BASF Product Portfolio
Silicate-Type Hybrid Coolant
■ Balanced combination of inorganic and organic corrosion inhibitors for high dependability.
■ Silicates quickly build a stable and thin protective layer – that protect surfaces of the cooling system against corrosion, cavitation and deposition.
■ Nitrite-containing coolant (GLYSANTIN® G05®) protects cast iron engines (Heavy Duty).
■ Nitrite-free coolant (GLYSANTIN® G48®) also protects engines with higher amounts of aluminum.
■ Good long term experience with many automotive manufacturers.
BASF Product Portfolio
OAT Coolants (Organic Acid Technology)
■ In the middle of the 90´s the first silicate-free engine coolants introduced to the market by VW.
■ Only organic corrosion inhibitors with very low depletion rates ensure an extended coolant life.
■ Aluminum surfaces become darkly stained because they first oxidize and are then protected by the organic acid salts (chemical adsorption) à The oxidation is intended.
■ This technology also shows high dependability like hybrid coolants.
· GLYSANTIN® G34®
BASF Product Portfolio
Si-OAT Coolants (Silicate and Organic Acid Technology)
■ Combines the advantages of both OAT and Hybrid coolant.
■ Organic additives with low depletion rates are the backbone of the inhibitor package.
■ Silicates form a protective layer faster, especially on aluminum, without visibly changing the surface (physical adsorption).
■ VW Customer specific modification: GLYSANTIN® GG40® A proportion of the MEG is replaced by the renewable raw material Glycerin.
· GLYSANTIN® GG40®
BASF Product Portfolio
P-OAT Coolants (Phosphate and Organic Acid Technology)
■ Contains phosphate for aluminum protection
■ Designed to work at lower MEG concentrations, e.g. 30 vol. %
■ Danger of hard water scale minimized by use of additives
· GLYSANTIN® G69®
· GLYSANTIN® G70
BASF Product Portfolio
PSi-OAT Coolants (Phosphate and Silicate with Organic Acid Technology)
■ OAT technology combined with both silicate and phosphate
■ Developed to meet the requirements of modern downsized engines
■ Protective layer are formed rapidly
■ Excellent protection against cavitation
■ Improved tolerance for flux-brazed aluminium heat exchangers
Coolant for future mobility concepts
Did you know..?
… that a Tesla Model S needs approx.
This is approx. 3 times as much coolant as in a cooling system of a conventional combustion engine.
BASF Product Portfolio
Hot Test Coolant
■ Passenger cars and heavy duty engines are mostly hot tested for full functionality before shipping: The hot test fluid is drained and the engine sealed for transport.
■ Unique blend of vapor phase corrosion inhibitors which prevents corrosion.
■ After the hot test: The remaining quantity of the hot test coolant will protect the engine’s cooling system up to 6 months against corrosion.
· GLYSACORR® P113
