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

Coolant Corrosion Inhibitor accounts for providing excellent protection to metallic surfaces

Cooling process of automobiles is an important technology as it is directly or indirectly affecting the engine's performance, fuel economy, vehicle aerodynamics, passenger comfort and maintenance, and life span of other components in vehicles, etc. On account of high heat of dissipation, large radiators are now commonly found which finally results into supplementary rise in viscosity and boost the fuel consumption. Therefore, coolant serves as a crucial part of engine's system which helps to cope up with all these challenges faced by the heavy automobile industries. Coolant serves to be an important part of automobiles engine system by providing protection to the engines from freezing and to the other parts as well as components of the vehicles against corrosion. It helps to sustain the overall heat balance by effectively discarding heat energy. Thus, coolant aids in ensuring an effective performance of the engine in the near future. Generally, a good coolant m

Chemtex’s Propylene Glycol Corrosion Inhibitor is a specially formulated chemical additive designed to prevent corrosion in multi-ways.

Metal surfaces are prone to corrosion very easily.But with the help of propylene glycol corrosion inhibitor this corrosion can be prevented. 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. In Glycol system glycol is degraded from time-to-time,so it is very much important to stop this degradation.Glycol in presence of heat and air degrades into five organic acids namely: 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. Propylene glycol corrosion inhibitor is also available in Pre Inhibited Propylene Glycol and normal Propylene Glycol Glycol turning Red. What does it indicate? Due to immense corrosion in system, the rust in the system metal makes the glycol turn r
