Coolant Corrosion Inhibitor

Antifreeze helps prevent liquid from freezing in sub-zero temperatures, and preventing boil-outs above the designated boiling point of the same so that it doesn’t evaporate. A study confirms three-fifth of all engine problems are coolant-related. For an engine to operate optimally, only one-third of generated heat/ energy is required and the rest is released or transferred. If this transfer does not take place, it would lead to overheating of engine equipment, causing breakdown and/ or failure. Overheating adversely affects the engine's efficiency directly, affecting performance, fuel economy, maintenance, and longevity of vital engine components. Using recommended coolant ensures that the engine runs at an optimum temperature without any heat-related hassles. What is coolant to begin with? Coolant, derived from antifreeze chemicals are commercial grade antifreeze chemicals used in automobiles, DG sets, heavy-duty systems, etc., protecting the engine from getting dis

Industries dealing in glycol are known to have metals as system materials.Glycol is known to degrade with air & water into five main organic acids.These acids are better known as Glycolic Acid, Glyoxalic Acid, Formic Acid, Carbonic Acid & Oxalic Acid . Metal acts as catalyst in un-inhibited glycol solution for the formation of these acids, which then chemically attacks and corrodes system. Chemtex’s MEG Corrosion Inhibitor is a specially formulated chemical additive designed to prevent corrosion in multi-ways. It treats the surfaces of the metal making them less susceptible to corrosion. It buffers the organic acids formed as a result of glycol oxidation. Inhibited glycol based heat transfer fluids provides corrosion protection without reducing system’s heat transfer efficiency. Dosage : The amount of Corrosion Inhibitor required to inhibit corrosion depends on the type of system, application, brine concentration and plant operating conditions. The spec
