Disposal of Solar Anti-Freeze Solution

The solution we supply with our solar systems is a thermal transfer fluid based on 1,2 

propylene glycol and water. The solution also contains corrosion inhibitors and has been 

specifically designed for used in solar systems with elevated temperatures, such as those 

experienced with Vacuum Tube Collectors.

Propylene Glycol is a widely used ingredient in pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic, personal 

care, flavours and animal feed applications. Propylene glycol is not volatile, but is 

miscible with water. Propylene glycol is not harmful to aquatic organisms and is readily 

biodegradable; however the disposal of the solution should be done in a responsible 

manner taking into consideration local Environmental and Health & Safety legislation.

While the solution is not subject to registration as a hazardous material according to EEC 

directives the solution should be disposed of by special means. There are a number of 

specialist companies that can deal with the disposal of propylene glycol. A list of these 

companies is available upon request. A copy of the EEC Safety Data sheet and Technical 

Information sheet is available upon request. We recommend that you contact your local 

authority to check that they will accept the solution at special landfill collection points.
