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

H2S – A Silent Ultimatum to Oilfields

H 2 S Scavenger Chemical – Introduction The world has witnessed a substantial increase in E&P of crude oil to meet the need for globalization, leading to drilling of ‘deemed undesirable’ sites, owing to the presence of higher concentration of acidic gases like hydrogen sulphide, carbon dioxide, etc. These hazardous gases require proper measures before disposal or scavenging. Of these, Hydrogen sulphide/ H 2 S is the most threatening one, especially in confined or ill ventilated places. The characteristic rotten egg smell makes H 2 S recognition easy even at lower concentrations. Hydrogen Sulphide is toxic, acidic and extremely corrosive at higher concentrations. Heavier than air, it is found more near base level of the working sites. Then comes its inflammability, which may cause explosive reaction with air molecules. With peroxides, ammonia and other oxidizing chemicals, H 2 S often goes through combustible reactions, ...

Acid Corrosion Inhibitor – Chemtex Speciality Limited

  Acid Corrosion Inhibitors are the most important inhibitor of any operation, preventing the impact of corrosion on exposed metal, tubular, downhole equipment, and surfaces and maximizing longevity, minimizing the operational cost. Corrosion is the chemical interaction with the environment that cause the deterioration of materials and it is unavoidable for all metals. When acids come into contact with metals, they initiate chemical reactions that lead to corrosion. Acid corrosion inhibitors work by forming a protective layer on the metal surface, which acts as a barrier against the corrosive acids. This layer prevents direct contact between the acid and the metal, thus inhibiting the corrosive process.
