Universal CRYO-TEK™ Date: August 2016
Formulated for use with all metals used in Heating and Cooling Systems
APPROVALS & LISTINGS
The virgin propylene glycol used in Cryo-Tek FG is “GRAS” (Generally Recognized As Safe) for incidental contact with
food. Meets and exceeds ATSM D1384.
SPECIFIC USES
Universal Cryo-Tek can be used in hydronic heating systems, hydronic heating systems with aluminum heat exchangers,
air-hydronic heat pumps and furnaces, cooling systems and chillers, refrigeration systems, cooling towers, snow melt
systems, solar systems, in-floor heating systems and for plumbing and fire hydrant winterization . Operating Temperature
Range for Closed System: Up to 250°F
SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS*
Add any Cryo-Tek product to protect pipes from freezing and bursting. Also prevents freeze-ups in chiller systems,
recreational vehicles, seasonal homes, mobile homes, trailers, boats, sprinkler systems, and industrial use.
*For special applications which may not be covered on this or other Hercules literature, please contact Hercules Technical
Services Department by phone 1-800-321-9532, or fax 1-800-321-9535, or visit our technical database web-site at
www.oatey.com/technical-info.
* Please check with equipment manufacturer of system to determine compatibility with this product.
**Minimum flow protection levels are estimated and are dependent on system and equipment.
A blend of virgin (not recycled) propylene glycol and high purity Triple Protection additives,
formulated for use in closed loop hydronic heating and cooling systems regardless of the make-up of
heat exchangers and tubing . Universal Cryo-Tek can also be used in radiant tube heating systems, solar
heating systems, and with aluminum heat exchangers. Hercules’ exclusive Triple Protection formula
stabilizes pH to prevent acid corrosion, chelates hard water minerals and inhibits the formation of scale
and sediment. These components work together to keep the system clean and operating efficiently by
eliminating system deposits, improving heat transfer and minimizing wear to moving parts and
seals. Cryo-Tek is compatible with PEX and elastomeric radiant tubing, commonly used materials for seals
and bushings and provides corrosion protection for cast iron, steel, aluminum, copper, brass and
solder. Cryo-Tek has not been tested for use in systems containing CPVC plastic. Universal Cryo-Tek
replaces the need to stock both a regular grade product and a special product for Aluminum. It can
also be used in systems with galvanized piping. Univeral Cryo-Tek is a 96% PG and water blend, has a
lower freeze point and higher boiling point than water and is non-flammable, odorless, non -toxic,
nonirritating and compatible with Hercules boiler stop leaks and heating system cleaner products.
Test Kits and Accessories
Freeze protection levels and corrosion protection levels should be checked annually. Use Hercules Refractometer
(35290) and pH Meter (35272).Add additional Cryo-Tek product if freeze protection is inadequate. Add
Sludgehammer Universal Corrosion Inhibitor (35297) if pH is below 8.5. (see Maintenance)
