Heat pipes?

[Eddie Lehman]

Part of the reason that you can't find it may be your spelling of it. I
couldn't remember the spelling either and had to work it back and forth a
bit. You should be able to still get it and I think the price is around $500
a gallon.

Here is the 3M page for it:

The general page for the heat transfer fluid is at:

Hope that helps...
