Paratherm MG is a NSF® registered HT1 heat transfer fluid.

* These are typical laboratory values, and are not guaranteed for all samples. 
** Note: Normal practice is to size expansion tanks so that they are 1/4 to 1/3 full when the system is cold, and 2/3 to 3/4 full when the system is at the maximum normal operating temperature.
