Does Your Hot-Oil Supplier Deliver Technical Support?

Multi-purpose oils are designed to provide an acceptable level of service in many different applications. To perform adequately across the board, a variety of trade-offs and compromises must be engineered into the blend. Unfortunately, this kind of "low common denominator" approach can lead to mediocre results—-or worse. In truly demanding service, substandard performance can quickly become critical.

The heat transfer oils manufactured by large petroleum companies may, or may not, share these compromising characteristics. But even if they don't, in many cases they are less refined and processed, contain higher levels of impurities, and may even have base stocks not optimally selected for the application you have in mind. They may be more odorous, more toxic, and in the end, require more oil and system maintenance than higher quality thermal fluids.

Companies like Paratherm are totally dedicated to the research, development, and distribution of heat transfer fluids exclusively for thermal oil systems. Paratherm Corporation offers in-depth technical support, system troubleshooting, and fluid analysis. Moreover, close liaison with equipment designers and manufacturers means you can count on accurate information and relevant assistance during the design, start-up, and continuing operation of heat transfer operations. All this at a cost that may surprise you. If you're now using a multi-purpose, or petro-company heat transfer oil, and switch to Paratherm, you may end up saving more than you spend.
