Engine Coolant Antifreeze Liquid – Chemtex Speciality Limited




As the source of power for cars, engines get extremely hot. They produce an immense amount of heat of it requires one-third to and the rest if uncontrolled will destroy the engine, and must be expelled to prevent overheating and failures. Without proper protection, an engine can wear down and even melt, which can cost huge money to replace.



The first coolant was pure water.

Pure water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C. Outside of this range, water loses its functionality, turning into steam at one end and expanding as ice at the other. Both forms present a list of issues and cannot transfer heat effectively. To do the job properly, pure water was not enough and something was needed to be added.

Engine coolant antifreeze

Ethylene Glycol (EG) is one of the earliest antifreezes, circa 1856. It has a boiling point of 197°C and freezes at (-)13°C, allowing a wider range of functionality. By combining equal parts water and EG, the functional range of coolant expands to -36°C to 129°C while retaining the original heat transfer property.

How does a coolant work?

Engine coolant is used in conjunction with a liquid cooling system, made up of

·         Coolant pump which circulates the coolant throughout the system

·         The radiator assembly conducts heat away from the coolant

·         Radiator hoses connecting all the parts of the cooling system

·         Thermostat controlling the coolant temperature.

The coolant inside the cooling system improvises the cooling efficiency. When the engine is running, the coolant continuously circulates through the engine and returns through the radiator. Coolant is pumped through small channels in the engine block and absorbs the excess heat to control the engine temperature. When antifreeze liquid is diluted with water, it also helps lubricate the engine’s internal components.

Engine coolant antifreeze absorbs the heat from the engine and then disperses it into the air through the radiator. It also protects the engine from rusting, decreases the freezing temperature, and increasing the boiling temperature of the fluid that flows around the engine.

What is coolant made of?

Automotive coolants consist of a mixture of antifreeze with additive packages and water. These are designed to prevent corrosion and rusting.

The added inhibitors can be classified as Inorganic Acid Technology (IAT), Organic Acid Technology (OAT), or Hybrid Organic Acid Technology (HOAT).

An ideal coolant should provide:

·         Prevent freezing in cold temperatures

·         Remove corrosion and rust of metal parts in the cooling circuit and engine

·         Prevent the coolant from boiling in hot temperatures

Chemtex manufactures glycol-based coolant antifreeze liquid used as an alternative to water-based coolants. Chemtex engine coolants come in Tropical Car Coolant, and Extended Life Coolant (ELC).

These are inhibited with anti-corrosion, anti-scaling, and anti-microbial properties, protecting the engines from the adverse effects of extremely low and high temperatures. That protects your engines from cracking and increased pressure. They also prevent buildup of scale and sludge, and preventing radiator contamination and blockage.

Acid Coil Cleaner leaves the aluminum surface clean and shining bright

Improper refrigerant levels, dirty coils, and worn out compressors or condensers can result in inefficient performance of air conditioning system. An inefficient system tends to force the compressor to work harder than is required decreasing its life span and thereby leading to higher energy bills. The primary energy required in operating an air conditioning system comes from the compression of refrigerant. The hotter the compressor receives the processed refrigerant, the more energy is necessary to force it through the condenser. The refrigerant needs to become cold enough to absorb more heat from the process, therefore an external chiller such as an open evaporative condenser or air blast unit is required. It is crucial for effective air-conditioning operation that the condenser is able to easily reject heat through the cooling airflow and the heat exchanger coils. Energy consumption builds up as the refrigerant vapor pressure increases, where the refrigerant is not sufficien...

Hybrid Organic Acid Technology (HOAT) Coolant

Optimal use of machines is directly proportional to its engine performance. What an engine does is it converts the supplied energy into its mechanical form, driving the machine to work. Engines require one-third of total heat that is generated during conversion and the rest of the heat is needed to be evacuated from the combustion chamber which would otherwise lead to engine failure. Earlier, water was preferred as an ideal coolant for quite a period of time but the problem started to arise when the temperature would become extremely high or low, to be precise temperature more than 100 ° C and below 0°C. To get rid of this problem, coolants were formulated. Coolants are categorized chemicals that increases the boiling point of the fluid and decreases the freezing point of the fluid to make it suitable for use in extreme heat and freezing conditions. Coolants are a proportionate mixture of antifreeze and solvent, mainly glycol and water. Ideally utilized as a preventive in...
