Title: Re: Mixing brands of gylcol?
Post by: Wood Burner on October 24, 2013, 02:26:38 PM

I have cryo-tek-100 in my system now but can't get it and need to add some. It is Propylene Glycol can I add another brand of Propylene Glycol?

Thanks
Don

Thanks for the replies, I'm in Canada and can ship it to a northern state and can go get it but would sooner not as that sure adds up. They don't ship to Canada.....I've got calls into the companies so I guess I will wait and see. Just thought somebody might now an answer right off hand.

Got the answer, propylene glycol is propylene glycol and the difference falls in rust inhibitors and other additives. But so long as the rust inhibitors match up your good to go. In my case they are both the same and from what I've heard that it is what most companies use (Dipotassium Phosphate). The rep said that if they aren't matched one can cause the other to lesson and rust protection will drop. As far as the other additives it won't make a difference.

Very comforting to sort this out.
