MAK THERMIC FLUID A

High performance heat transfer fluid
MAK Thermic Fluid A is a new generation, superior quality Consistent Performance – offers extended oil life, good
heat transfer oil formulated exclusively from highly refined pump circulation and efficient fluid heating. Enhances life of
base stock and specially chosen additive. The antioxidant rotary seal and pump.
additive provides excellent resistance to oxidation and
thermal break down of the oil and ensures longer operating Non-Corrosive and Non-Toxic – no corrosion of the piping
life. This oil has a very high flash point, low vapour pressure and other system elements. Provides safe working
and low volatility. MAK Thermic Fluid A is compatible with environment to the operators.
