ChevronTexaco Texatherm®

Texaco Texatherm and Texatherm 22 deliver value through:Excellent thermal efficiency and stability — Long oil life is assured by outstanding thermal and oxidation stability which prevents sludging or deposits inside piping.Good rust and corrosion protection — No rusting or corrosive problems in circulating oil system.Excellent performance at temperature extremes — Outstanding thermal stability assures minimal thermal cracking at high temperatures or in repeated cycling from low to high temperatures.Ease of pumping and circulation — Excellent stability assures minimal oxidation which prevents sludging or deposits inside piping.Minimized makeup oil — Low vapor pressure combined with low volatility and high flash point means minimum evaporative loss.Texaco Texatherm and Texatherm 22 are mineral-type transfer oils for use in secondary or indirect heating systems.Texaco Texatherm and Texatherm 22 are nontoxic, noncorrosive, and has low odor level. They make excellent seal compatibility and can absorb heat quickly and transport it to the material or fluid requiring heat.Their excellent thermal and oxidation stability provides long service life and clean heat exchanger systems.There are many uses of heat in processing materials. There are also many ways of transferring heat to the material or fluid that needs to be heated. Texaco Texatherm and Texatherm 22 are excellent for this purpose and offer many advantages. They can be used at low pressures. In most applications, the equipment required to apply the oils is relatively inexpensive. The application equipment can also be portable and, therefore, used where it is needed.Texaco Texatherm and Texatherm 22 are recommended for use in heat transfer systems where fuel oil, gas, or electricity is used to heat a fluid, which then transfers the heat to the point of application.In closed or open systems, Texaco Texatherm can be used where bulk oil temperatures do not exceed 288°C (550°F) and skin temperatures may be as high as 316°C (600°F). The oil surface in contact with air in open systems should not exceed 107°C (225°F).Copper and copper alloys should not be used in heat transfer systems with a hydrocarbon fluid unless air (oxygen) is excluded from contact with the fluid by hermetic sealing and/or an inert gas "blanket."Typical test data are average values only. Minor variations which do not affect product performance are to be expected in normal manufacturing. CPS Number: 221507; MSDS Number: 8706
