Charlotte Pipe
  • Charlotte Pipe is one of the world’s leading pipe and plastics manufacturers
  • Their heat transfer systems operate continuously at temperatures of up to 300°C (572°F), requiring heat transfer fluid change-outs every 4-6 months, with full production line shutdown
  • By switching to Petro-Canada Lubricant's CALFLO AF, Charlotte Pipe has now doubled their heat transfer change-out intervals

Read the Case Study

  • Charlotte Pipe's heat transfer systems operate continuously at temperatures of up to 300°C (572°F)
  • Heat Transfer Fluid change-outs are required every 4-6 months, with full production line shutdown

"A lot of unnecessary problems... oxidizing, breaking down prematurely and leaving a lot of sludge build-up in oil tanks and extruders."

– Dave Feggestad, Plant Manager

“When we tested CALFLO™ AF in the same system, we noticed that it didn’t have any of these problems. CALFLO AF has a longer fluid life, stands up better to higher temperatures and doesn’t create any sludge. With CALFLO AF, we only have to change-out our heat transfer systems once a year.”

– Dave Feggestad, Plant Manager

With CALFLO AF, Charlotte Pipe has doubled their heat transfer change-out intervals, requiring change-outs and production line shut-downs only once per year.
