going to press.
It does not necessarily form part of the product specification.
	A detailed product specification is available from your local BASF
representative.
Properties
	Glythermin P44 is a non-toxic, vir­tu­ally odor­less, hygro­scopic liq­uid. It is
based on pro­py­lene gly­col.
	The cor­ro­sion inhib­i­tors con­tained in Glythermin P44 reli­ably pro­tect the
met­als nor­mally used in solar col­lec­tors and other heat­ing equip­ment from
cor­ro­sion, age­ing and scal­ing.
	 Mix­tures of Glythermin P44 and water do not demix.
	 Glythermin P44 does not con­tain any ­nitrites, phos­phates or ­amines.
Mis­cibil­ity	Glythermin P44 is mis­cible with typical com­mer­cial heat-trans­fer ­fluids based
on pro­py­lene gly­col.
Applications
	Glythermin P44 has to be diluted with at least 25 % v/v and no more than
75 % v/v of water when it is used in heating or cooling circuits. Potable
water (100 mg/kg Cl– max.) or demineralized water with a neutral pH must
be used.
In order to prevent corrosion, the following minimum and maximum
concentrations of Glythermin P44 should be observed.
	 In solar heating equipment	 40 – 75 % v/v Glythermin P44
	 In other equipment	 25 – 75 % v/v Glythermin P44
Stability in solar heating 	 Sustained exposure to temperatures higher than 170 °C causes
equipment	Glythermin P44 to age prematurely.
	Glythermin P44 starts to age irreversible at temperatures higher than
200 °C, with the result that the reliability of the equipment may be
jeopardized.
	The following table shows the effectiveness of mixtures of Glythermin P44 in
inhibiting corrosion.
	Corrosion tests according to ASTM D 1384 (American Society for Testing
and Materials)
	 Average change in weight of coupons in g/m2

	 Material	 Glythermin P44/

	 Copper (F-Cu)	 – 0.5
	 Soft solder (L Pb Sn 30)	 – 0.2

	 Steel (H II)	 + 0.4
	 Cast aluminium (G AlSi6Cu4)	 + 0.4
	Mixtures of Glythermin P44 and water do not attack the sealants normally
used in heating systems. The following list of sealants, elastomers and plas-
tics that are resistant to mixtures of Glythermin P44 and water has been
compiled from experience, and the literature.
	Examples of sealants are Fermit® and Fermitol® (registered trademarks of
Nissen  Volk GmbH, Hamburg) and hemp
	 Butyl rubber	 IIR
	 Chloroprene	 CR
	 Ethylene-propylene-diene rubber	 EPDM
	 Fluorocarbon elastomers	 FPM
	 Natural rubber at temperatures up to 80 °C	 NR
	 Nitrile rubber	 NBR
	 Polyacetal	 POM
	 Polyamide at temperatures up to 115 °C	 PA
	 Polybutene	 PB
	 Polyethylene, soft/hard	 PE-LD/PE-HD
	 Polyethylene, crosslinked	 VPE
	 Polypropylene	 PP
	 Polytetrafluoroethylene	 PTFE
	 Polyvinyl chloride, rigid	 PVC h
	 Silicone rubber	 Si
	 Styrene-butadiene rubber at temperatures	 SBR
	 of up to 100 °C
	 Unsaturated polyester resins	 UP
	Phenolic and aminoplast resins, plasticized PVC and polyurethane
­elastomers are not resistant to Glythermin P44.
	An impor­tant point to note is that the per­for­mance of elas­to­mers such as
EPDM is deter­mined by the ­nature and ­amount of the con­stit­u­ent addi­tives
and the vul­can­iza­tion con­di­tions, as well as the prop­er­ties of the rub­ber
­itself.
For this rea­son, we would rec­om­mend test­ing the resis­tance of these elas­to­
mers to mix­tures of Glythermin P44 and water ­before they are put into
ser­vice for the first time.
This ­applies par­tic­u­larly to elas­to­mers ­intended for use as mem­branes for
expan­sion tanks as ­described in DIN 4807.
Gaskets made from 70 EPDM 281* have been shown to be resistant to
mixtures of Glythermin P44 and water at temperatures of up to 160 °C, and
gaskets such as REINZ-AFM 34** and Centellen 3820***, which is based on
a combination of Aramid and special NBR, have been shown to be resistant
at temperatures of up to 200 °C.

	If ­losses occur due to evap­o­ra­tion, the ­system can be ­topped up with neu­
tral pot­able water. If leak­ages or other ­losses occur, the heat-trans­fer liq­uid
in the ­system must be replen­ished with an aque­ous Glythermin P44 solu­tion
of the same con­cen­tra­tion. In cases of doubt, the Glythermin P44 con­tent
must be deter­mined.

