Building mechanics

The building mechanics sector covers the following areas: plumbing, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration, fire protection and industrial piping. Here is a list of the most popular products used by the experts of this industry.

Ethylene glycol  (ETH26100)

Ethylene glycol is mostly known and used as an antifreeze and a refrigerant. It is also used in the manufacturing of textile fibers and polyester resins, the primary material of water bottles. Ethylene glycol is toxic if swallowed. Biodegradable. Available in several concentrations and several formats.

Propylene glycol (PRO53385)

Propylene glycol is a synthetic liquid that absorbs water. It is mostly used in the food industry, electronic cigarettes (vaping liquid), the drug and cosmetic industry, the textile industry, the entertainment industry (e.g. to supply smoke machines) and the aircraft industry. Non-toxic. Biodegradable. Available in several concentrations and several formats.

SIMFROST AND SIMTHERM – HEAT-CARRYING FLUIDS

The Simfrost which is propylene glycol-based, and the Simtherm which is an ethylene glycol-based, are used the heating and cooling systems, and in a host of de-icing, defrosting and dehumidification applications. These products are available in several concentrations. To avoid all these potential performance problems, this solution is diluted with demineralized and deionized water and inhibitors specially formulated against corrosion are added.  

Simtherm :

• Ethylene glycol-based.
• Colorless. The fluid is colored red because of its toxicity and to detect leaks quickly.
• Excellent protection against freezing and bursting.
• Enhanced energy efficiency.
• Toxic in terms of health and safety.
• Less viscous solution.
• Biodegradable.
