Armcoltherm 680 Synthetic Heat Transfer Fluid offers greater thermal stability than competitive aromatic-based fluids that cover similar temperature ranges. Testing (ASTM D6743) shows that, compared to its closest competitor, Armcoltherm 680 Heat Transfer Fluid experiences 1/2 the amount of fluid degradation when maintained at 700°F for 500 hours. Less degradation means less maintenance and a longer fluid life.
