X500 Inhibited Antifreeze

X500 Bottle

Sentinel X500 is a multipurpose inhibited antifreeze formulated to help control corrosion, scale, boiler noise and hydrogen gassing in all types of indirect heating systems including those containing aluminium components. The product is not suitable for heat transfer circuits of solar energy collector panels.Sentinel X500 is suitable for use in all waters, both hard and soft. The low toxicity formulation is colourless and easy to handle.

Dosage:

One 20L pail of Sentinel X500 added to a typical domestic system of 8 to 10 radiator panels will provide the minimum concentration of corrosion and scale inhibitor and also protection from freezing down to approximately -6°C The Sentinel Test Kit can be used to verify that this level has been reached. To determine the precise glycol concentration, a refractometer is required.

For best results, systems should be cleansed and flushed in accordance with BS7593: new systems and those up to 6 months old with Sentinel X300, existing systems with Sentinel X400 or Sentinel X800 Jetflo.

If the system is already noisy due to lime scale deposits in the heat exchanger, Sentinel X200 should be added together with Sentinel X500.

Feeding:

Open Systems: Dose vie F&E cistern, via a by-pass feeder or use a Sentinel Dosing Vessel.
Sealed Systems: If the system is empty, add to any convenient point before filling. If full use a Sentinel Dosing Vessel to inject via the filling loop or other access point.
