A New Project of Distinction! Houghton Chemical was selected as the inhibited glycol supplier for the new Subaru 40,000 gallon paint line facility in Lafayette, Indiana. We successfully delivered back to back tank trucks of SAFE-T-THERM® HD concentrate, an inhibited propylene glycol. For quality and safety, pumps and hoses were engineered in a containment dyke and all personnel participated in quality control meetings. At Houghton Chemical we love the challenge of every unique glycol delivery. Check out our Projects of Distinction: www.houghton.com/heat-transfer-fluids/projects-of-distinction/


Latest Addition: Pah|Nol® Gold Automotive Antifreeze. This is a supplement to our other long standing all-purpose Pah|Nol® Gold coolant product, formulated for use in heavy duty diesel trucks. Pah|Nol® Gold Automotive antifreeze is a high quality, all purpose antifreeze designed for use in cars and light duty trucks giving you more options for your antifreeze needs.

Are you looking for a comparable product to Dowfrost®? Houghton customers rely on SAFE-T-THERM® GRAS as a top quality food safe inhibited glycol for applications where contact with potables might occur. SAFE-T-THERM® GRAS can be used instead of Dowfrost® or in systems already containing Dowfrost®. For leak detection, SAFE-T-THERM® GRAS contains a FDA approved bright orange dye. As opposed to distributors, we offer manufacturer pricing. Ask for documentation for submittal purposes. Expect excellent product quality combined with superior logistics, and exceptional customer service.

Do you have a bulk glycol delivery that needs over 150 feet of hose? Prepare your glycol delivery site ahead of time. Houghton Chemical now rents our hoses to save our customers time and money. Get the hoses connected and ready on site the day before delivery. Therefore, on delivery day our bulk glycol truck can arrive and immediately hook up to the prepared hoses and begin filling your glycol system. Lets get the job done in under two hours!

West New York Schools in New Jersey (NJ) has a prepped hydronic system! Houghton worked with a water treater to produce the needed concentration of SAFE-T-THERM® HD for two of locations. The inhibited propylene glycol fluid will protect the system from freezing and corrosion, especially during the cold winter months. Have a great school year, everyone!

The hydronic system at the Lincoln School in West Orange, New Jersey (NJ) has had a makeover! First, Houghton provided a lithium chloride test kit to asses the system. Next, we worked with the mechanical contractor to deliver 3000 gallons of premixed glycol concentrate. With a small crew, the system was quickly filled with new product.

Where can you filter glycol? Houghton Chemical now offers glycol filtration services. Filtration helps prolong the life of your inhibited glycol. We can filter your propylene glycol or ethylene glycol onsite or at one of our facilities. On site, we will load the inhibited glycol on the trailer and recharge the system while running the glycol through a filter. While you clean, flush, or repair your system, we can filter your glycol at one of our facilities. At any time, Houghton can also re-inhibit, adjust concentration, or add dye per your request.
