	36 Plus
36 Plus is our best selling fluid. It is a high index (33) general purpose arterial fluid that assures preservation and pleasing results with both normal and difficult cases. Its special blend of penetrants helps the formaldehyde reach all parts of the circulatory system assuring thorough tissue saturation and complete preservation. 36 Plus combines the use of unique chemicals which modify the effect of formaldehyde and retain moisture so that a firm body is produced, but the body is free of the tissue burn and "pruning" frequently associated with high formaldehyde fluids. Because 36 Plus contains Stop, it is particularly effective on cases where tissue gas may be a problem. The Stop also assures deep tissue penetration to help preserve frozen, decomposed, and other difficult cases. View Catalog  Order now
	Standard 32 Index
For the most difficult cases Frigid Fluid Co. recommends 32 index Standard arterial fluid. This fluid contains a high level of formaldehyde, the most effective and efficient preservative chemical available. Standard also is formulated with a generous amount of formaldehyde modifier and humectant to control dehydration. Because of these modifiers and the inclusion of unique salts and buffers, Standard can be used for routine embalming as well as for the most difficult cases. The addition of the special salts enhance the action of Standard so that its preservative power exceeds that which is normally expected in a 32 index arterial. To embalm normal cases, use Standard at a dilution of 6 to 8 ounces per gallon of diluted arterial fluid. The addition of 2 to 4 ounces per gallon of Water/Clot Guard assures even better penetration and distribution. For difficult cases where additional preservative is needed use 10 to 16 ounces per gallon of Standard or as professional judgment dictates. View Catalog  Order now
	Tissue Guard 32
Tissue Guard 32 Plus has been reformulated as a result of a recent finding that the chemical ethylene dichloride is not safe for septic systems. This chemical has been removed from the fluid and the name has been changed to Tissue Guard 32. If your prep room is attached to a septic system then you should use this fluid in place of 36 Plus. Use of Tissue Guard 32 results in a firm but not overly hard body. The effect of a special blend of humectant chemicals and water-soluble lanolin modifies this 32 index arterial fluid so that the body retains some flexibility and natural feel. Its special dye system, the TISSUE GUARD SYSTEM, is designed to give a warm, even cosmetic effect; not the harsh effect sometimes obtained using unmodified dyes. Frigid has armed this fluid with a particularly effective wetting agent. The wetting agent helps to assure thorough distribution and deep penetration of the body tissues for lasting preservation. For normal cases, use 8 to 10 ounces of Tissue Guard 32 per gallon of diluted fluid. For difficult cases, 12 to 16 ounces can be used in accordance with professional judgment. In hard water areas, use 2 to 4 ounces of Water/Clot Guard. Also use Water/Clot Guard when moderate to heavy clotting is anticipated or distribution seems to be poor. View Catalog  Order now
	Cell Guard 28 Natural
Cell Guard 28 provides a firm but not overly hard body. It is a well balanced, 28 index arterial fluid which utilizes the effects of buffers, a unique surfactant, water soluble lanolin, and additional modifying agents. Preservation is assured by the combined actions of the above chemicals and sufficient index for both normal and difficult cases. A pleasant cosmetic effect results through the use of the Cell Guard Dye system which avoids the harsh color frequently experienced with non-opacified dyes. For normal cases use 8 to 10 ounces per gallon. On difficult cases use 12 to 16 ounces per gallon or as professional judgment dictates. In hard water areas use 2 to 4 ounces per gallon of Water/Clot Guard. Also use Water/Clot Guard when moderate to heavy clotting is anticipated or distribution seems to be poor.

	Eotone
When a slightly firmer body is desired or a case requires a little higher level of preservation then Eotone arterial fluid is the answer. As a 27 index fluid Eotone contains buffers and humectants to modify its higher formaldehyde level, resulting in a light pink coloration to the skin. For normal cases use Eotone at a dilution of 6 to 8 ounces per gallon. To enhance penetration add 2 to 4 ounces per gallon of Water/Clot Guard. As a general rule use 1 gallon of diluted fluid for each 50 pounds of body weight, and inject using the intermittent drainage technique. This assures sufficient moisture content and thorough distribution of the fluid. For more difficult cases use 10 to 16 ounces of Eotone per gallon or as professional judgment dictates.

