Overview
DOWFROST™ LC 55% is a high-performance thermal fluid engineered for use in sensitive and complex electronic cooling processes like server banks & data centers. DOWFROST™ LC 55% is an easy-to-use pre-diluted solution of propylene glycol in water with additional proprietary corrosion inhibitor additives for maximum thermal control & transfer without concern for system corrosion. DOWFROST™ LC 55% provides freeze protection down to -40°F for systems exposed to intense outdoor environments and provides incredible corrosion prevention in high-copper containing metal components.
DOWFROST™ LC 55% is formulated from virgin Dow Puraguard™ USP grade propylene glycol, resulting in the industries most consistent & high-quality thermal fluid that resists foaming, premature degradation or poor odors that are common among inferior or home-brew glycol fluids.
