Formerly operating as Advanced Fluid Technologies Inc, Dynalene Inc. is a supplier of industrial heat transfer fluids, brines, glycols, secondary refrigerants, coolants and hot oils. The company was founded when a research grant from the Ben Franklin Technology Partnership (BFTP) of Pennsylvania State was made available to Lehigh University and Loikits Technologies, Inc. to develop ultra-low temperature heat transfer fluids that work very efficiently below -80°C (-112°F). This research work resulted in several patents and the products were commercialized in 1996 as Advanced Fluid Technologies. The company has since developed over 40 heat transfer fluids for industrial applications and experienced significant growth; the firm was ranked by Inc. magazine to be among the fastest growing companies for two years. Dynalene has since created a Dynalene Laboratory Services business unit. The Laboratory Services division helps customers determine several critical properties of their materials or help solve technical problems they are encountering regarding heat transfer fluids. Based in Pennsylvania, the company also operates locations in Illinois and Uta
