OVERVIEW

Protect Your Plasma System with Genuine Hypertherm Coolant

Your high-performance plasma cutter is a significant investment, and the fluid running through its veins is just as critical as the consumables at the torch tip. Hypertherm 028872 Coolant Solution is the genuine OEM fluid designed to keep your machine running cool, clean, and efficient. This 1-gallon jug comes pre-mixed with a 75/25 blend of deionized water and propylene glycol, taking the guesswork out of refilling your reservoir. It is specifically formulated to handle the intense heat generated by plasma cutting while protecting your internal components from the wear and tear of daily operation.

Why not just use water or car antifreeze? Ordinary tap water contains minerals that clog your system's fine filters and corrode the pump, while automotive antifreeze often contains conductive additives that can interfere with the plasma arc and damage your torch seals. Hypertherm's 75/25 solution is 100% compatible with your system's hoses, seals, and pumps, ensuring they stay lubricated and pliable. It also offers freeze protection down to +10°F (-12°C), making it an excellent choice for shops that may experience cooler temperatures but don't require the heavy-duty freeze protection of a 50/50 mix.

Using the correct coolant is the easiest way to prevent downtime. Overheating leads to error codes, shut-offs, and premature failure of expensive torch heads. By sticking with the 028872 solution, you ensure consistent flow rates and optimal cooling capacity. This means your consumables last longer, your cuts stay cleaner, and your machine stays in production rather than in the repair bay. Whether you are running an HPRXD, an XPR300, or any other liquid-cooled Hypertherm system, this coolant is the factory-approved choice for reliable performance.

FAQ

The 028872 75/25 mixture protects against freezing down to +10°F (-12°C). For colder environments, the 50/50 mixture (028873) is recommended.

No. Automotive antifreeze contains silicates and additives that are conductive and can damage the pump seals, clog filters, and cause electrical issues in the torch.

Yes, it is a pre-mixed solution of deionized water and propylene glycol. Do not add water.

Hypertherm generally recommends changing the coolant once a year or if the solution becomes contaminated or conductivity rises above acceptable levels.

The 028872 is a 75/25 mix (water/glycol) for temps down to +10°F. The 028873 is a 50/50 mix for temps down to -25°F.

Propylene glycol is generally considered less toxic than ethylene glycol, but you should always consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for proper handling and disposal instructions.

While it is formulated for Hypertherm systems, it is a high-quality propylene glycol solution that may work in other systems requiring similar specifications. Always check your machine's manual.

It is formulated to have very low conductivity to prevent arc starting issues and electrolysis within the torch.
