Protect your car with a coolant change - Antifreeze with Ethylene Glycol as Coolant

 Antifreeze with ethylene glycol as coolant acidifies overtime and oxidizes when exposed to air and heat. Upon oxidation, glycol breaks down into organic acids such as glycolic, glyoxalic, formic, carbonic and oxalic acid. These are corrosive and chemically attack the materials of construction corroding, cracking the process pipelines.



The major problems faced by automobiles and heavy-duty diesel engines are corrosion, pitting, scaling and acidification.

Corrosion

Corrosion affects all metal parts with the corroded products circulating freely in the cooling system later causing erosional damage, and channel blocking. This leads to system failure and increased system downtime. The second being decrease in efficiency owing to loss in heat transferring properties. Mechanical vibrations cause pressure changes in the coolant forming gas bubbles. This consistent air pocket formation and breakdown along surfaces can be repetitive and violent enough to corrode the underlining metal resulting in pitting or cavitation.

Scaling or deposition

With increase in temperatures, the dissolved salts in water of the coolant becomes less soluble and precipitate on the pipeline surfaces. Hard water scales can block a cooling system’s ability to transfer heat resulting in overheating.

System Acidification

And, finally coolants acidify/ ferment because of the degradation of liquid catalyst and burning gasses entering the system, which can harm cooling framework.

Antifreeze with Ethylene Glycol as Coolant from Chemtex Speciality ltd.

Glycol is a water-miscible antifreeze liquid frequently used in heat transfer and cooling applications. Antifreeze with ethylene glycol as coolant primarily functions as drawing away heat, and allowing the engine to operate efficiently, with lesser malfunctions and damages to its parts.

Chemtex coolants are pre-inhibited with corrosion inhibitors, foam control, etc. If not properly inhibited, the fluid gets very corrosive. These organic acids then chemically attack and corrodes the system metal, causing pitting, pinhole and stress cracking corrosion.

Corrosion Inhibited Ethylene Glycol-based antifreeze is used as an industrial / engine coolant.

The inhibitor package is designed to protect brass, copper, steel, cast iron, aluminum alloys, and other components such as rubber hoses, rubber seals, plastic components, etc., commonly found in the cooling and heating systems and in the engine and radiator.

Meets ASTM D1384, ASTM D4340, ASTM D2570, ASTM D2809 Standards.

Chemtex Speciality Ltd is one of the leading manufacturers of Ethylene Glycol based Coolant Antifreeze liquid to meet the desired end uses. It is one of the extremely useful and important organic compounds for running your vehicle smoothly and maintaining the temperature of the engine all year round. Chemtex Car Coolant comes in two variants:

·         A conventional blend NAP-free tropical car coolant

·         Extended-life coolant (ELC) with longer life & protection

Replacing Sodium Hypochlorite with Double Chain QAC based Disinfectant

Replacing Sodium Hypochlorite with Double Chain QAC based Disinfectant Remember that pungent smell when mass disinfection of public places occurs. That same irritating smell you can relate to in swimming pools, and your eyes itch and redden, and your skin itches, and there is a big board saying “Chlorine in pool”, that’s hypochlorous acid, viz., when sodium hypochlorite breaks down. Sodium hypochlorite/ Hypo (NaOCl) is inorganic chlorine based liquid disinfectant, available as aqueous solutions of 5.25% - 6.15% (household bleach) or concentrated 12% NaOCl solutions. Large quantities are also used as a disinfectant in water and wastewater treatment and sanitary equipment. In food processing, sodium hypochlorite is used to sanitize food preparation equipment, in fruit and vegetable processing, mushroom production, hog, beef and poultry production, and fish processing. Typical Uses of Hypo: ·       2%: Shock Chlorination of Wells · ...

The Role and Importance of Demulsifiers in Oil and Gas Industry

  Demulsifier helps to extract oil and purify water, which is especially important in crude oil production and wastewater treatment.   It is a substance that separates an emulsion into components and destabilizes water-in-oil emulsions. In Crude production, Water-in-oil emulsions are typically produced, owing to the presence of emulsifying agents such as surfactants, slits, fine solids, drilling mud, clay, water, and other impurities. These impurities are undesirable need to be removed which would otherwise shackle the quality of the crude.   How does It work? Demulsifier consists of two liquids that are not mixed with each other and tiny droplets of one liquid are evenly distributed throughout the volume of the other. This kind of liquid is called dispersion medium, and the droplets are called dispersed phase. During the demulsification process, a demulsifier accumulates on the surface of the droplets and groups them together.   The process of separating a...

What is EDTA? What are the applications of EDTA?

  E DTA or Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid is a weak acid used as a chelating agent. Ethylenediamine tetra acetic acid contains an amino carboxylic group with the formula C10H16N2O8. It is a versatile chemical compound with a wide range of applications across various industries. EDTA is considered an anthropogenic compound with the ability to sequester various polyvalent cations, use to minimize metal contaminants, and facilitate enzymatic reactions that could be inhibited by heavy metal traces.   How Does EDTA Work? EDTA is a versatile compound with strong chelating properties that grabs metallic cations such as lead or calcium from the process. Its chemical structure contains four carboxylic acid groups and two amine groups, which allow it to form strong bonds with metal ions, preventing them from reacting with other substances, If the bond is weak, other chemicals can break this bond to form their own compounds. EDTA is the most widely used chelating agent for the re...