It does not necessarily form part of the product specification. A detailed product specification is available from your local BASF representative. Properties Glythermin P44 is a non-toxic, vir­tu­ally odor­less, hygro­scopic liq­uid. It is based on pro­py­lene gly­col. The cor­ro­sion inhib­i­tors con­tained in Glythermin P44 reli­ably pro­tect the met­als nor­mally used in solar col­lec­tors and other heat­ing equip­ment from cor­ro­sion, age­ing and scal­ing. Mix­tures of Glythermin P44 and water do not demix. Glythermin P44 does not con­tain any ­nitrites, phos­phates or ­amines. Mis­cibil­ity Glythermin P44 is mis­cible with typical com­mer­cial heat-trans­fer ­fluids based on pro­py­lene gly­col. Applications Glythermin P44 has to be diluted with at least 25 % v/v and no more than 75 % v/v of water when it is used in heating or cooling circuits. Potable water (100 mg/kg Cl– max.) or demineralized water with a neutral pH must be used. In order to prevent corrosion, the following minimum and maximum concentrations of Glythermin P44 should be observed. In solar heating equipment 40 – 75 % v/v Glythermin P44 In other equipment 25 – 75 % v/v Glythermin P44 Stability in solar heating Sustained exposure to temperatures higher than 170 °C causes equipment Glythermin P44 to age prematurely. Glythermin P44 starts to age irreversible at temperatures higher than 200 °C, with the result that the reliability of the equipment may be jeopardized. The following table shows the effectiveness of mixtures of Glythermin P44 in inhibiting corrosion.

TI/EVO 1024 e August 2011 Page 3 of 12 Glythermin P44 Material Glythermin P44/ water (ASTM standard) 1 : 2 Copper (F-Cu) – 0.5 Soft solder (L Pb Sn 30) – 0.2 Brass (Ms 63) – 0.2 Cast iron (GG 25) + 0.2 Steel (H II) + 0.4 Cast aluminium (G AlSi6Cu4) + 0.4 Mixtures of Glythermin P44 and water do not attack the sealants normally used in heating systems. The following list of sealants, elastomers and plas- tics that are resistant to mixtures of Glythermin P44 and water has been compiled from experience, and the literature. Examples of sealants are Fermit® and Fermitol® (registered trademarks of Nissen Volk GmbH, Hamburg) and hemp Butyl rubber IIR Chloroprene CR Ethylene-propylene-diene rubber EPDM Fluorocarbon elastomers FPM Natural rubber at temperatures up to 80 °C NR Nitrile rubber NBR Polyacetal POM Polyamide at temperatures up to 115 °C PA Polybutene PB Polyethylene, soft/hard PE-LD/PE-HD Polyethylene, crosslinked VPE Polypropylene PP Polytetrafluoroethylene PTFE Polyvinyl chloride, rigid PVC h Silicone rubber Si Styrene-butadiene rubber at temperatures SBR of up to 100 °C Unsaturated polyester resins UP Phenolic and aminoplast resins, plasticized PVC and polyurethane ­elastomers are not resistant to Glythermin P44. An impor­tant point to note is that the per­for­mance of elas­to­mers such as EPDM is deter­mined by the ­nature and ­amount of the con­stit­u­ent addi­tives and the vul­can­iza­tion con­di­tions, as well as the prop­er­ties of the rub­ber ­itself. For this rea­son, we would rec­om­mend test­ing the resis­tance of these elas­to­ mers to mix­tures of Glythermin P44 and water ­before they are put into ser­vice for the first time. This ­applies par­tic­u­larly to elas­to­mers ­intended for use as mem­branes for expan­sion tanks as ­described in DIN 4807. Gaskets made from 70 EPDM 281* have been shown to be resistant to mixtures of Glythermin P44 and water at temperatures of up to 160 °C, and gaskets such as REINZ-AFM 34** and Centellen 3820***, which is based on a combination of Aramid and special NBR, have been shown to be resistant at temperatures of up to 200 °C. *** Supplied by Carl Freudenberg, Dichtungs- und Schwingungstechnik, Postfach 1 00 03 63, D-69465 Weinheim *** Supplied by REINZ-Dichtungs GmbH, Postfach 19 09, D-89229 Neu-Ulm *** Supplied by Hecker Werke GmbH Co., D-71093 Weil im Schönbuch

If leak­ages or other ­losses occur, the heat-trans­fer liq­uid in the ­system must be replen­ished with an aque­ous Glythermin P44 solu­tion of the same con­cen­tra­tion. In cases of doubt, the Glythermin P44 con­tent must be deter­mined.
