Making the right choice of engine coolant will ensure optimal engine performance and efficiency over many hours of driving.
The coolant is a critical part of a vehicle’s cooling system, and a state-of-the-art coolant should deliver on the following factors:
· Material Compatibility: a high performing coolant needs to show compatibility with all metal components found within the cooling system, such as aluminium, steel, copper, and brass, as well as being designed to avoid damage to seals and gaskets.
· Corrosion Protection: An essential criterion to prevent engine damage and ensure a long life of key cooling system components.
· Freeze Protection: A vital function of the Coolant Antifreeze, to ensure that the coolant doesn’t freeze when the temperature drops below zero.
· Boil Over Protection: An equally important factor, protecting the engine from overheating when temperatures are high.
· Durability: A Coolant Antifreeze with a long performance life, can reduce the need for change out and minimise maintenance requirements.
· Regulatory and Environmental Considerations: Formulators must be aware of the regulatory and environmental landscape – to ensure their Coolant Antifreeze is suitable for the modern sustainable expectations of customers.