	Cell Guard 25 Natural
Cell Guard 25 is a moderately firming, well-balanced, 25 index arterial fluid. It gives a firm but pliable tissue feel by utilizing the moderating effects of water-soluble lanolin and several high-quality humectants. Thorough distribution and penetration of the tissue is assured using a unique penetrant (surfactant) and buffering system. The buffering system also assures optimum formaldehyde preservative action. These modifiers combined with the Cell Guard Dye system furnish a smooth, uniform and pleasing cosmetic effect. For normal cases use 8 to 10 ounces per gallon. For difficult cases use 12 to 16 ounces per gallon or as professional judgment dictates. To improve distribution when extensive clotting is present add 2 to 4 ounces of Water/Clot Guard to the solution. If more color is desired Cell Guard Dye is recommended. View Catalog  Order now
	Flotone
Containing three disinfecting and preserving agents, 25 index Flotone arterial fluid gives the embalmer the perfect tool for a medium firm body. Modifying chemicals work to ease the harsh effects of formaldehyde and prevent dehydration. Special buffering materials hold the pH close to the optimum for good formaldehyde action and to assure proper distribution. Flotones blend of dyes furnish a natural skin tone without blotching. The embalmer can have confidence that the results will provide good preservation, medium firming, protection against dehydration, and a pleasant skin color. For normal cases use Flotone at a dilution of 6 to 10 ounces per gallon, and at a rate of 1 gallon per 50 pounds of body weight. For decomposing remains use at a higher concentration as professional judgment dictates. The alternate injection and drainage or intermittent drainage techniques are recommended when using Flotone.

	Lanol-Tex
When the soft, smooth skin texture supplied by lanolin is desired, then Lanol-Tex arterial fluid is the choice. Containing one of the highest amounts of lanolin available in an arterial fluid, Lanol-Tex is an especially good fluid for dry, emaciated cases as well as those that may need some extra protection from dehydration. Besides the high lanolin content, Lanol-Tex also contains two other excellent modifiers that provide further protection from dehydration and furnish a more pliable tissue texture. For more normal cases, excellent results are also obtained with Lanol-Tex . At 22 index it has sufficient formaldehyde for most cases, and it is fortified with two additional disinfectant/preservatives to assure good holding power. A moderate to medium firm body is the result with a pleasing moist skin texture and a soft, pink, uniform coloration. For normal cases use Lanol-Tex at a dilution of 6 to 8 ounces per gallon. Be sure to use the intermittent drainage technique, especially with emaciated cases, in order to keep the moisture level up, and to prevent the formation of dark areas on the cheeks and other exposed areas due to dehydration. For more difficult cases due to decomposition or large size use a higher concentration of Lanol-Tex as professional judgment dictates. View Catalog  Order now
	X-20
A 20 index arterial fluid, X-20 provides a soft, but well-preserved and life-like feel and appearance to the body and skin. Containing six ingredients including silicone oils which modify the harsh effects of formaldehyde, the embalmer can be sure of an excellent cosmetic effect and a particularly pleasant result - a thoroughly embalmed body of mild firmness and uniform color with a natural, moist feel to the skin. Mildly buffered to help keep the formaldehyde base at optimum preservation levels, X-20 penetrates and distributes well. The preservatives and modifiers are carried into the tissue to give it a plasticized feel with the proper formaldehyde content for good preservation. For normal cases use X-20 at a dilution of 6 to 8 ounces per gallon at a rate of 1 gallon per 50 pounds of body weight. For emaciated cases a lower concentration should be considered. For larger cases where decomposition has started, 8 to 16 ounces per gallon should be considered according to the embalmer's professional judgment. The alternate injection and drainage or intermittent drainage technique should be used in all cases to insure thorough distribution of the fluid. View Catalog  Order now
	Natural Tone
Natural Tone is a 20 index arterial fluid which furnishes a life-like skin texture and color. Containing silicone, Natural Tone penetrates amazingly well. The silicone combined with a mild but very effective buffer system results in an excellent and uniform cosmetic effect. The feel of the skin is soft, smooth, and natural. Not only does Natural Tone produce an especially pleasing cosmetic effect but its unique blend of silicone, buffers, and humectants result in a mildly firm body with a smooth, moist feel. Preservation is assured because Natural Tone penetrates and distributes so evenly and well. Preservation is also assured because it utilizes formaldehyde, the most effective embalming preservative, as its primary ingredient. For normal cases use Natural Tone at a dilution of 5 to 8 ounces per gallon of water. For very small bodies, 4 to 6 ounces per gallon may be sufficient depending on the condition of the body.

	Perfect Tone
Perfect Tone arterial fluid is Frigid's answer to a low formaldehyde content arterial that gives a soft, smooth cosmetic effect and a thoroughly embalmed body. An 18 index fluid, Perfect Tone combines the effectiveness of formaldehyde with the distributing and modifying effects of silicone and lanolin. The soft, pastel coloring and uniform distribution are prime characteristics of good embalming. The tissue is moist and life-like with a soft to medium firm texture. Dehydration is not a problem with Perfect Tone. For normal cases use Perfect Tone in a dilution of 6 to 8 ounces per gallon. For small or emaciated bodies, use at 4 to 8 ounces per gallon with the alternate injection drainage or the intermittent drainage techniques. Open drainage is not recommended especially in the last gallon. For added color Frigid's Rose Colortone is recommended. Shake well before using Perfect Tone. View Catalog  Order now
