IceClear® HD
HEAVY DUTY, EXTENDED LIFE, PRE-DILUTED, Non-Nitrite Glycerin Coolant / Antifreeze
DESCRIPTION
IceClear® HD is a patented biobased, ready-to-use, non-glycol coolant / anti-freeze / heat transfer fluid which combines highly refined glycerin certified to ASTM D7640 and the industry leading corrosion inhibitor package (NAP FREE; No Nitrites, Amines, or Phosphates) to create the only non-glycol coolant / anti-freeze of its kind in the world!
PERFORMANCE
IceClear® HD meets the requirements of ASTM D7714 (Glycerin Base Engine Coolant for Automobile and Light-Duty Service) and ASTM D7715 (Standard Specification for Fully-Formulated Glycerin Base Coolant for Heavy-Duty Engines). Our state-of-the-art, non-nitrated corrosion package, provides outstanding extended protection against liner pitting and corrosion of steel, copper, brass, solder, cast aluminum, and cast iron. IceClear HD lubricates pumps and valves, provides excellent scaling resistance, is fully compatible with gaskets, seals, elastomers and other non-metallic pump and engine parts, offers a freeze point of -31° F, burst protection to -50° F. IceClear® HD provides extended life up to a 750,000 mile change interval (7000 hours) in properly maintained engine systems and up to 5 years in static systems or low temperature systems (<150º F).
SAFETY/ENVIRONMENT
IceClear® HD is the leader in quality, safety and environmental concerns. HD is a certified USDA Biobased Product in the USDA BioPreferred® Programand is NSF listed (HT2). IceClear HD is readily biodegradable, non-toxic, non-hazardous and has a neutral pH. Glycerin is considered “GRAS”, (Generally Recognized As Safe) by the FDA (Federal Food and Drug Administration).
APPLICATIONS
Designed for industrial and environmentally sensitive coolant / anti-freeze, heat transfer and secondary refrigerant applications, IceClear® HD can be used in virtually all gasoline, diesel and natural gas engines and other applications such as:
• Boilers and other Closed Loop Systems
• Solar Systems
• Floor Heating Systems
• HVAC
• Directional Drilling Fluid
• Hydrostatic/Pressure Testing
• Automatic Fire Sprinkler Systems
FLUID TESTING...BUY NOW & RECEIVE A FREE TESTER!
IceClear® HD is a glycerin based product, DO NOT use testers designed for glycols. Freeze point range can quickly be determined by a special tester (pictured left) available from Orison or more accurately by a Brix refractometer (Brix pictured right).
The freeze point tester (left) is included free with all orders of 4 gallons or more. Recommended drain and recharge with IceClear® HD if Brix value is less than 37.0 as this indicates the product has been diluted by at least 20%. A conversion chart showing Brix readings and freeze point is also available from Orison. Do not use glycol testers to determine freeze point protection.
WHAT ABOUT MIXING FLUIDS
Although no negative effects are expected, mixing antifreeze/coolants is not recommended due to varying freeze point depressants and corrosion inhibitor technologies which leads to difficulties determining actual freeze point protection and corrosion inhibition properties. Use only IceClear® HD in the system.

The chart below is supplied as a guide for diagnostic / maintenance purposes. The values are calculated values and are only approximations. IceClear® HD is ready-to-use and not to be diluted as the result would weaken the corrosion inhibitor package.
| IceClear HD % (weight) | Brix Value (Refractometer) | Freeze Point F/C | Boiling Point F/C | Specific Heat @35F | ViscositycSt @68F (20C) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | 46.5 | -31/-35 | 228/109 | .74 | 10.8 |
| 90 | 42.1 | -17/-27 | 225/107 | .77 | 7.9 |

| 50 | 24.1 | 15/-10 | 217/103 | .87 | 2.5 |
Custom blending is available to meet specific physical properties such as freeze point and/or heat transfer capabilities.
MAINTENANCE DIRECTIONS
1. Use straight, DO NOT DILUTE.
2. Drain cooling system completely* and flush with HD COOLING SYSTEM CLEANER to remove scale & rust build-up. Use only IceClear® HD in the system and fill only after system has been completely drained and flushed. Do not mix with other coolants / anti-freeze / heat transfer fluids or chemicals.
3. Use ONLY CHEMICAL FREE FILTERS.
4. Check fluid level on regular maintenance schedule. Top off with only undiluted IceClear HD if system is low.
5. Test fluid for freeze point levels every 50,000 miles, 1500 hours or every 6 months, whichever comes first. Recommended drain and recharge with new IceClear HD if Brix value is less than 37.0 as this indicates the product has been diluted more than 20%.
6. IceClear® HD lab analysis is available through Orison. Add IceClear HD Extender (shown right, available below) every 100,000 miles or as Orison identifies per lab analysis; whichever comes first.
*NOTE-even after draining/ flushing cooling system, residual water may remain in the block. Be sure to check with tester after filling to determine HD has not been diluted too much. If necessary, drain and refill.
ASTM 7715 specification covers the requirements for fully formulated coolants for cooling systems of Heavy Duty Engines and includes ASTM 7714 as a pre-requisite. ASTM 7714 specification covers the requirements for Automobile and Light-Duty Service.
