High-Performance Coolant for Extruders, Thermoformers
iD Additives’ new Eco-Pro Cool-Ex is designed to optimize closed-loop cooling systems on machinery such as extruders and thermoformers.
iD Additives, Inc., will feature at this month’s PTXPO the latest addition to its Eco-Pro 360 line, that have been shown to be efficient in removing rust and cleaning out clogged water lines in injection molds, heat exchangers, chill rolls, and other system components. Going one step further, is new Eco-Pro Cool-Ex coolant designed to optimize extruder cooling (e.g., feed sections, zone coolers, jackets, rails) or any other closed-loop cooling water systems.

Cool-Ex is used in lieu of your facility water, which often contains contaminants responsible for scaling, deposits, and corrosion. Utilizing such a coolant reportedly will inhibit mineral scale and fouling, and will prevent unscheduled shutdowns related to water.
