Introduction
Petro-Canada CALFLO™ is a highly efficient heat transfer fluid formulated to lower operating costs in systems where fluid resistance to oxidative breakdown is critical. CALFLO unique chemistry starts with a blend of 99.9% pure base fluids, produced using the HT purity process. These crystal clear fluids are free of impurities that can hinder performance. Utilizing more than 25 years of formulating experience, Petro-Canada fortifies these thermally stable fluids with specially selected additives to provide stronger resistance to oxidative breakdown than leading Competitive fluids.
Features
- Better oxidative resistance than leading competitors extend fluid life and lower operating costs.
- Low vapour pressure can save on top-up costs while improving workplace safety.
- Natural lubricity extends operational savings.
- No compromise to environmental and workplace health and safety.

Applications
Petro-Canada CALFLO AF is recommended for use in non-pressurized, liquid phase, closed heat transfer systems operating at bulk temperatures up to 316°C (600°F). CALFLO AF’s outstanding resistance to oxidative breakdown can result in longer fluid life and lower operating costs in systems where exposure to air cannot be avoided, and oxidation is the most likely form of fluid Degradation. Typical applications include temperature control units used in plastic extrusion, plastic moulding, and metal die-casting operations.
Petro-Canada CALFLO Synthetic is recommended for use in non-pressurized, liquid phase, closed heat transfer systems operating continuously at moderate bulk temperatures. CALFLO Synthetic’s low viscosity ensures outstanding heat transfer efficiency even at moderate operating temperatures while its low temperature fluidity ensures excellent pumpability under extreme conditions, eliminating the need for expensive heat tracing and insulation in outdoor applications with ambient temperatures down to -48°C (-54°F).
Petro-Canada CALFLO HTF is recommended for use in non-pressurized, liquid phase, closed heat transfer systems operating at bulk temperatures up to 326°C (620°F), with tube skin temperatures as high as 343°C (650°F).
Petro-Canada CALFLO LT is recommended for use in non-pressurized, liquid phase, closed heat Transfer systems operating continuously at bulk temperatures up to 288°C (550°F). Yet, CALFLO LT’s low viscosity ensures outstanding heat transfer efficiency even at moderate operating Temperatures. Its low temperature fluidity ensures good pumpability under extreme conditions, Eliminating the need for expensive heat tracing and insulation in outdoor applications with ambient temperatures down to -40°C (-40°F).
Petro-Therm is recommended for use in non-pressurized, liquid phase, closed heat transfer systems operating with bulk fluid temperatures up to 315°C (599°F). Petro-Therm will give long, economical service in various industrial process applications such as asphalt plants, marine, wood processing, dry kilns and institutional laundry and heating.
