Each strip has two pads. One pad measures the level of propylene glycol, the other measures the level of corrosion inhibitor. These levels should be checked as part of routine boiler maintenance.
What are the differences between virgin propylene glycol and reclaimed/recycled propylene glycol?
Virgin propylene glycol has never been used previously. Some boiler manufacturers state in their warranties that antifreeze made with virgin propylene glycol is required or the warranty is voided.
Recycled propylene glycol is captured and cleaned after use (mainly for de-icing aircraft). It is then considered a lower grade of propylene glycol and may still contain other ingredients even after cleaning.
Hercules Cryo-Tek antifreeze is made only with virgin propylene glycol.
What is the "Triple Protection Package" in Cryo-Tek antifreeze?
This is a patented formulation that is combined with virgin propylene glycol to:
Prevent corrosion
Prevent scale
Maintain proper pH levels
