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.

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...

How RO Antiscalant works?

  Reverse Osmosis technology provides an efficient and reliable method for purifying water for various purposes). It can remove impurities such as salts, minerals, and other contaminants as well as microbial contaminants from the Membrane. Water molecules pass through RO membranes despite dissolved solids and other contaminants being rejected by the membrane. RO membranes are basically thin, dense, and semi-permeable membranes. However, the major significant challenge in Reverse Osmosis System is Scaling. Why does it happen? The formation of scales on the RO (Reverse Osmosis) membrane is primarily caused by the presence of certain dissolved minerals and salts in feed water. Scale refers to the accumulation of mineral deposits, such as calcium carbonate, calcium sulphate, and silica which can severely impact the efficiency and the lifespan of the RO membrane. RO Membrane scaling may lead to cause ·          Excessive Energy Consumption...
Midstream – Oil and Gas Chemicals Once petroleum products are recovered in the upstream sector, they move into the midstream sector of the petrochemical industry. What is Midstream? Midstream as the name suggests sits right between the exploration and refining sections of the petrochemical industry. The midstream sector focuses on the transportation and storage of natural gas and crude oils through various oil channels, pipelines, and oil tankers, etc. It is a hub connecting the various stages of the oilfield industry, allowing oil, natural gas, and produced water to travel from the wellhead to its final destination, and in between. This sector involves extensive installation of pipelines, transmission lines, and machinery, which signifies the requirement of long service life and reliability. To meet these standards, efficient chemicals are crucial to make midstream processes as efficient and smooth as possible. Regardless of the mode of transportation, the vast medium infrastructure...
