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)

SPECIFICATIONS: Universal Cryo-Tek™ WARNINGS OR CAUTIONS Read all cautions and directions carefully before using this product. Not for use in steam systems. Not for use with CPVC pipe and fittings. Use Hercules Boiler Liquid or Base Hit II to stop leaks on system containing Cryo-Tek products. Use Hercules Boiler & Heating System Cleaner or Sizzle to clean system prior to using Cryo-Tek (see installations instructions).  Do not use in internal combustion engines as a coolant.

SPECIFICATIONS: Univeral Cryo-Tek™ DIRECTIONS FOR USE 1. CLEAN THE SYSTEM - It is recommended that any system, whether new or existing, be thoroughly cleaned prior to being charged with Cryo-Tek products. Any system contaminated with dirt and other materials reduces efficiency and wears the system prematurely. New systems need to be free of flux, solder residue, grease and any foreign particles.

SPECIFICATIONS: Universal Cryo-Tek™ 4. DETERMINE AMOUNT OF CRYO-TEK PEODUCT REQUIRED IN SYSTEM Determine the amount of Cryo-Tek product needed in system by multiplying total system capacity in gallons by the concentration factor of Cryo-Tek product (first column in each chart above). Total System Capacity (gal) X Concentration Factor of Cryo-Tek Product (%) = Amount of Cryo-Tek Product to be used (gal) 5. CHARGING THE SYSTEM System should be completely empty with burner and pump shut off.
