Envirotemp 360 fluid ™

Synthetic Ester Fluid

Product Description
Envirotemp 360 fluid is a less flammable dielectric liquid ideally suited for use in free-breathing transformers (both new
and retrofill) and is also proven in traction transformers. Envirotemp 360 fluid has been thoroughly evaluated and
conforms to IEC 61099 “Specifications for Unused Synthetic Organic Esters for Electrical Purposes.”

Advantages
• The high fire point (315°C vs 160°C for mineral oil) allows its classification as a K-Class, less flammable liquid.
• It is a high thermal class dielectric liquid, suitable for use in free-breathing applications.
• It continues to flow even in extremely cold climates.
• Envirotemp 360 fluid is optimized for oxidative stability. It surpasses the required performance of the
oxidative stability test of synthetic ester liquidsa even when tested for a period almost 5x longer.
• It is readily biodegradable according to OECD 301B and not classified as hazardous according to GHS.

Material Compatibility CONTACT

Envirotemp®™ 360 fluid is compatible with most materials used in conventional mineral oil filled transformers.
Some restrictions may exist with materials such as PVC’s, certain silicone rubber formulations, and Contact your sales representative for
polyurethanes. It is recommended to verify the chemical compatibility for each application. pricing and availability of the product

Storage Location Europe (The Netherlands)

Indoor tank storage is preferable. Since the fluid viscosity increases at low temperatures, indoor Cargill Bioindustrial

heat losses to the environment are not excessive). The tank and piping should be insulated if ambient
temperatures are low, to help minimize heating costs.

Tanks
Standard steel storage tanks conventionally used for transformer oil are satisfactory. Tanks should conform
to local codes and standards. New tanks are preferred, should have at least one manhole, and should be
protected from moisture by nitrogen blanketing. Before use, the inside of tanks should be sandblasted and
primed with a coating compatible with synthetic ester fluid. Primers used for transformers’ interiors are
recommended. Existing storage tanks that have been used for conventional transformer oil can be used for
Envirotemp 360 fluid if the following conditions are met:
• The tank is of proper capacity and the lines for filling and suction areadequate.
• The tank is thoroughly cleaned and inspected closely for any rusting condition or leakage.

Drum Handling Storage

• The Envirotemp 360 fluid-filled drums are sealed at the factory to protect against foreign
material and moisture contamination during shipping. Seals over the bung plugs assure that the
drum has not been opened.
• When drums of Envirotemp 360 fluid are to be stored, it is good practice to store them in a dry,
temperature-controlled building. It is recommended the drum be stored horizontally with the bungs of
the drum below the level of the fluid inside.
• A drip pan or basin is always recommended for drum storage.
